Use the AdminLTE template in PHP's Laravel framework to write the website backend interface, laraveladminlte

AdminLTE template is used in PHP's Laravel framework to write the website backend interface. laraveladminlte

AdminLTE is a free advanced management control panel theme based on Bootstrap 3.x, fully responsive management , suitable for many screen resolutions from small mobile devices to large desktop computers.

Features of AdminLTE:

Full response
Classifiable dashboard
18 plugins and 3 custom plugins
Lightweight and fast
Compatible with most major browsers
Full support for Glyphicons, Fontawesome and icons

Tools we use

Laravel
AdminLTE 2.3.2
Bower
Composer

Download a brand new Laravel
If you are not sure, you can go to the official website to view the documentation link
Here we can use the command line directly

composer create-project laravel/laravel myapp --prefer-dist

Copy after login

With this command we create a new Laravel project named myapp. If you succeed, you can see the picture below

Download AdminLTE via Bower
Go to the myapp/public folder

 
 cd myapp/public

Copy after login

Execute the following command in this folder

 bower install admin-lte

Copy after login

Once completed, you will find an additional bower_componets folder, and in this folder you will see AdminLTE

Convert AdminLTE starter.html to Blade template
Laravel uses Blade, a good template engine here. In order to make full use of Blade, we need to apply some regular and common HTML start pages to the Blade template. First, create a view in resources/views folder, named admin_template.blade.php, and then we create a corresponding route for this page. As I created below

 Route::get('admin', function () {
  return view('admin_template');
 });

Copy after login

Then, copy the content in bower_components/admin-lte/starter.html to our view template, and point the relevant links to the corresponding directory of our AdminLTE. The following is my preliminary setting:

<script src="{{ asset("/bower_components/AdminLTE/plugins/jQuery/jQuery-2.1.4.min.js")}}"></script>
<!-- Bootstrap 3.3.5 -->
<script src="{{ asset("/bower_components/AdminLTE/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js")}}"></script>
<!-- AdminLTE App -->
<script src="{{ asset("/bower_components/AdminLTE/dist/js/app.min.js")}}"></script>

Copy after login

Similar to this, point the relevant links of css and js to the corresponding directory, and then we check the changes of the page through localhost:8000/admin. At this time, the page becomes as follows:

Now that we have all the resources to use AdminLTE, let’s add the final touches to our main view. I will separate this template into three files, sidebar.blade.php, header.blade.php , and footer.blade.php
The contents of these three files are the admin_template.blade.phpheader part, the aside part, and the footer part. Cut these three parts out and put them into three files in sequence.

Final touches
Now that we have personalized our templates separated, we need to set up our initial admin_template.blade.php
Template to facilitate dynamic loading of content, as shown below:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{{ $page_title or "AdminLTE Dashboard" }}</title>
<meta content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no' name='viewport'>

  apply the skin class to the body tag so the changes take effect.

In the above code, we added contentn, which contains our main content, added page titles for different pages, and renamed it to dashboard.blade.php. Now this template is ready for use.

Test page

To verify what we have done previously, I will create a simple page

1. Create test.blade.php

@extends('dashboard')
@section('content')
<div class='row'>
 <div class='col-md-6'>
  <!-- Box -->
  <div class="box box-primary">
   <div class="box-header with-border">
    <h3 class="box-title">Randomly Generated Tasks</h3>
    <div class="box-tools pull-right">
     <button class="btn btn-box-tool" data-widget="collapse" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Collapse"><i class="fa fa-minus"></i></button>
     <button class="btn btn-box-tool" data-widget="remove" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Remove"><i class="fa fa-times"></i></button>
    </div>
   </div>
   <div class="box-body">
    @foreach($tasks as $task)
     <h5>
      {{ $task['name'] }}
      <small class="label label-{{$task['color']}} pull-right">{{$task['progress']}}%</small>
     </h5>
     <div class="progress progress-xxs">
      <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-{{$task['color']}}" style="width: {{$task['progress']}}%"></div>
     </div>
    @endforeach

   </div><!-- /.box-body -->
   <div class="box-footer">
    <form action='#'>
     <input type='text' placeholder='New task' class='form-control input-sm' />
    </form>
   </div><!-- /.box-footer-->
  </div><!-- /.box -->
 </div><!-- /.col -->
 <div class='col-md-6'>
  <!-- Box -->
  <div class="box box-primary">
   <div class="box-header with-border">
    <h3 class="box-title">Second Box</h3>
    <div class="box-tools pull-right">

     <button class="btn btn-box-tool" data-widget="remove" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Remove"><i class="fa fa-times"></i></button>

   <div class="box-body">

2. Create TestController.php

php artisan make:controller TestController --plain

Copy after login

The following is the code part of this controller:

 <&#63;php

  namespace App\Http\Controllers;

  use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  use App\Http\Requests;
  use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

  class TestController extends Controller
  {
   public function index() {
   $data['tasks'] = [
     [
      'name' => 'Design New Dashboard',
      'progress' => '87',
      'color' => 'danger'
     ],
     [
      'name' => 'Create Home Page',
      'progress' => '76',
      'color' => 'warning'
     ],
     [
      'name' => 'Some Other Task',
      'progress' => '32',
      'color' => 'success'
     ],
     [
      'name' => 'Start Building Website',
      'progress' => '56',
      'color' => 'info'
     ],
     [
      'name' => 'Develop an Awesome Algorithm',
      'progress' => '10',
      'color' => 'success'
     ]
   ];
   return view('test')->with($data);
  }

 }
