Installation

Install the package via NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package WebSpark.Bootswatch

Or via .NET CLI:

dotnet add package WebSpark.Bootswatch

Quick Start

1. Register Services

Add the WebSpark.Bootswatch services to your application in Program.cs:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container
builder.Services.AddRazorPages();
builder.Services.AddBootswatchStyles(); // Add Bootswatch services

var app = builder.Build();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline
if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
    app.UseHsts();
}

app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseBootswatchStaticFiles(); // Enable Bootswatch static files

app.UseRouting();
app.MapRazorPages();

app.Run();

2. Create a Theme Switcher Component

Create a partial view _ThemeSwitcher.cshtml to allow users to change themes:

@using WebSpark.Bootswatch.Model
@inject IStyleProvider StyleProvider

@{
    var styles = await StyleProvider.GetAsync();
}

<div class="dropdown">
    <button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
        Change Theme
    </button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        @foreach (var style in styles)
        {
            <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="?theme=@style.name">@style.name</a></li>
        }
    </ul>
</div>

3. Use Theme in Layout

Update your _Layout.cshtml file to use the current theme:

@using WebSpark.Bootswatch.Model
@inject IStyleProvider StyleProvider

@{
    var theme = Context.Request.Query["theme"].ToString() ?? "default";
    var currentStyle = await StyleProvider.GetAsync(theme);
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>@ViewData["Title"] - WebSpark.Bootswatch.Demo</title>
    
    
    @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(currentStyle.cssCdn))
    {
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="@currentStyle.cssCdn" />
    }
    else
    {
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
    }
    
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site.css" asp-append-version="true" />
</head>
<body>
    
    <partial name="_ThemeSwitcher" />
    
    
    @RenderBody()
    
    
    <script src="~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
    <script src="~/js/site.js" asp-append-version="true"></script>
    @await RenderSectionAsync("Scripts", required: false)
</body>
</html>

Advanced Usage

Caching Themes

For improved performance, you can implement a caching service:

public class StyleCache
{
    private readonly IStyleProvider _styleProvider;
    private readonly IMemoryCache _memoryCache;
    private const string CacheKey = "BootswatchStyles";

    public StyleCache(IStyleProvider styleProvider, IMemoryCache memoryCache)
    {
        _styleProvider = styleProvider;
        _memoryCache = memoryCache;
    }

    public async Task<IEnumerable<StyleModel>> GetStylesAsync()
    {
        if (!_memoryCache.TryGetValue(CacheKey, out IEnumerable<StyleModel> styles))
        {
            styles = await _styleProvider.GetAsync();
            _memoryCache.Set(CacheKey, styles, TimeSpan.FromHours(1));
        }
        return styles;
    }
}

Custom Theme Implementation

You can create your own theme provider by implementing the IStyleProvider interface:

public class CustomStyleProvider : IStyleProvider
{
    public Task<IEnumerable<StyleModel>> GetAsync()
    {
        // Return your custom themes
    }

    public Task<StyleModel> GetAsync(string name)
    {
        // Return a specific theme by name
    }
}
