**django CMS Frontend** is a plugin bundle which builds on and improves
the architecture of `djangocms-bootstrap4 <https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-bootstrap4>`_.
Its objective is to provide a set of popular frontend components independent of the
currently used frontend framework such as Bootstrap, or its specific version.

Key features
============
- Support of `Bootstrap 5 <https://getbootstrap.com>`_, django CMS 3.8+
and the new upcoming major django CMS 4.
- **Separation of plugins from css framework**, i.e. no need to
rebuild you site's plugin tree if css framework is changed in the
future, e.g. from Bootstrap 5 to a future version.
- **New link plugin** allowing to link to internal pages provided by
other applications, such as `djangocms-blog
<https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog>`_.
- **Nice and well-arranged admin frontend** of `djangocms-bootstrap4
<https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-bootstrap4>`_
- A management command to **migrate from djangocms-bootstrap4**. This
command automatically migrates all ``djangocms-bootstrap4`` plugins to
``djangocms-frontend``.
- **Extensible** within the project and with separate project (e.g. a
theme app)
Description
===========
The plugins are framework agnostic and the framework can be changed by
adapting your project's settings. Also, it is designed to avoid having
to rebuild your CMS plugin tree when upgrading e.g. from one version of
your frontend framework to the next.
django CMS Frontend uses `django-entangled
<https://github.com/jrief/django-entangled>`_ by Jacob Rief to avoid
bloating your project's database with css framework-dependent tables.
Instead all design parameters are stored in a common JSON field and
future releases of improved frontend features will not require to
rebuild your full plugin tree.
The link plugin has been rewritten to not only allow internal links to other
CMS pages, but also to other django models such as, e.g., posts of
`djangocms-blog <https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog>`_.
