## File structure Whenever possible, avoid modifying CoreUI core files. For Sass, that means creating your own stylesheet that imports CoreUI for Bootstrap so you can modify and extend it. Assuming you're using a package manager like npm, you'll have a file structure that looks like this: ```text your-project/ ├── ... ├── node_modules/ │ ├── @coreui/coreui │ │ ├── scss │ │ └── ... │ └── @coreui/angular │ └── ... ├── src │ └── scss │ ├── _custom.scss │ ├── ... │ ├── _variables.scss │ └── styles.scss └── ... ``` If you've downloaded our source files and aren't using a package manager, you'll want to manually create something similar to that structure, keeping CoreUI source files separate from your own. ``` your-project/ ├── scss │ └── custom.scss └── @coreui/coreui/ ├── js └── scss ```
## Importing In your `custom.scss`, you'll import CoreUI source Sass files. You have two options: include all of CoreUI, or pick the parts you need. We encourage the latter, though be aware there are some requirements and dependencies across our components. You also will need to include some JavaScript for our plugins. ```scss // Custom.scss // Option A: Include all of CoreUI @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/coreui"; // Then add additional custom code here ``` ```scss // Custom.scss // Option B: Include parts of CoreUI // 1. Include functions first (so you can manipulate colors, SVGs, calc, etc) @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/functions"; // 2. Include any default variable overrides here // 3. Include remainder of required CoreUI stylesheets @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/variables"; // 4. Include any default map overrides here // 5. Include remainder of required parts @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/maps"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/mixins"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/root"; // 6. Optionally include any other parts as needed @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/utilities"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/reboot"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/type"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/images"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/containers"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/grid"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/helpers"; // 7. Optionally include utilities API last to generate classes based on the Sass map in `_utilities.scss` @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/utilities/api"; // 8. Add additional custom code here ```
With that setup in place, you can begin to modify any of the Sass variables and maps in your `custom.scss`. You can also start to add parts of CoreUI for Bootstrap under the `Optional` section as needed. We suggest using the full import stack from our `coreui.scss` file as your starting point.
## Variable defaults Every Sass variable in CoreUI for Bootstrap includes the `!default` flag allowing you to override the variable's default value in your own Sass without modifying CoreUI's source code. Copy and paste variables as needed, modify their values, and remove the `!default` flag. If a variable has already been assigned, then it won't be re-assigned by the default values in Bootstrap. You will find the complete list of CoreUI's variables in `@coreui/coreui/scss/_variables.scss`. Some variables are set to `null`, these variables don't output the property unless they are overridden in your configuration. Variable overrides must come after our functions are imported, but before the rest of the imports. Here's an example that changes the `background-color` and `color` for the `body` when importing and compiling CoreUI for Bootstrap via npm: ```scss // Required @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/functions"; // Default variable overrides $body-bg: #000; $body-color: #111; // Required @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/variables"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/maps"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/mixins"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/root"; // Optional CoreUI components here @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/reboot"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/type"; // etc ``` Repeat as necessary for any variable in CoreUI, including the global options below.
## Maps and loops CoreUI for Bootstrap includes a handful of Sass maps, key value pairs that make it easier to generate families of related CSS. We use Sass maps for our colors, grid breakpoints, and more. Just like Sass variables, all Sass maps include the `!default` flag and can be overridden and extended. Some of our Sass maps are merged into empty ones by default. This is done to allow easy expansion of a given Sass map, but comes at the cost of making _removing_ items from a map slightly more difficult.
### Modify map All variables in the `$theme-colors` map are defined as standalone variables. To modify an existing color in our `$theme-colors` map, add the following to your custom Sass file: ```scss $primary: #0074d9; $danger: #ff4136; ``` Later on, these variables are set in CoreUI's `$theme-colors` map: ```scss $theme-colors: ( "primary": $primary, "danger": $danger ); ```
### Add to map Add new colors to `$theme-colors`, or any other map, by creating a new Sass map with your custom values and merging it with the original map. In this case, we'll create a new `$custom-colors` map and merge it with `$theme-colors`. ```scss // Create your own map $custom-colors: ( "custom-color": #900 ); // Merge the maps $theme-colors: map-merge($theme-colors, $custom-colors); ```
### Remove from map To remove colors from `$theme-colors`, or any other map, use `map-remove`. Be aware you must insert it between our requirements and options: ```scss // Required @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/functions"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/variables"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/maps"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/mixins"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/root"; $theme-colors: map-remove($theme-colors, "info", "light", "dark"); // Optional @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/reboot"; @import "../node_modules/@coreui/coreui/scss/type"; // etc ```
## Required keys CoreUI for Bootstrap assumes the presence of some specific keys within Sass maps as we used and extend these ourselves. As you customize the included maps, you may encounter errors where a specific Sass map's key is being used. For example, we use the `primary`, `success`, and `danger` keys from `$theme-colors` for links, buttons, and form states. Replacing the values of these keys should present no issues, but removing them may cause Sass compilation issues. In these instances, you'll need to modify the Sass code that makes use of those values.
## Functions

### Escape SVG We use the `escape-svg` function to escape the `<`, `>` and `#` characters for SVG background images. When using the `escape-svg` function, data URIs must be quoted.
