NAME

Dancer::Layout::Bootstrap - Boostrap layout for Dancer

SYNOPSIS

  # 1. Copy the included template files to your dancer application
  # 2. Change the "layout" parameter in config.yml to "bootstrap3"
  # 3. Dance On!

  # Preview the layout
  plackup -a bin\app.pl

ABSTRACT

Template and dummy application that applies the Bootstrap CSS to Dancer.

SUPPORTED FEATURES

If you want to show alerts etc., the main template already provides support for that via Dancer::Plugin::FlashMessage.

    flash success => sprintf "Welcome back, %s",
        session('user')->{name};

... will produce a nice, green "Welcome back" message for the user.

All flash message output is HTML escaped for security reasons.

TEMPLATE FILES IN THIS DISTRIBUTION

The meat of this package are the template and Bootstrap and jQuery files. These don't get installed but live in the distribution. You will need to copy the following files and directories into your application directory, at least until Dancer resp. the dancer application comes with a way to specify default layouts when generating a new application scaffold.

You will likely want to use either Bootstrap 2 or Bootstrap 3. See the appropriate list of files to copy.

NEEDED MODULES

The simple templating included with Dancer does not properly support user log-in / log out, so the template needs Template::Toolkit.
