Using the AdminLTE Theme with the ABP Framework MVC / Razor Pages UI

This article shows step by step how to use the AdminLTE Theme for ABP Framework MVC / Razor Page UI applications.

First, let's install the ABP CLI tool using the command below.

dotnet tool install -g Volo.Abp.Cli

If it's already installed, you can update it with the following command:

dotnet tool update -g Volo.Abp.Cli

Let's create a sample new project to apply the theme:

abp new AbpThemeAdminLte

Let's create a theme folder for the theme project in the project main directory and go to the theme directory on the command line:

mkdir theme
cd theme

Let's get the AdminLTE theme module project for ABP via git:

git clone https://github.com/mucahiddanis/Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.AdminLTE.git

Go back to the project main directory:

cd ..
cd ..

Let's add the AdminLTE theme project to the sln file:

dotnet sln add theme/Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.AdminLTE/Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.AdminLTE.csproj

Let's reference the AdminLTE theme project in our AbpThemeAdminLte.Web project:

<ProjectReference Include="..\..\theme\Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.AdminLTE\Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.AdminLTE.csproj" />

Configure our theme in the AbpThemeAdminLte.Web.AbpThemeAdminLteWebModule.cs web module:

[DependsOn(
        typeof(AbpThemeAdminLteHttpApiModule),
        typeof(AbpThemeAdminLteApplicationModule),
        typeof(AbpThemeAdminLteEntityFrameworkCoreDbMigrationsModule),
        typeof(AbpAutofacModule),
        typeof(AbpIdentityWebModule),
        typeof(AbpAccountWebIdentityServerModule),
        typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiBasicThemeModule),
        typeof(AbpAspNetCoreAuthenticationJwtBearerModule),
        typeof(AbpTenantManagementWebModule),
        typeof(AbpAspNetCoreSerilogModule)
        )]
    public class AbpThemeAdminLteWebModule : AbpModule
typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiBasicThemeModule),

Let's add the following code below the code above:

typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiAdminLTEThemeModule),

Add using to reference theme project

using Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.AdminLTE;

The DependsOn list should finally be:

[DependsOn(
        typeof(AbpThemeAdminLteHttpApiModule),
        typeof(AbpThemeAdminLteApplicationModule),
        typeof(AbpThemeAdminLteEntityFrameworkCoreDbMigrationsModule),
        typeof(AbpAutofacModule),
        typeof(AbpIdentityWebModule),
        typeof(AbpAccountWebIdentityServerModule),
        typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiBasicThemeModule),
        typeof(AbpAspNetCoreMvcUiAdminLTEThemeModule),
        typeof(AbpAspNetCoreAuthenticationJwtBearerModule),
        typeof(AbpTenantManagementWebModule),
        typeof(AbpAspNetCoreSerilogModule)
        )]
    public class AbpThemeAdminLteWebModule : AbpModule

Let's set VirtualFileSystem for the source files of AdminLTE theme such as css, js, image. For this, AbpThemeAdminLte.Web.AbpThemeAdminLteWebModule.cs in the file. Let's add to the ConfigureVirtualFileSystem method:

private void ConfigureVirtualFileSystem(IWebHostEnvironment hostingEnvironment)
        {
            if (hostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment())
            {
                Configure<AbpVirtualFileSystemOptions>(options =>
                {
                    options.FileSets.ReplaceEmbeddedByPhysical<AbpThemeAdminLteDomainSharedModule>(Path.Combine(hostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath, $"..{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}AbpThemeAdminLte.Domain.Shared"));
                    options.FileSets.ReplaceEmbeddedByPhysical<AbpThemeAdminLteDomainModule>(Path.Combine(hostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath, $"..{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}AbpThemeAdminLte.Domain"));
                    options.FileSets.ReplaceEmbeddedByPhysical<AbpThemeAdminLteApplicationContractsModule>(Path.Combine(hostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath, $"..{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}AbpThemeAdminLte.Application.Contracts"));
                    options.FileSets.ReplaceEmbeddedByPhysical<AbpThemeAdminLteApplicationModule>(Path.Combine(hostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath, $"..{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}AbpThemeAdminLte.Application"));
                    options.FileSets.ReplaceEmbeddedByPhysical<AbpThemeAdminLteWebModule>(hostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath);

                    // AdminLTE teması
                    options.FileSets.ReplaceEmbeddedByPhysical<AbpThemeAdminLteApplicationModule>(Path.Combine(hostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath, $"..{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}..{Path.DirectorySeparatorChar}Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Theme.AdminLTE"));
                });
            }
        }

Let's Build the project.

Let's run the AbpThemeAdminLte.DbMigrator and AbpThemeAdminLte.Web project.
