Framework7 Installation

Download Framework7

There are two ways to download Framework7:

Download from Framework7 Github Repository:

Or you can install Framework7 via bower:

Download Framework7 Library from CDNs

A CDN or Content Delivery Network is a network of servers designed to serve files to users. If you use a CDN link in your web page, it moves the responsibility of hosting files from your own servers to a series of external ones. This also offers an advantage that if a visitor to your webpage has already downloaded a copy of Framework7 from the same CDN, it won't have to be re-downloaded. You can include the following CDN files into the HTML document.

CDN for iOS App layout:

<link rel = "stylesheet" 
href = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.min.css" />

Framework7 iOS CSS Library:

<link rel = "stylesheet" 
href = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.colors.min.css" />

CDNs for Android/Material App Layout:

<script src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/js/framework7.min.js"></script>

Framework7 JS library:

<script src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.material.min.css"></script>

Ampps Server

We use AMPPS (AMPPS is a WAMP, MAMP and LAMP stack of Apache, MySQL, MongoDB, PHP, Perl & Python) server to execute all our examples.

In the downloaded/installed package we need files from the dist/ folder.

Dist folder path:

Bydefault dist/ folder path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\dist

Put your HTML, .JS and CSS files in your server root folder (dist folder), open local host and then run the page.

Example:

Create an HTML page "framework7_environment.html", having the following code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   
   <head>
      <meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width, initial-scale = 1, 
         maximum-scale = 1, minimum-scale = 1, user-scalable = no, minimal-ui" />
      <meta name = "apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content = "yes" />
      <meta name = "apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content = "black" />
      <title>My App</title>
      <link rel = "stylesheet" 
         href = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.min.css" />
      <link rel = "stylesheet" 
         href = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/css/framework7.ios.colors.min.css" />
   </head>
   
   <body>
      //you can control the background color of the Status bar
      <div class = "statusbar-overlay"></div>
      <div class = "panel-overlay"></div>
      
      <div class = "panel panel-right panel-reveal">
         <div class = "content-block">

                     </a>
                  </div>
               </div>
            </div>
            
            <div class = "pages navbar-through toolbar-through">
               <div data-page = "index" class = "page">
                  <div class = "page-content">

                     <div class = "list-block">
                        <ul>
                           <li>

                                       <div class = "item-title">Blog</div>
                                    </div>
                                 </div>
                              </a>

            <div class = "toolbar">
               <div class = "toolbar-inner">
                  <a href = "#" class = "link">First Link</a>
                  <a href = "#" class = "link">Second Link</a>

      <script type = "text/javascript" 
         src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/framework7/1.4.2/js/framework7.min.js"></script>
      
      <script>
         // here initialize the app
         var myApp = new Framework7();

         // If your using custom DOM library, then save it to $$ variable
         var $$ = Dom7;

         // Add the view
         var mainView = myApp.addView('.view-main', {
            
            // enable the dynamic navbar for this view:
            dynamicNavbar: true
         });

         //use the 'pageInit' event handler for all pages
         $$(document).on('pageInit', function (e) {
         
            //get page data from event data
            var page = e.detail.page;

            if (page.name === 'blog') {
            
               // you will get below message in alert box when page with data-page attribute is equal to "about"
               myApp.alert('Here its your About page');
            }
         })
      </script>
   </body>

</html>

Create another HTML page "envirmnt_about.html", having the following code:

.
<div class = "navbar">
   <div class = "navbar-inner">
      <div class = "left">
         <a href = "#" class = "back link">
            <i class = "icon icon-back"></i>
            <span>Back</span>
         </a>
      </div>
      
      <div class = "center sliding">My Blog</div>
      <div class = "right">
         <a href = "#" class = "link icon-only open-panel">
            <i class = "icon icon-bars"></i>
         </a>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

<div class = "pages">
   <div data-page = "blog" class = "page">
      <div class = "page-content">
         <div class = "content-block">
            <h2>My Blog</h2>
            <p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. 
			Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, 
			when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.</p>
         </div>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

Save the above both pages in dist folder. Now open server: http://localhost/dist/ and run the example.
