I tried to use MDB (material desing bootstrap) in Django for a cool material design. However, I spent a little time setting it up, so I'll write it down so I don't forget it. It describes styling the application memo in the Django project mysite.

Create static folder

Create a / mysite / memo / static / memo directory in the app memo directory. Django seems to store static files such as css and js in / static /.

Download MDB-Free_4.15.0.zip and unzip it to / static /. https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/jquery/getting-started/download/

mysite/
  mysite/
  memo/
    __pycache__/
    migrations/
    templates/
      memo/
    static
      memo/           <-Unzip MDB under this
        css/
        img/
        js/
        scss/
        src/

Specify the location of the static directory in settings.py of / mysite / mysite. That said, the default is STATIC_URL ='/ static /', so I didn't change it.

Edit template

Rewrite the template html file to install MDB.

Specific procedure

--Write {% load static%} at the beginning of the template ――The very first line seems to be good -Write the MDB settings in \ <head > --Specify browser compatibility and responsive design with meta element -\ <head > to load the stylesheet with link --Specify the path as {% static'memo / css / bootstrap.min.css'%} -Read the js file at the end of \ <body > --Specify the path as {% static'memo / js / jquery.min.js'%} --After that, specify the style setting with \ <div > --This is the same as using normal bootstrap

Rewritten template example

`memo/template/memo/memo_list.html`

Digression

If you want to try bootstrap anyway, remembering only three basic rules will do the trick at first. With material design bootstrap, this alone looks pretty decent.

--First, enclose the entire body part with <div class =" container "> --Enclose what you want to put side by side in one row with <div class =" row "> --Enclose each side by side in one line with <div class =" col-md-numbers "> so that the total number is 12.
