Primefaces Theme development

Overview of this book

Developing stunning themes for web applications has never been easier! PrimeFaces delivers a powerful set of features that enables JSF developers to create and customize awesome themes on the web. It is very easy to use because it comes as a single JAR file and requires no mandatory XML configuration. With more than 30 out-of-the-box themes, jQuery integration, a mobile UI toolkit, Ajax Push technology, and much more, PrimeFaces takes JSF application development to a whole new level! This book is a hands-on example-rich guide to creating and customizing PrimeFaces themes using available tools. Beginning with creating a JSF project and integrating the PrimeFaces library, this book will introduce you to the features of theme components, how these are structured, and how PrimeFaces uses JQuery UI to apply a theme to your application. You will learn to examine and change the CSS rules and get creative by setting standard icons and adding new icons to them. You will use a combination of JavaScript and CSS to enhance your application with help of scheduler component and go on to adapt and package your custom theme so that it is compatible with the Resource Manager. Finally, you will explore PrimeFaces mobile apps, ensuring themes are compatible with your mobile applications best practices for theme design.

Summary

Well done. You made it to the end of the first chapter with a working project and learned the repeatable steps that are required to create any PrimeFaces JSF web project using Maven.

In this chapter, we have successfully created a NetBeans Maven web project using the new project wizard, added the JSF framework to the project by adjusting the Project Properties, added the PrimeFaces component library as a dependency using Maven, added additional libraries as dependencies using Maven, and finally ran the project in GlassFish and viewed the start page of the application in a browser.

These steps are always the first steps that we need to take when creating a new PrimeFaces and JSF-based web application. Because of this, I felt that it's important that the first chapter of this book is devoted to this rather than the more fun things that we will be getting into later in the book.
