README

This package provides a theme for the Backpack for Laravel administration panel, that uses Tabler and implicitly Bootstrap v5. All esthetic customizations on top of Tabler are done in separate CSS files, which can be easily edited if you don't like them.

The file structure inside this package has changed a bit from Backpack v3-v5. We've split split it into smaller, more granual views. So that if you need to customize something by publishing a view, your change is small. If you want the old file structure, you can use the CoreUI v4 or CoreUI v2 themes.

     * In case "defaultColorMode" is null, system is the default.
     */

    /**

Uninstalling

To uninstall this Backpack theme:

1. Remove the composer package. Eg. composer remove backpack/theme-tabler
2. Delete the config file. Eg. rm -rf config/backpack/theme-tabler.php
3. Install a new theme (eg. php artisan backpack:require:theme-coreuiv4) or change the view_namespace in config/backpack/ui.php to the theme you want to be active.

Overriding

If you need to change a blade file in any way, you can easily copy-paste the file to your app, and modify that file any way you want. If you do that to the correct directory, your file will be used instead of the one in the package. But please keep in mind that you will NOT be getting any updates for that file.

The more files you copy-paste and customize, the more difficult it will be to upgrade to newer versions. So please avoid doing this too much.

# create the custom directory if it's not already there
mkdir -p resources/views/vendor/backpack/theme-tabler

# copy the blade file inside the folder we created above
cp -i vendor/backpack/crud/src/resources/views/ui/dashboard.blade.php resources/views/vendor/backpack/theme-tabler/dashboard.blade.php
