Preface
Goal: Reponsive column for index and colors in content with Nunjucks Layout.
Source Code
This article use tutor-07 theme for colors, and additionaly tutor-08 theme for multiline responsive content. We will create it step by step.
1: Colors: Blog Index
How about content?
Previously, we have manage color for parent layout.
Page Content: Nunjucks: pages/blog
It is simply by reading the color variable set in pages,
either in frontmatter or in body content, or both.
---
...
color : lime
---
{% set color = 'pink' %}
{% include "index/blog-list.njk" %}We are going to see what is going to happend if we set color, in both frontmatter and body content.
Partial: Nunjucks: Blog List
Consider, move the page content to layout as below.
{% set color = color or 'brown' %}
..
<strong><a class="meta_link {{ color }}-text text-darken-3"
href="{{ post.url | url }}">{{ post.data.title }}
</strong></a>
{% include "index/blog-each-meta.njk" %}
...
<div class="read-more is-light">
<a href="{{ post.url | url }}"
class="button is-dark is-small {{ color }} z-depth-1 hoverable"
>Read More </a>
</div>
..Where the color is defined in content page.
Partial: Nunjucks: Each Meta
Each meta can be represent as nunjucks template below:
...
{%- for tag in post.data.tags -%}
{%- set tagUrl %}/tags/{{ tag }}/{% endset -%}
<a class="tag is-small is-dark {{ color }} z-depth-1 hoverable"
href="{{ tagUrl | url }}"
>{{ tag }} <span class="fa fa-folder"></span>
</a>
{%- endfor -%}
...Where the color has already set in blog-list layout.
Render: Browser
Now you can see the result in your favorite browser.
This page has lime color in frame, and pink color in content.
But why?
How does it works?
In frame layout,
it simply read pink from the frontmatter.
and omit default brown value in layout/blog.njk.
In content,
it is also read pink from the frontmatter,
but get reassign to lime in content body.
Thus, also omit default brown value in index/blog-list.njk.
2: Colors: Other Index
For other index page you can write similarly.
I am intentionally, not giving complete codes, because I’m going to alter code in responsive section, later in this article.
Partial: Nunjucks: By Year
There is no default color here, just {{ color }}.
This means, setting color in page is mandatory.
I am intentionally, not giving complete codes, because I’m going to alter code in responsive section, later in this article.
...
<div class="widget-header {{ color }} lighten-4">
<div class ="anchor-target archive-year"
id="{{ year }}">{{ year }}</div>
</div>
...If you want your code to be safe, you can add default color.
{% set color = color or 'blue' %}I think it is better to have safer code. This example mean to be just an example.
Partial: Nunjucks: By Month
There is also, no default color here, just {{ color }}.
Therefore, setting color in page is mandatory.
I am intentionally, not giving complete codes, because I’m going to alter code in responsive section, later in this article.
...
<div class="widget white z-depth-1 hoverable m-b-10">
<div class="widget-header {{ color }} lighten-4">
<div class ="archive-month"
id="{{ year }}-{{ month }}">
{{ postsInMonth[0].monthtext }}</div>
</div>
...Again, if you want your code to be safe, you can add default color.
{% set color = color or 'blue' %}I think it is better to have safer code. This example mean to be just an example.
Partial: Nunjucks: Tags Badge
This below is a complete code.
{% set color = color or 'blue' %}
<div class="field is-grouped is-grouped-multiline">
{%- for tag in collections.tagList -%}
{%- set postsList = collections[ tag ] -%}
{%- set listCount = postsList.length -%}
{%- set tagUrl %}/tags/{{ tag | slug }}/{% endset -%}
{% if listCount %}
<div class="tags has-addons">
<a href="{{ tagUrl | url }}">
<div class="tag is-light {{ color }} lighten-2 z-depth-1"
>{{ tag }}
</div><div class="tag is-dark {{ color }} darken-2 z-depth-1"
>{{ listCount }}
</div>
</a>
</div>
{% endif %}
{%- endfor -%}
<div class="tags dummy"></div>
</div>Partial: Nunjucks: Tags Tree
I am intentionally, not giving complete codes, because I’m going to alter code in responsive section, later in this article.
{% set color = color or 'blue' %}
...
<div class="widget-header {{ color }} lighten-4">
<div id="{{ tag | slug }}" class ="anchor-target">
<span class="fa fa-tag"></span>
{{ tag }}
</div>
</div>
...3: Responsive: Index
Consider fast forward to tutor-08 theme for multiline responsive content. We need to fast forward, because we need to see the difference.
In Bulma, there is a is-multiline class,
that enable each box to flow downward if the page width is not enough.
The later image will explain better, than explaining by word.
General Preview
Our base layout is based on responsive design. This below is general preview of, what responsive content that we want to achieve.
Source image is available in inkscape SVG format, so you can modify, and make your own preview quickly.
Just keep in mind that, responsive content is different with responsive page. The responsive content is placed inside a responsive page.
