<br />

## Manual Build

> 👉 Download the code
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/django-argon-dashboard.git
$ cd django-argon-dashboard
```

<br />

> 👉 Install modules via `VENV`
```bash
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```

<br />

> 👉 Set Up Database
```bash
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
```

<br />

> 👉 Create the Superuser
```bash
$ python manage.py createsuperuser

<br />

> 👉 Start the app
```bash
$ python manage.py runserver
```

At this point, the app runs at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/`.

<br />

## Codebase structure

The project is coded using a simple and intuitive structure presented below:

```bash
< PROJECT ROOT >

|-- core/
| |-- settings.py # Project Configuration
| |-- urls.py # Project Routing
|
|-- home/
| |-- views.py # APP Views
| |-- urls.py # APP Routing

| |-- tests.py # Tests
| |-- templates/ # Theme Customisation
| |-- includes #
| |-- custom-footer.py # Custom Footer

![Django Argon Dashboard - Open-Source Django Starter](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/51070104/215804889-94eba681-8262-41a3-8e57-7d5b12dcc209.png)

<br />

## How to Customize
## [Argon Dashboard PRO Version](https://app-generator.dev/product/argon-dashboard-pro/django/)

When a template file is loaded in the controller, `Django` scans all template directories starting from the ones defined by the user, and returns the first match or an error in case the template is not found.
The theme used to style this starter provides the following files:
> The premium version provides more features, priority on support, and is more often updated - [Live Demo](https://django-argon-dash2-pro.onrender.com/charts/)
```bash
# This exists in ENV: LIB/admin_argon
< UI_LIBRARY_ROOT >
|
|-- templates/ # Root Templates Folder
| |
| |-- accounts/
| | |-- sign-in.html # Sign IN Page
| | |-- sign-up.html # Sign UP Page
| |
| |-- includes/
| | |-- footer.html # Footer component
| | |-- sidebar.html # Sidebar component
| | |-- navigation.html # Navigation Bar
| | |-- scripts.html # Scripts Component
| |
| |-- layouts/
| | |-- base.html # Masterpage
| | |-- base-fullscreen.html # Masterpage for Auth Pages
| |
| |-- pages/
| |-- dashboard.html # Dashboard page
| |-- profile.html # Settings Page
| |-- *.html # All other pages
|
|-- ************************************************************************
```

When the project requires customization, we need to copy the original file that needs an update (from the virtual environment) and place it in the template folder using the same path.

> For instance, if we want to **customize the footer.html** these are the steps:
-`Step 1`: create the `templates` DIRECTORY inside the `home` app
-`Step 2`: configure the project to use this new template directory
- `core/settings.py` TEMPLATES section
-`Step 3`: copy the `footer.html` from the original location (inside your ENV) and save it to the `home/templates` DIR
- Source PATH: `<YOUR_ENV>/LIB/admin_argon/includes/footer.html`
- Destination PATH: `<PROJECT_ROOT>home/templates/includes/footer.html`

> To speed up all these steps, the **codebase is already configured** (`Steps 1, and 2`) and a `custom footer` can be found at this location:
`home/templates/includes/custom_footer.html`

By default, this file is unused because the `theme` expects `footer.html` (without the `custom-` prefix).

In order to use it, simply rename it to `footer.html`. Like this, the default version shipped in the library is ignored by Django.

In a similar way, all other files and components can be customized easily.

<br />

## Recompile SCSS

The SCSS/CSS files used to style the Ui are saved in the `static/assets` directory.
In order to update the Ui colors (primary, secondary) this procedure needs to be followed.

```bash
$ yarn # install modules
$ # # edit variables
$ vi static/assets/scss/argon-dashboard/custom/_variables.scss
$ gulp # SCSS to CSS translation
```

The `_variables.scss` content defines the `primary` and `secondary` colors:

```scss
$primary: #5e72e4 !default; // EDIT for customization
$secondary: #8392ab !default; // EDIT for customization
$info: #11cdef !default; // EDIT for customization
$success: #2dce89 !default; // EDIT for customization
$warning: #fb6340 !default; // EDIT for customization
$danger: #f5365c !default; // EDIT for customization
```

<br />

## Deploy on [Render](https://render.com/)

- Create a Blueprint instance
- Go to https://dashboard.render.com/blueprints this link.
- Click `New Blueprint Instance` button.
