Welcome to the world of Locastyle, a front-end framework specially crafted for building admin interfaces. Developed by Locaweb, this framework focuses on delivering an engaging user experience while streamlining the design process. In this article, we will guide you through the installation process and usage, with troubleshooting tips to kick off your journey with Locastyle.
How to Install Locastyle
Locastyle can be integrated into your project through various methods. We recommend a straightforward approach by including it directly from our server. Here’s how:
<html>
<head>
<!-- Insert the CSS in HEAD -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://assets.locaweb.com.br/locastyle/3.10.1/stylesheets/locastyle.css">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your code -->
<!-- jQuery is a dependency -->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.1.min.js"></script>
<!-- Put the JS in your footer, always after jQuery (dependency) -->
<script src="https://assets.locaweb.com.br/locastyle/3.10.1/javascripts/locastyle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>An Analogy to Understand the Code Structure
Imagine you are preparing a feast, and the kitchen represents your web project.
- First, you start with your ingredients (CSS). This is like adding the right spices and flavors to your dish. You import these flavors by linking to the Locastyle CSS file in the
<head>section of your HTML. - Next, you need to ensure all your cooking tools are available (JavaScript). This involves loading jQuery first because it is a vital tool that Locastyle’s own JavaScript relies on—just like how you need a good knife before you can start chopping vegetables.
- Finally, you bring everything into the kitchen at the end (your own JS code), making sure your cooking tools are set up for a harmonious cooking process. This is achieved by including the Locastyle JS at the footer of your document.
