README

Allows the declaration of a theme’s parent, much like Wordpress. Only support Twig templates for now.

By default, Bolt configures Twig to load files from your theme, but if not found, it will look in app/theme_defaults. This is done using Twig’s feature of having a twig.path.

Normally, your Twig path will look like this:

 - /PATH/theme/THEME
 - /PATH/app/theme_defaults

With this extension, it will look like this:

 - /PATH/theme/THEME
 - /PATH/theme/PARENT_THEME
 - /PATH/theme/PARENT_PARENT_THEME
 - /PATH/app/theme_defaults

Important details

  1. The parent theme’s config will also be merged without overwriting the child’s.
  2. The parent theme can have a parent of its own.
  3. As of now, there is no way of managing assets (CSS/JS/images). Perhaps in a future version.

Usage

In your theme, simply declare its parent by adding this to your config.yml:

parent: PARENT_THEME
