Cookiecutter Django Foundation

Cookiecutter Django Foundation is fork of awesome Cookiecutter Django. Powered by Cookiecutter, Cookiecutter Django is a framework for jumpstarting production-ready Django projects quickly. Cookiecutter Django Foundation uses the Zurb Foundation 6 as the front end framework. This project combines the Cookiecutter Django with the Foundation framework. The project contains a _settings.scss file to easily customize the default styling of the Foundation framework. For example, the default colors can be changed by changing the foundation-palette.

$foundation-palette: (
  primary: #1779ba,
  secondary: #767676,
  success: #3adb76,
  warning: #ffae00,
  alert: #cc4b37,
);

Usage

Let's pretend you want to create a Django project called "redditclone". Rather than using startproject and then editing the results to include your name, email, and various configuration issues that always get forgotten until the worst possible moment, get cookiecutter to do all the work.

First, get Cookiecutter. Trust me, it's awesome:

$ pip install "cookiecutter>=1.4.0"

Now run it against this repo:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/Parbhat/cookiecutter-django-foundation

You'll be prompted for some values. Provide them, then a Django project will be created for you.

Warning: After this point, change 'Daniel Greenfeld', 'pydanny', etc to your own information.

Answer the prompts with your own desired options. For example:

Now take a look at your repo. Don't forget to carefully look at the generated README. Awesome, right?

Modify the default styles of Foundation

The projects generated with this cookiecutter include a settings file, named _settings.scss. You can find the settings file under <project_slug>/static/sass.

Every component includes a set of variables that modify core structural or visual styles. If there's something you can't customize with a variable, you can just write your own CSS to add it.

Here's an example set of settings variables. These change the default styling of buttons:

// Default padding for button.
$button-padding: 0.85em 1em !default;

// Default margin for button.
$button-margin: 0 $global-padding $global-padding 0 !default;

// Default fill for button. Is either solid or hollow.
$button-fill: solid !default;

// Default background color for button.
$button-background: $primary-color !default;

// Default hover background color for button.
$button-background-hover: scale-color($button-background, $lightness: -15%) !default;

// Default font color for button.
$button-font-color: #fff !default;

// Default alternative font color for button.
$button-font-color-alt: #000 !default;

// Default radius for button.
$button-radius: 0 !default;

// Default sizes for button.
$button-sizes: (
  tiny: 0.7,
  small: 0.8,
  medium: 1,
  large: 1.3,
) !default;

// Default font size for button.
$button-font-size: 0.9rem !default;

// Default opacity for a disabled button.
$button-opacity-disabled: 0.25 !default;
