## Quick Start Guide

To get started with `drf-restwind`, follow these steps:

1. **Install the package**:

   ```bash
   pip install drf-restwind
   ```

2. **Update `INSTALLED_APPS`**:

   Modify `project/settings.py` as follows:

   ```python
   # Application definition
   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # Add rest_wind to INSTALLED_APPS
       "rest_wind",
       "rest_framework",
       ...
   ]
   ```

## Customization Guides

To customize `drf-restwind`, follow these steps:

1. **Add Required Templates**:

   In your app's templates directory, create a folder named `rest_framework` and
   add a file called `api.html`:

   ```bash
   mkdir app/templates/rest_framework
   touch app/templates/rest_framework/api.html
   ```

2. **Populate Your Template**:

   In `api.html`, include the following line:

   ```html
   {% extends 'rest_framework/base.html' %}
   ```

3. **Add your `app` to `INSTALLED_APPS`**

   In `project/settings.py`:

   ```python
   # Application definition
   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # Add your app
       "app",
       "rest_wind",
       "rest_framework",
       ...
   ]
   ```

Now you can proceed with the following customization guides.

### Customizing the Brand and Adding Links

To change the brand name and add custom links, modify your `api.html`:

```html
{% extends 'rest_framework/base.html' %}{% load i18n %}

{% block title %}{% trans 'YOUR_BRAND' %}{% endblock %}

<!-- Branding -->
{% block branding %}
<li
  class="tooltip tooltip-right tooltip-primary rtl:tooltip-left"
  data-tip="{% trans 'YOUR_BRAND' %}"
>
  <a
    href="https://your.domain.com/"
    class="btn btn-sm btn-square btn-ghost lg:btn-md"
  >
    <img 
      class="size-8 2xl:size-10" 
      alt="{% trans 'YOUR_BRAND' %}"
      src="{% static 'path/to/your/logo.png' %}"
    />
  </a>
</li>
{% endblock %}

<!-- Add your brand text -->
{% block drawer_branding %}
<li
  class="tooltip tooltip-right tooltip-primary rtl:tooltip-left"
  data-tip="{% trans 'YOUR_BRAND' %}"
>
  <a
    href="https://your.domain.com/"
    class="btn btn-sm btn-square btn-ghost lg:btn-md"
  >
    <img 
      class="size-8 2xl:size-10" 
      alt="{% trans 'YOUR_BRAND' %}"
      src="{% static 'path/to/your/logo.png' %}"
    />
  </a>
</li>
{% endblock %}

<!-- Add your links -->
{% block userlinks %}
<li
  class="is-drawer-close:tooltip is-drawer-close:tooltip-right rtl:is-drawer-close:tooltip-left"
  data-tip="{% trans 'Home' %}"
>
  <a href="https://your.domain.com/">
    <i data-lucide="home" class="size-4 lg:size-6"></i>
    <span class="is-drawer-close:sr-only">
      {% trans 'Home' %}
    </span>
  </a>
</li>
{% endblock %}
```

```html
<!-- rest_framework/login.html -->
{% extends 'rest_framework/login_base.html' %}

<!-- Branding -->
{% block branding %}
<li
  class="tooltip tooltip-right tooltip-primary rtl:tooltip-left"
  data-tip="{% trans 'YOUR_BRAND' %}"
>
  <a
    href="https://your.domain.com/"
    class="btn btn-sm btn-square btn-ghost lg:btn-md"
  >
    <img 
      class="size-8 2xl:size-10" 
      alt="{% trans 'YOUR_BRAND' %}"
      src="{% static 'path/to/your/logo.png' %}"
    />
  </a>
</li>
{% endblock %}
```

### Changing the Theme

You can view all available themes on [daisyUI](https://daisyui.com/) website. To
modify the theme, update your `api.html`:

```html
{% extends 'rest_framework/base.html' %}

<!-- Main theme -->
{% block theme %}luxury{% endblock %}

<!-- Light or Dark theme to toggle between -->
{% block toggle_theme %}silk{% endblock %}

<!-- Set the highlight_theme accordingly -->
{% block highlight_theme %}
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.9.0/styles/base16/github-dark.min.css"
>
{% endblock %}
```

If you want to update code highlight theme for API documentation (written in
`Markdown` in `View`'s `docstring`):

- Install `markdown` and `pygments`:

  ```console
  pip install markdown pygments
  ```

- Select a style form available [styles](https://pygments.org/styles).
- Generate the `css` file for selected styles:

  ```console
  pygmentize -S github-dark -f html > app/static/app/css/highlight.css
  ```

- Include the generated `css` file in your `api.html`:

  ```html
  {% extends 'rest_framework/base.html' %}{% load static %}

  <!-- Main theme -->
  {% block theme %}luxury{% endblock %}

  <!-- Light or Dark theme to toggle between -->
  {% block toggle_theme %}silk{% endblock %}

  <!-- Set the highlight_theme accordingly -->
  {% block highlight_theme %}
  <link
    rel="stylesheet"
    href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.9.0/styles/base16/github-dark.min.css"
  >

  <!-- Include styles -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'app/css/highlight.css' %}">
  {% endblock %}
  ```

     <!-- Add your styles -->
     {% block styles %}
     {{ block.super }}
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'app/css/styles.css' %}">
