## Components

#### Reminder!

AdminLTE uses all of Bootstrap 3 components. It's a good start to review the Bootstrap documentation to get an idea of the various components that this documentation does not cover.

#### Tip!

If you go through the example pages and would like to copy a component, right-click on the component and choose "inspect element" to get to the HTML quicker than scanning the HTML page.

### Main Header

The main header contains the logo and navbar. Construction of the navbar differs slightly from Bootstrap because it has components that Bootstrap doesn't provide. The navbar can be constructed in two way. This an example for the normal navbar and next we will provide an example for the top nav layout.

Main Header Example
AdminLTE

    <header class="main-header">
      <a href="../../index2.html" class="logo">
        <!-- LOGO -->
        AdminLTE
      </a>
      <!-- Header Navbar: style can be found in header.less -->
      <nav class="navbar navbar-static-top" role="navigation">
        <!-- Navbar Right Menu -->

#### Top Nav Layout. Main Header Example.

#### Reminder!

To use this main header instead of the regular one, you must add the `layout-top-nav` class to the body tag.

Top Nav Example

    <header class="main-header">
      <nav class="navbar navbar-static-top">
        <div class="container-fluid">
        <div class="navbar-header">

### Sidebar

The sidebar used in this page to the left provides an example of what your sidebar should like. Construction of a sidebar:

    <div class="main-sidebar">
      <!-- Inner sidebar -->
      <div class="sidebar">
        <!-- user panel (Optional) -->
        <div class="user-panel">
          <div class="pull-left image">
            <img src="dist/img/user2-160x160.jpg" class="img-circle" alt="User Image">
          </div>
          <div class="pull-left info">
            <p>User Name</p>

            <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-circle text-success"></i> Online</a>
          </div>
        </div><!-- /.user-panel -->

        <!-- Search Form (Optional) -->
        <form action="#" method="get" class="sidebar-form">
          <div class="input-group">
            <input type="text" name="q" class="form-control" placeholder="Search...">
            <span class="input-group-btn">
              <button type="submit" name="search" id="search-btn" class="btn btn-flat"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
            </span>
          </div>
        </form><!-- /.sidebar-form -->

        <!-- Sidebar Menu -->
        <ul class="sidebar-menu">
          <li class="header">HEADER</li>
          <!-- Optionally, you can add icons to the links -->
          <li class="active"><a href="#"><span>Link</span></a><</li>
          <li><a href="#"><span>Another Link</span></a></li>
          <li class="treeview">
            <a href="#"><span>Multilevel</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i></a>
            <ul class="treeview-menu">
              <li><a href="#">Link in level 2</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Link in level 2</a></li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul><!-- /.sidebar-menu -->

      </div><!-- /.sidebar -->
    </div><!-- /.main-sidebar -->

### Control Sidebar

Control sidebar is the right side bar. It can be used for many purposes and is extremely easy to create. The sidebar ships with two different show/hide styles. The first allows the sidebar to slide over the content. The second pushes the content to make space for the sidebar. Either of these methods can be set through the Javascript options.

The following code should be placed within the `.wrapper` div. I prefer to place it right after the footer.

Dark Sidebar Markup

    <!-- The Right Sidebar -->
    <aside class="control-sidebar control-sidebar-dark">
      <!-- Content of the sidebar goes here -->
    </aside>
    <!-- The sidebar's background -->
    <!-- This div must placed right after the sidebar for it to work-->
    <div class="control-sidebar-bg"></div>

Light Sidebar Markup

    <!-- The Right Sidebar -->
    <aside class="control-sidebar control-sidebar-light">
      <!-- Content of the sidebar goes here -->
    </aside>
    <!-- The sidebar's background -->
    <!-- This div must placed right after the sidebar for it to work-->
    <div class="control-sidebar-bg"></div>

Once you create the sidebar, you will need a toggle button to open/close it. By adding the attribute `data-toggle="control-sidebar"` to any button, it will automatically act as the toggle button.

Toggle Button Example

Sidebar Toggle Markup

    <button class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="control-sidebar">Toggle Right Sidebar</button>

### Info Box

Info boxes are used to display statistical snippets. There are two types of info boxes.

