I want to be able to call classes in my main.css from all templates

  • 0

I want to be able to call classes in my main.css from all templates I have in Django. Currently, I have it stored in app_name/static/css/main.css. How do I link this to the templates so that I can simply add a class to an html element and have the class apply?

    I would use a base template containing all your common stuff (JQuery, main.css).

    So, you will have a template called base.html will all the basic stuff and placeholders for specific pages content:

    <html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}/css/main.css">
    {% block additional_header %}
    {% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
    {% block content %}
    {% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

    Then, your actual page will be a template with something like this:

    {% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
This is specific content for your page
{% endblock %}

    Checkout Django’s official documentation. Look for the section titled Template Inheritance.
