Getting Started

There are two ways to start using the Stroyka template:

  • The first way is to use pre-compiled HTML files. The description of this method is below;
  • The second way is to build a template from sources, it is suitable for experienced developers (See the section Sources).

Pre-compiled HTML

After downloading and unpacking the Stroyka template, pre-compiled HTML files will be located in the HTML directory.

So, the HTML directory will look like after unpacking:

HTML/
   black/
   blue/
   default/
   green/
   red/

This directory contains different versions of the template:

  • default - standard version (yellow);
  • black - with black theme color;
  • blue - with blue theme color;
  • green - with green theme color;
  • red - with red theme color.

Choose the one you want to use (for example default):

HTML/
   default/
      css/
      images/
      js/
      vendor/
      404.html
      about-us.html
      account-addresses.html
      blog-classic.html
      ...

Description of HTML Structure, CSS Files and Javascript files are in the relevant sections.

If you want to add images or make changes to CSS or Javascript files, you need to open the corresponding files.

Please note that any errors or broken layouts that result from you editing the CSS or JavaScript files are not covered by support. Edit these files at your own risk.
To continue customizing the template, go to the "Customization" section.

HTML Structure

This template based on a responsive layout. All of the information within the main content area is nested within a body tag. The general template structure is the same throughout the template. Here is the general structure.

<body>
    <!-- site -->
    <div class="site">
        <!-- mobile site__header -->
        <header class="site__header d-lg-none">
            ...
        </header>
        <!-- mobile site__header / end -->

        <!-- desktop site__header -->
        <header class="site__header d-lg-block d-none">
            ...
        </header>
        <!-- desktop site__header / end -->

        <!-- site__body -->
        <div class="site__body">
            ...
        </div>
        <!-- site__body / end -->

        <!-- site__footer -->
        <footer class="site__footer">
            ...

    </div>
    <!-- site / end -->

    <!-- quickview-modal -->
    <div id="quickview-modal">
        ...
    </div>
    <!-- quickview-modal / end -->

    <!-- mobilemenu -->
    <div class="mobilemenu">
        ...
    </div>
    <!-- mobilemenu / end -->

    <!-- photoswipe -->
    <div class="pswp" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
        ...
    </div>
    <!-- photoswipe / end -->
</body>

Fonts

We used three fonts in this template:

  • FontAwesome (https://fontawesome.com/) Icon Font to display some icons in the template.

  • stroyka (fonts/stroyka) Custom Icon Font to display some icons in the template. It is used only in Edge to solve performance issue associated with rendering a huge amount of SVG icons.

Sources

Attention! This section is for advanced users.

Template source codes are in the Sources directory. After downloading and unpacking the template, the Sources directory will look like this:

Sources/
   gulp/
      tasks.js
   src/
      ...
   gulpfile.js
   package.json
   package-lock.json

Preparation

  1. Make sure your system has installed Node.js.
  2. Open a terminal window and go to the Source directory.
  3. Run the npm install command. This command will load all necessary dependencies specified in the package.json file.

To build the project run the command:

./node_modules/.bin/gulp build

Or (if gulp is installed globally):

gulp build

After executing the command, the compiled template will be located in the dist directory.

For a complete list of available commands, see the Gulp Tasks section below.

Gulp Tasks

Gulp tasks are in the gulp/tasks.js and gulpfile.js files. Unfortunately, such a bit unusual structure is necessary for us to automatically build the package for themeforest.

Gulp tasks description:

  • twig - Compiles twig templates into html pages.
  • scss - Compiles scss to css/style.css file.
  • vendor - Copies the contents of the src/vendor directory to the dist/vendor directory.
  • images - Copies the contents of the src/images directory to the dist/images directory.
  • svg - Creates SVG sprite (sprite.svg) from svg files and save it to the dist/images directory.
  • js - Copies the contents of the src/js directory to the dist/js directory.
  • fonts - Copies the contents of the src/fonts directory to the dist/fonts directory.
  • clean - Removes the dist directory.
  • build - Builds a template (default task).
  • watch - Runs the template build process with change tracking.
  • serve - Starts a local HTTP server and runs the template build process with change tracking.

Twig templates

We used twig.js as a template engine (this is a port of the popular PHP library for javascript). Documentation on its syntax can be found on the official site.

Data for templates

Each file from the Sources/src/data directory is projected into the global namespace. The variable name is the file name without the extension. For example, we have the file Sources/src/data/theme.json with the following contents:

{
    "name": "Stroyka"
}

Now, to display the name of the theme in the template, we can use the following construction {{ theme.name }}.

Pay attention to the fact that all files must be in json format, and their names must match the regular expression /^[_A-Za-z0-9]+\.json$/.

Template directories

The directory with the templates (Sources/src/twig) is divided into the following subdirectories:

  • blocks - Independent parts that can be used on different pages.
  • footer - Template files associated with the site footer.
  • header - Template files associated with the site header.
  • layouts - In this directory is the base layout used by all pages.
  • pages - These are the main template files that are directly compiles into html page files.
  • partials - Other parts not included in any other directory.
  • widgets - Component parts of blocks (usually they are used in the sidebar).

