#4 Koi - Switch between template files

Resources

Switch between template files based on Bootstrap Version

In this example, we'll assume you have a Bootstrap3 and a Bootstrap4 template in the folders bs3/_Line.cshtml and the same in bs4/_Line.cshtml. We'll use Koi to load the right template file.

You can see in the source-codes that BS3 uses pull-left and another class on the blockquote tag than BS4.

Output

You are seeing the Bootstrap5 Template

"this is pretty awesome!"

  This page is just an entry point for your code. It will do the following:
  1. Check if it can detect the CSS framework used by the theme
    - if yes, it will use that
    - otherwise it will fallback to assume it's bootstrap 4 = "bs4"
    - note that the BS4 edition has an additional check for unknown frameworks
  2. Then it will load the real cshtml-template from the matching edition-folder
