Overview of this book

Bootstrap is the most popular open source project on GitHub today. With a little bit of know-how, this massively popular CSS framework can leveraged for any type of complex web application or website. Bootstrap Site Blueprints Volume II will teach you to build these types of projects in an easy-to-understand fashion. The key to any complex Bootstrap project is a strong development foundation for your project. The book will first teach you how to build a Bootstrap development environment using Harp.js, Node, and Less. In the next chapters, we’ll build on this foundation by creating restaurant and mobile-first aggregator projects. Once you’re warmed up, we’ll move on to more complex projects such as a wiki, a new magazine, a dashboard, and finally a social networking website. Whether you are brand new to Bootstrap or a seasoned expert, this book will provide you with the skills you need to successfully create a number of popular web applications and websites.

Customizing the template


As in our previous projects, let's update our Harp templates, theme, and Less files before we start with the actual pages. Make a copy of your boilerplate from chapter 1 and rename it to chapter 4 or Bootstrap Wiki. Open up the _data.json file and insert the following code into it:

{
  "index": {
    "pageTitle": "Bootstrap Wiki"
  },
  "article": {
    "pageTitle": "Article"
  },
  "search-results": {
    "pageTitle": "Search Results"
  },
  "profile": {
    "pageTitle": "Profile"
  }
}

For this project, we'll have four different page templates, so we need to create an entry for each of them. Remember that the first portion is the actual .ejs filename and the pageTitle variable is what we'll use to set the <title> of each page. Go ahead and create these four .ejs files in the root of your project directory. You can just leave them blank for now:

  • index.ejs

  • article.ejs

  • search-results.ejs

  • profile.ejs

Updating _layout.ejs

The next thing that we'll do is update...
