Framework7 Custom Build

Custom Build

Framework7 comes with Gulp builder that allows to build custom library version where you may include only required components/modules. We need the following:

  1. Download and unzip Framework7 GitHub repository to local folder

  2. Install Node.js (if not installed)

  3. Install Gulp (if not installed) by executing the following command in terminal:

    $ npm install --global gulp
  4. Now, we need to install required dependencies. Go to the folder with downloaded and unzipped Framework7 repository and execute in terminal:

    $ npm install
  5. Copy scripts/build-config.js file to some place in the downloaded folder and rename it let's say to scripts/my-config.js
  6. Open this file and remove components that you don't need or modify color theme and included colors:
    /* my-config.js */
    const config = {
      target: 'universal',
      rtl: false, // change to true to generate RTL styles
    
      // remove any components you don't need
      components: [
        'dialog',
        'popup',
        'login-screen',
        'popover',
        'actions',
        'sheet',
        'toast',
        'preloader',
        'progressbar',
        'sortable',
        'swipeout',
        'accordion',
        'contacts-list',
        'virtual-list',
        'timeline',
        'tabs',
        'panel',
        'card',
        'chip',
        'form',
        'input',
        'checkbox',
        'radio',
        'toggle',
        'range',
        'stepper',
        'smart-select',
        'grid',
        'calendar',
        'picker',
        'infinite-scroll',
        'pull-to-refresh',
        'lazy',
        'data-table',
        'fab',
        'searchbar',
        'messages',
        'messagebar',
        'swiper',
        'photo-browser',
        'notification',
        'autocomplete',
        'vi',
        'typography',
      ],
      // include/exclude dark theme styles
      darkTheme: true,
      // include/exclude themes
      themes: [
        'ios',
        'md',
      ],
      // modify colors
      ios: {
        themeColor: '#007aff',
        colors: {
          red: '#ff3b30',
          green: '#4cd964',
          blue: '#007aff',
          pink: '#ff2d55',
          yellow: '#ffcc00',
          orange: '#ff9500',
          gray: '#8e8e93',
          white: '#ffffff',
          black: '#000000',
        },
      },
      md: {
        themeColor: '#2196f3',
        colors: {
          red: '#f44336',
          green: '#4caf50',
          blue: '#2196f3',
          pink: '#e91e63',
          yellow: '#ffeb3b',
          orange: '#ff9800',
          gray: '#9e9e9e',
          white: '#ffffff',
          black: '#000000',
        },
      },
    };
    
    module.exports = config;
    
  7. Now, we are ready to build custom version of Framework7. We need to execute:

    $ npm run build:prod -- --config scripts/my-config.js --output path/to/output/folder
  8. That is all. Now you should see newly generated js and css files in specified output folder

  9. If You are in hurry and want to see how its working then do follow step no 1 to step no 4

    $ npm run build:dev

    The result is available in build/ folder.

  10. To build production version of Framework7:

    $ npm run build:prod

    Production version will be available in dist/ folder.

  11. Run Kitchen Sink with development environment
    $ npm run dev
  12. Run Kitchen Sink with Production environment
    $ npm run prod
  13. YOUR FIRST APPLICATION IS LIVE

    Visit http://localhost:3000/kitchen-sink/ From Youre Browser

ES Modules

If you use bundler like Webpack or Rollup you can use only required Framework7 JS components without that build process and by importing only required components:

// Import core framework
import Framework7 from 'framework7';

// Import additional components
import Searchbar from 'framework7/dist/components/searchbar/searchbar.js';
import Calendar from 'framework7/dist/components/calendar/calendar.js';
import Popup from 'framework7/dist/components/popup/popup.js';

// Install F7 Components using .use() method on Framework7 class:
Framework7.use([Searchbar, Calendar, Popup]);

// Init app
var app = new Framework({/*...*/});
