Console

The Console is the DreamFactory Enterprise management system, which can be used to setup servers, clusters, instances, users etc.

The Console UI is build with Blades, which is Laravel’s templating engine. The UI consists of five blades:

• Main (main.blade.php)
• Top Navbar (navbar.blade.php)
• Top Menu (topmenu.blade.php)
• Content Blade
• Sidebar Menu (sidebar-menu.blade.php)

The main blade (main.blade.php) is the main page file with HTML headers, includes and placeholders for the top navigation and content. The top navigation has a dropdown menu for easy user account access and for Console logout.

The content section is the blade specific to the selected page (e.g. Home, home.blade.php), and it has placeholders for the main (top) menu blade (topmenu.blade.php), the side menu blade (sidebar-menu.blade.php) and the page’s HTML.

The top menu and side menu are static, but have awareness of selected top/side menu, and highlights the selected menus.