Using Multiline Class
Consider this code below:
<div class="columns is-multiline p-y-5" id="archive">
{%- for year, postsInYear in groupByYear -%}
<section class="column is-full-mobile
is-half-tablet is-one-third-widescreen">
...
</section>
{%- endfor -%}
</div>This code has:
-
One Column in mobile screen: Full.
-
Two Columns in tablet screen: Half.
-
Three Columns in tablet screen: One Third.
You can make your own arrangement.
Partial: Nunjucks: By Year
{%- set posts = posts | mapdate -%}
{%- set groupByYear = posts | groupBy('year') | dictsort | reverse -%}
<div class="columns is-multiline p-y-5" id="archive">
{%- for year, postsInYear in groupByYear -%}
<section class="column is-full-mobile
is-half-tablet is-one-third-widescreen">
<div class="widget white z-depth-1 hoverable m-b-10">
<div class="widget-header {{ color }} lighten-4">
<div class ="anchor-target archive-year"
id="{{ year }}">{{ year }}</div>
</div>
<div class="widget-body">
<div class="archive-list p-y-5">
{%- for post in postsInYear | sort(false, true, 'month') -%}
{% include "index/each-post.njk" %}
{%- endfor -%}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
{%- endfor -%}
</div>
Change: Nunjucks: By Year
I simply change the section.
<div id="archive">
{%- for year, postsInYear in groupByYear -%}
<section>
...
</section>
{%- endfor -%}
</div>Into this box frame layout below:
<div class="columns is-multiline p-y-5" id="archive">
{%- for year, postsInYear in groupByYear -%}
<section class="column is-full-mobile
is-half-tablet is-one-third-widescreen">
...
</section>
{%- endfor -%}
</div>Partial: Nunjucks: By Month
{%- set posts = posts | mapdate -%}
{%- set groupByYear = posts | groupBy('year') | dictsort | reverse -%}
{%- for year, postsInYear in groupByYear -%}
<div id="archive">
<div>
<div class ="anchor-target archive-year p-b-5"
id="{{ year }}">
{%- if year == (metadata.now | date("Y")) -%}
<strong>This year's posts ({{ year }})</strong>
{%- else -%}
<strong>{{ year }}</strong>
{%- endif -%}
</div>
{%- set groupByMonth = postsInYear | groupBy('month') -%}
{%- set groupByMonth = groupByMonth | dictsort | reverse -%}
<div class="columns is-multiline p-y-5">
{%- for month, postsInMonth in groupByMonth -%}
<section class="column is-full-mobile
is-half-tablet is-one-third-widescreen">
<div class="widget white z-depth-1 hoverable m-b-10">
<div class="widget-header {{ color }} lighten-4">
<div class ="archive-month"
id="{{ year }}-{{ month }}">
{{ postsInMonth[0].monthtext }}</div>
</div>
<div class="widget-body">
<div class="archive-list">
{%- for post in postsInMonth | sort(false, true, 'month') -%}
{% include "index/each-post.njk" %}
{%- endfor -%}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
{%- endfor -%}
</div>
</div>
{%- endfor -%}
</div>
Change: Nunjucks: By Month
This is a little bit complex.
<div id="archive">
...
{%- for month, postsInMonth in groupByMonth -%}
<section class="p-y-5">
...
</section>
{%- endfor -%}
...
</div>Into this box frame layout below:
<div id="archive">
...
<div class="columns is-multiline p-y-5">
{%- for month, postsInMonth in groupByMonth -%}
<section class="column is-full-mobile
is-half-tablet is-one-third-widescreen">
...
</section>
{%- endfor -%}
...
</div>Partial: Nunjucks: Tags Tree
{% set color = color or 'blue' %}
<section class="columns is-multiline p-y-5" id="archive">
{% for tag in collections.tagList %}
<div class="column is-full-mobile
is-half-tablet is-one-third-widescreen">
{%- set postsList = collections[ tag ] -%}
<div class="widget white z-depth-1 hoverable m-b-10">
<div class="widget-header {{ color }} lighten-4">
<div id="{{ tag | slug }}" class ="anchor-target">
<span class="fa fa-tag"></span>
{{ tag }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="widget-body">
<div class="archive-list p-y-5">
{%- for post in postsList -%}
{% include "index/each-post.njk" %}
{%- endfor -%}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{%- endfor -%}
</section>Change: Nunjucks: Tags Tree
This is also need carefully carved.
{% set color = color or 'blue' %}
<section class="p-y-5" id="archive">
{% for tag in collections.tagList %}
{%- set postsList = collections[ tag ] -%}
...
{%- endfor -%}
</section>Into this box frame layout below:
{% set color = color or 'blue' %}
<section class="columns is-multiline p-y-5" id="archive">
{% for tag in collections.tagList %}
<div class="column is-full-mobile
is-half-tablet is-one-third-widescreen">
{%- set postsList = collections[ tag ] -%}
...
</div>
{%- endfor -%}
</section>Responsive Tags
You can also examine in figure below, how the each screen suit this multiline layout:
- Mobile (Full): One Column
- Tablet (Half): Two Columns
- Wide Screen (One Third): Three Columns