SCSS Files

The directory with SCSS files contains the following files and subdirectories:

scss/
   blocks/
   blog/
   common/
   components/
   filters/
   footer/
   header/
   mixins/
   pages/
   shop/
   themes/
   widgets/
   _custom.scss
   _custom-variables.scss
   _functions.scss
   _variables.scss
   style.ltr.scss
   style.rtl.scss
   style.scss

You can make changes to any of these files.

To make it easier for you in the future to upgrade the template to the new version, we recommend (if possible) making changes only to _custom-variables.scss and _custom.scss files.

  • _custom-variables.scss - It is used to override the values of variables.
  • _custom.scss - Use to write your own scss code.

Predefined color schemes

To compile a template with one of the predefined color schemes, open the _custom-variables.scss file, then find and uncomment one of the following lines:

//@import 'themes/red';
//@import 'themes/blue';
//@import 'themes/black';
//@import 'themes/green';

After that, you need to rebuild the template using the gulp build command.

How does LTR/RTL support work?

The direction is controlled using two scss variables:

  • $direction - indicates direction. Possible values: ltr or rtl.
  • $both-directions - if true compiles styles for two directions, the $direction variable will be ignored. Possible values: true or false.

Some "magic" variables are also used, which change their value depending on the given direction value. The names of these variables are the same as the names of the Logical Properties (for example, variable $margin-inline-start). These variables should only be used in the direction mixin.

This example demonstrates how it works:

.alert {
    @include direction {
        #{$margin-inline-start}: 20px;
    }
}

Will be compiled to:

  • If $direction == ltr and $both-directions == false:

     .alert {
         margin-left: 20px;
     }
  • If $direction == rtl and $both-directions == false:

    .alert {
        margin-right: 20px;
    }
  • If $both-directions == true:

    [dir=ltr] .alert {
        margin-left: 20px;
    }
    [dir=rtl] .alert {
        margin-right: 20px;
    }

What if you want to use only one direction?

Open src/scss/_custom-variables.scss, and define next variables:

$direction:       ltr;   // specify the direction you need (ltr or rtl)
$both-directions: false; // set to false to disable style compilation
                         // for two directions

    2. Find comments <!-- mobile-logo --> and <!-- mobile-logo / end --> and replace code between them with your logo image.

How to change the font?

If you are working with HTML files:

  1. In HTML files find and replace with the desired font:
    <!-- fonts -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400i,500,500i,700,700i">
  2. Open the css/style.css file.
  3. Insert at the end:
    body {
        font-family: "YOUR_FONT_NAME";
    }

If you are working with source code:

  1. Open the src/twig/layouts/default.twig file.
  2. Find and replace with the desired font:
    <!-- fonts -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400i,500,500i,700,700i">

Social links appear in the About Us widget on the blog and in the site footer. To add your own link, follow the instructions:

  1. First you need to choose an icon for your link, go to https://fontawesome.com/ and use site search. When you find the icon you need, copy its classes (for example: fab fa-github) and return to this instruction.

If you are working with HTML files:

  1. In HTML files, find comments <!-- social-links --> and <!-- social-links / end -->, between these comments add an additional element to the .social-links__list, for example:

    <ul class="social-links__list">
        ...
        <li class="social-links__item">
            <!-- Next .social-links__link--type--github class will be used to set the icon color. -->
            <a class="social-links__link social-links__link--type--github" href="https://github.com/4Bos" target="_blank">
                <!-- Put the early copied CSS classes (fab fa-github) in the "class" attribute of this tag. -->
                <i class="fab fa-github"></i>
            </a>
        </li>
    </ul>
  2. Open the css/style.css and append to the end:

    .social-links__link--type--github {
        background-color: #24292e;
        color: #fff;
    }

If you are working with source code:

  1. Open the src/data/social_links.json and add a new element to the root array:
    [
        // ...
        // type - will be used to generate link class,
        //        for example: social-links__link--type--github.
        // icon - the early copied CSS classes (fab fa-github).
        // url  - social link url.
        {"type": "github", "icon": "fab fa-github", "url": "https://github.com/4Bos"}
    ]
  2. Open the src/scss/_custom-variables.scss and define colors for our social link:
    $social-links: (
        // The map key (github) must be the same as the type in the
        // social_links.json file.
        github: (bg-color: #24292e, font-color: #fff),
    );

This is the end. Of course, don't forget to follow me on github.

How to always show the "Add to cart" button in the product card?

Just remove the class product-card--hidden-actions from all .product-card's.

<!-- Replace -->
<div class="product-card product-card--hidden-actions">
    ...
</div>

<!-- With -->
<div class="product-card">
    ...
</div>

    .product-image__body {
        padding-bottom: calc(100% * (3 / 4));
    }
    where 4 is the relative width of the image and 3 is the relative height of the image.

If you are working with source code:

  1. Open the src/scss/_custom-variables.scss file.
  2. And define a special variables, as in the example below:
    $product-image-width:  4; // Relative image width.
    $product-image-height: 3; // Relative image height.

Known Issues

SVG icons are not displayed when opening HTML files in a browser

When loading pages via file:// URI, due to the security policy, browsers block the loading of external SVG icons because they have a unique origin. To fix this, you need to open HTML files using the HTTP/HTTPS protocol. To do this, launch a local HTTP server or upload files to a remote server.
