The "assets" app provides some static asset files and templates that can be published into a project directory and serves static files as "/assets".
The "assets" app has static asset files that can be published into your project directory with the following command:
node . publish --assets assets
That command will place the following directories into assets/:
bootstrap/: The dist directory from bootstrap.bootswatch/: The dist directory from bootstrap.fontawesome/: The dist directory from @fortawesome/free.jquery: The dist directory from jquery.They will be served by default under "/assets", so the bootstrap CSS file would be available at "/assets/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css".
The "assets" app has template files that can be published into your project directory wiht the following command:
node . publish --templates assets
That command will write some templates into templates/carolina/.
The template file carolina/base.pug is a basic base template that you can
use. It has some basic meta tags, including one that tracks the router's
mount point and another that adds the CSRF token,
and a block for css, title, body, and js.
The template file carolina/bootstrap_base.pug extends that and adds bootstrap
CSS and JS files as well as JQuery.
The carolina/includes directory contains some templates you can include in
your templates. You should include by relative path within the templates
directory.
The file carolina/includes/csrf_input.pug creates a
hidden form input that sends the
correct CSRF token with the form with the name "_csrf". This is automatically
found by the CSRF middleware and checked (if CSRF is applied).
Example:
form
include '../path/to/carolina/includes/csrf_input'
input(type="text" name="username")The file carolina/includes/bootstrap_flash_message.pug adds bootstrap alerts
containing any current flash messages from the flash middleware.
The router defined by the "assets" app simply serves the assets/ directory
as static files. It's mount point is determined by the urls configuration in
config/routes.js, and is "/assets" by default.
