In this tutorial, we will discuss Framework7 Installation.
Download Framework7
There are two ways to download Framework7:
Download from Framework7 Github Repository:
Or you can install Framework7 via bower
Download Framework7 Library from CDNs
A CDN or Content Delivery Network is a network of servers designed to serve files to users. If you use a CDN link in your web page, it moves the responsibility of hosting files from your own servers to a series of external ones. This also offers an advantage that if a visitor to your webpage has already downloaded a copy of Framework7 from the same CDN, it won’t have to be re-downloaded. You can include the following CDN files into the HTML document.
CDN for iOS App layout:
<link rel = "stylesheet" href = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.min.css" />
Framework7 iOS CSS Library:
<link rel = "stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.colors.min.css" />
CDNs for Android/Material App Layout:
<script src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/js/framework7.min.js"></script>
Framework7 JS library:
<script src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.material.min.css"></script>
Ampps Server
We use AMPPS (AMPPS is a WAMP, MAMP and LAMP stack of Apache, MySQL, MongoDB, PHP, Perl & Python) server to execute all our examples.
In the downloaded/installed package we need files from the dist/ folder.
Dist folder path:
Bydefault dist/ folder path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\dist
Put your HTML, .JS and CSS files in your server root folder (dist folder), open local host and then run the page.
Example:
Create an HTML page “framework7_environment.html”, having the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width, initial-scale = 1,
maximum-scale = 1, minimum-scale = 1, user-scalable = no, minimal-ui" />
<meta name = "apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content = "yes" />
<meta name = "apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content = "black" />
<title>My App</title>
<link rel = "stylesheet"
href = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.min.css" />
<link rel = "stylesheet"
href = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.colors.min.css" />
</head>
<body>
//you can control the background color of the Status bar
<div class = "statusbar-overlay"></div>
<div class = "panel-overlay"></div>
<div class = "panel panel-right panel-reveal">
<div class = "content-block">
<p>Contents goes here...</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class = "views">
<div class = "view view-main">
<div class = "navbar">
<div class = "navbar-inner">
<div class = "center sliding">My App</div>
<div class = "right">
<a href = "#" class = "link icon-only open-panel">
<i class = "icon icon-bars"></i>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class = "pages navbar-through toolbar-through">
<div data-page = "index" class = "page">
<div class = "page-content">
<p>This is simple application...</p>
<div class = "list-block">
<ul>
<li>
<a href = "envirmnt_about.html" class = "">
<div class = "item-content">
<div class = "item-inner">
<div class = "item-title">Blog</div>
</div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class = "toolbar">
<div class = "toolbar-inner">
<a href = "#" class = "link">First Link</a>
<a href = "#" class = "link">Second Link</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type = "text/javascript"
src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/js/framework7.min.js"></script>
<script>
// here initialize the app
var myApp = new Framework7();
// If your using custom DOM library, then save it to $$ variable
var $$ = Dom7;
// Add the view
var mainView = myApp.addView('.view-main', {
// enable the dynamic navbar for this view:
dynamicNavbar: true
});
//use the 'pageInit' event handler for all pages
$$(document).on('pageInit', function (e) {
//get page data from event data
var page = e.detail.page;
if (page.name === 'blog') {
// you will get below message in alert box when page with data-page attribute is equal to "about"
myApp.alert('Here its your About page');
}
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
Create another HTML page “envirmnt_about.html”, having the following code:
<div class = "navbar">
<div class = "navbar-inner">
<div class = "left">
<a href = "#" class = "back link">
<i class = "icon icon-back"></i>
<span>Back</span>
</a>
</div>
<div class = "center sliding">My Blog</div>
<div class = "right">
<a href = "#" class = "link icon-only open-panel">
<i class = "icon icon-bars"></i>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class = "pages">
<div data-page = "blog" class = "page">
<div class = "page-content">
<div class = "content-block">
<h2>My Blog</h2>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Save the above both pages in dist folder. Now open server: http://localhost/dist/ and run the example.