#### First Type of Info Boxes

Messages 1,410
Bookmarks 410
Uploads 13,648
Likes 93,139

Markup

    <div class="info-box">
      <!-- Apply any bg-* class to to the icon to color it -->
      <span class="info-box-icon bg-red"><i class="fa fa-star-o"></i></span>
      <div class="info-box-content">
        <span class="info-box-text">Likes</span>
        <span class="info-box-number">93,139</span>
      </div><!-- /.info-box-content -->
    </div><!-- /.info-box -->

#### Second Type of Info Boxes

Bookmarks 41,410
70% Increase in 30 Days
Likes 41,410
70% Increase in 30 Days
Events 41,410
70% Increase in 30 Days
Comments 41,410
70% Increase in 30 Days

Markup

    <!-- Apply any bg-* class to to the info-box to color it -->
    <div class="info-box bg-red">
      <span class="info-box-icon"><i class="fa fa-comments-o"></i></span>
      <div class="info-box-content">
        <span class="info-box-text">Likes</span>
        <span class="info-box-number">41,410</span>
        <!-- The progress section is optional -->
        <div class="progress">
          <div class="progress-bar" style="width: 70%"></div>
        </div>
        <span class="progress-description">
          70% Increase in 30 Days
        </span>
      </div><!-- /.info-box-content -->
    </div><!-- /.info-box -->

The only thing you need to change to alternate between these style is change the placement of the bg-* class. For the first style apply any bg-* class to the icon itself. For the other style, apply the bg-* class to the info-box div.

    <div class="box box-default collapsed-box">
      <div class="box-header with-border">
        <h3 class="box-title">Expandable</h3>
        <div class="box-tools pull-right">
          <button class="btn btn-box-tool" data-widget="collapse"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i></button>
        </div><!-- /.box-tools -->
      </div><!-- /.box-header -->
      <div class="box-body">
        The body of the box
      </div><!-- /.box-body -->
    </div><!-- /.box -->

We can also add labels, badges, pagination, tooltips, inputs and many more in the box tools. A few examples:

### Labels

Some Label
The body of the box

    <div class="box box-default">
      <div class="box-header with-border">
        <h3 class="box-title">Labels</h3>
        <div class="box-tools pull-right">
          <span class="label label-default">8 New Messages</span>
        </div><!-- /.box-tools -->
      </div><!-- /.box-header -->
      <div class="box-body">
        The body of the box
      </div><!-- /.box-body -->
    </div><!-- /.box -->

### Input

The body of the box

    <div class="box box-default">
      <div class="box-header with-border">
        <h3 class="box-title">Input</h3>
        <div class="box-tools pull-right">
          <div class="has-feedback">
            <input type="text" class="form-control input-sm" placeholder="Search...">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search form-control-feedback"></span>
          </div>
        </div><!-- /.box-tools -->
      </div><!-- /.box-header -->
      <div class="box-body">
        The body of the box
      </div><!-- /.box-body -->
    </div><!-- /.box -->

### Tootips on buttons

The body of the box

    <div class="box box-default">
      <div class="box-header with-border">
        <h3 class="box-title">Tooltips on buttons</h3>
        <div class="box-tools pull-right">
          <button class="btn btn-box-tool" data-widget="collapse" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Collapse"><i class="fa fa-minus"></i></button>
          <button class="btn btn-box-tool" data-widget="remove" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Remove"><i class="fa fa-times"></i></button>
        </div><!-- /.box-tools -->
      </div><!-- /.box-header -->
      <div class="box-body">
        The body of the box
      </div><!-- /.box-body -->
    </div><!-- /.box -->

If you inserted a box into the document after `app.js` was loaded, you have to activate the collapse/remove buttons explicitly by calling `.activateBox()`:

    <script>
        $("#box-widget").activateBox();
    </script>

#### Loading States

### Loading state

The body of the box

### Loading state (.box-solid)

The body of the box

To simulate a loading state, simply place this code before the `.box` closing tag.

    <div class="overlay">
      <i class="fa fa-refresh fa-spin"></i>
    </div>

### Direct Chat

The direct chat widget extends the box component to create a beautiful chat interface. This widget consists of a required messages pane and an optional contacts pane. Examples:

Of course you can use direct chat with a solid box by adding the class `solid-box` to the box. Here are a couple of examples:
