## Background
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gitea uses [Less CSS](https://lesscss.org), [Fomantic-UI](https://fomantic-ui.com/introduction/getting-started.html) (based on [jQuery](https://api.jquery.com)) and [Vue2](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/) for its frontend.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The HTML pages are rendered by [Go HTML Template](https://pkg.go.dev/html/template)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## General Guidelines
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We recommend [Google HTML/CSS Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/htmlcssguide.html) and [Google JavaScript Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/jsguide.html)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Gitea specific guidelines:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Every feature (Fomantic-UI/jQuery module) should be put in separate files/directories.
|
||
|
|
2. HTML ids and classes should use kebab-case.
|
||
|
|
3. HTML ids and classes used in JavaScript should be unique for the whole project, and should contain 2-3 feature related keywords. We recommend to use the `js-` prefix for classes that are only used in JavaScript.
|
||
|
|
4. jQuery events across different features should use their own namespaces.
|
||
|
|
5. CSS styling for classes provided by frameworks should not be overwritten. Always use new class-names to overwrite framework styles. We recommend to use the `us-` prefix for user defined styles.
|
||
|
|
6. The backend can pass complex data to the frontend by using `ctx.PageData["myModuleData"] = map[]{}`
|
||
|
|
7. Simple pages and SEO-related pages use Go HTML Template render to generate static Fomantic-UI HTML output. Complex pages can use Vue2 (or Vue3 in future).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Legacy Problems and Solutions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Too much code in `web_src/index.js`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Previously, most JavaScript code was written into `web_src/index.js` directly, making the file unmaintainable.
|
||
|
|
Try to keep this file small by creating new modules instead. These modules can be put in the `web_src/js/features` directory for now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Vue2/Vue3 and JSX
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gitea is using Vue2 now, we plan to upgrade to Vue3. We decided not to introduce JSX to keep the HTML and the JavaScript code separated.
