Dependencies

Novo depends on two main frameworks. The downloadable package contains both of these libraries, so you don't have to manually download them.

• Bootstrap v5.2.x
• jQuery v3.3.1

Plugins

Novo makes use of the following plugins. For documentation, updates or license information, please visit the provided links.

The layout consists of four major parts:

• Wrapper .wrapper. A div that wraps the whole site.
• Main Header .main-header. Contains the logo and navbar.
• Sidebar .sidebar-wrapper. Contains the user panel and sidebar menu.
• Content .content-wrapper. Contains the page header and content.

Layout Options

Novo provides a set of options to apply to your main layout. Each one of these classes can be added to the body tag to get the desired goal.

• Fixed: use the class .fixed to get a fixed header and sidebar.
• Collapsed Sidebar: use the class .sidebar-collapse to have a collapsed sidebar upon loading.
• Boxed Layout: use the class .layout-boxed to get a boxed layout that stretches only to 1250px.

Skins

Skins can be found in the css/skins folder. Choose the skin file that you want and then add the appropriate class to the body tag to change the template's appearance. Here is the list of available skins:

RTL Version

File Location:css/master_style_rtl.css

Dark Version

File Location:css/master_style_dark.css

The main header contains the logo and navbar. Construction of the navbar differs slightly from Bootstrap because it has components that Bootstrap doesn't provide. The navbar can be constructed in two ways. This is an example for the normal navbar.

Below code is used at the main header of all HTML pages

<header class="main-header">

Control sidebar is the right side bar. It can be used for many purposes and is extremely easy to create. The sidebar ships with two different show/hide styles. The first allows the sidebar to slide over the content. The second pushes the content to make space for the sidebar. Either of these methods can be set through the Javascript options.

The following code should be placed within the .wrapper div. I prefer to place it right after the footer.

Below code is used at the Right sidebar (Dark Markup) of all HTML pages

		<!-- The Right Sidebar -->
		<aside class="control-sidebar control-sidebar-dark">
		  <!-- Content of the sidebar goes here -->
		</aside>
		<!-- The sidebar's background -->
		<!-- This div must placed right after the sidebar for it to work-->
		<div class="control-sidebar-bg"></div>
		

Once you create the sidebar, you will need a toggle button to open/close it. By adding the attribute data-toggle="control-sidebar" to any button, it will automatically act as the toggle button.

Below code is used at the Right sidebar (Light Markup) of all HTML pages

		<!-- The Right Sidebar -->
		<aside class="control-sidebar control-sidebar-light">
		  <!-- Content of the sidebar goes here -->
		</aside>
		<!-- The sidebar's background -->
		<!-- This div must placed right after the sidebar for it to work-->
		<div class="control-sidebar-bg"></div>
		

Once you create the sidebar, you will need a toggle button to open/close it. By adding the attribute data-toggle="control-sidebar" to any button, it will automatically act as the toggle button.

Sidebar Toggle Markup

		<a href="#" data-toggle="control-sidebar" title="Setting"><i class="fa fa-cog fa-spin"></i></a>
		
		<div class="rpanel-title"><span class="pull-right btn btn-circle btn-danger"><i class="ion ion-close text-white" data-toggle="control-sidebar"></i></span> </div>
		

The box component is the most widely used component through out this template. You can use it for anything from displaying charts to just blocks of text.

Below code is used at the box component of all HTML pages

<div class="box">
  <div class="box-header with-border">
	<h4 class="box-title">Box <strong>slided up</strong></h4>
	<ul class="box-controls pull-right">
	  <li><a class="box-btn-close" href="#"></a></li>
	  <li><a class="box-btn-slide" href="#"></a></li>
	  <li><a class="box-btn-fullscreen" href="#"></a></li>
	</ul>
  </div>

  <div class="box-body">
	<div class="callout callout-warning mb-0" role="alert">
	  Toggle button requires the box body to be wrapped inside a <code>.box-body</code>.
	</div>
	<div class="box-body">
	  <p>Ut vestibulum enim vitae elit luctus, id tincidunt metus suscipit. Pellentesque scelerisque, massa ut fringilla mollis, sem tortor pharetra mi, non consequat velit dui sed lorem.</p>
	</div>
  </div>
</div>
		

Box controls

Boxes can contain tools to deploy a specific event or provide simple info. The following examples makes use of multiple Novo components within the header of the box.

<div class="box">
  <div class="box-header with-border">
	<h4 class="box-title">Box <strong>slided up</strong></h4>
	<ul class="box-controls pull-right">
	  <li><a class="box-btn-close" href="#"></a></li>
	  <li><a class="box-btn-slide" href="#"></a></li>
	  <li><a class="box-btn-fullscreen" href="#"></a></li>
	</ul>
  </div>
</div>
						

Solid Box

Solid Boxes are alternative ways to display boxes. They can be created by simply adding the box-solid class to the box component. You may also use contextual classes with you solid boxes.

<div class="box box-solid bg-dark">...</div>
<div class="box box-solid bg-primary">...</div>
<div class="box box-solid bg-info">...</div>
<div class="box box-solid bg-warning">...</div>
<div class="box box-solid bg-success">...</div>
