Angular frontend customization¶
Important
The customization steps described here are not fully up-to-date with the docker deployment.
To create a future-proof customization, also check notes in Example: Change favicon, add custom CSS and Google Analytics.
The frontend created using Angular framework is located at these paths:
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/staff
- staff panel
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/reseller
- reseller panel
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/enduser
- enduser panel

Adding new themes¶
Important
If you are adding or changing Fleio files, other than Fleio setting files that are stored in docker volumes, see Adding or changing files in Fleio docker images.
First, we’ll use a local environment to write the .scss custom theme and generate our .css file that we’ll deploy on production. Use the following procedure (adapt to your operating system if needed). We’ll use demo as the name for our custom theme.
apt update
apt install npm
npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new demo --style=scss # answer no to questions
cd demo
ng add @angular/material # choose CUSTOM, answer no to the next questions
Now, edit the demo/src/styles.scss
file. Remove its contents if any.
This is how our template may look:

It is enough to overwrite $demo-primary
, $demo-accent
, $demo-warn
and $demo-primary-color
variables in
order to just change the primary/secondary colors. However, you can dig further and edit the styling, positioning, etc.
of any element of the app.
You can see that for primary, accent and warn palettes we use already defined color palettes provided by Angular
Material (e.g. $mat-amber
, $mat-brown
, $mat-red
). You can find additional already defined palettes like
those in node_modules/@angular/material/_theming.scss
(just search for those we’ve already used in our demo)
and you can make use of them just like we did above. If you wish to define your own palette you can take some
inspiration from those that are already defined, add them in the styles.scss
file and make use of them.
For additional information, you can read: Angular Material theming guide, Sass/scss basics.
Once all changes were done we need to generate the .css file:
ng build --prod --extract-css
Now locate the demo/dist/demo/styles.xxxxxxx.css
file, rename it to demo.css
(use your theme name instead of
default name, very important) and copy it on your fleio installation in
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/staff/assets/themes
or /var/webapps/fleio/frontend/reseller/assets/themes
or
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/enduser/assets/themes
directory.
Once copied, you will need to add your theme in the available themes in panel’s config file.
Edit /var/webapps/fleio/frontend/PANEL_NAME/assets/config/PANEL_NAME.config.json
settings > availableThemes
property to look like this (or add it, if missing):
...
"settings": {
...
"availableThemes": ["demo"],
...
Notice we removed “spring” from the availableThemes default array. In this case, we’ll need to also change the app
default theme using the defaultTheme
property:
...
"settings": {
...
"defaultTheme": "demo",
...
Now users will have another default theme and they can change it from their user’s profile page, if any other themes are available.
Adding new themes in docker install¶
First, you need to generate the theme .css file as in the above docs.
After that, you’ll need to change the index.html file for each panel you want and to and include the customized .css file. To do so, read the following guide: Adding or changing files in Fleio docker images.
Here are a few notes:
The css theme file should be copied like this (do so for every panel):
COPY theme_name.css "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/staff/assets/themes/theme_name.css"
COPY theme_name.css "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/enduser/assets/themes/theme_name.css"
COPY theme_name.css "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/reseller/assets/themes/theme_name.css" # only if reseller is enabled
Also, the sed command from the Dockerfile should look like this (do so for every panel):
RUN sed -i \
's^</head>^<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" \
href="assets/themes/theme_name.css" \ media="screen"/></head>^' \
"$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/staff/index.html"
RUN sed -i \
's^</head>^<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" \
href="assets/themes/theme_name.css" \ media="screen"/></head>^' \
"$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/enduser/index.html"
RUN sed -i \
's^</head>^<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" \
href="assets/themes/theme_name.css" \ media="screen"/></head>^' \
"$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/reseller/index.html" # only if reseller is enabled
Remember to update the availableThemes setting from angular configs as described in the previous section but this time by using the following command (do so for every panel):
fleio edit staff.config.json
fleio edit enduser.config.json
fleio edit reseller.config.json # only if reseller is enabled
How to change the logo in Docker install¶
In order to change the logo for enduser, staff and reseller angular panels you will have to copy the new logo to the following locations, inside the fleio_frontend_1 container:
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/staff/assets/img/staff/
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/enduser/assets/img/enduser/
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/reseller/assets/img/reseller/
Keep in mind that manually copying there does not make these persistent so on upgrade / recreate they will be removed. In order to make them persistent, you will have to create a custom frontend image, as it’s described in this guide Adding or changing files in Fleio docker images.
Here are a few particular notes for this case:
The Dockerfile new lines which will copy the logos to their location are the following:
COPY logo_light.png "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/staff/assets/img/staff/logo_light.png"
COPY logo_dark.png "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/staff/assets/img/staff/logo_dark.png"
COPY logo_light.png "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/enduser/assets/img/enduser/logo_light.png"
COPY logo_dark.png "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/enduser/assets/img/enduser/logo_dark.png"
COPY logo_light.png "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/reseller/assets/img/reseller/logo_light.png"
COPY logo_dark.png "$INSTALL_PATH/frontend/reseller/assets/img/reseller/logo_dark.png"
Remember to update the logoDark and logoLight setting from angular configs as described in the previous section but this time by using the following command (do so for every panel):
fleio edit staff.config.json
fleio edit enduser.config.json
fleio edit reseller.config.json # only if reseller is enabled
Adding custom javascript¶
If you wish to add custom javascript to the angular app you can access and edit the following files (create them if they happen to not exist):
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/staff/assets/js/custom.js - for staff
/var/webapps/fleio/frontend/reseller/assets/js/custom.js - for reseller
Example of custom.js file:
(function () {
// window.setHeaders = function (request, getCookie) {
// return {
// CustomHeader: getCookie('customCookieName'),
// }
// }
})();
Notice the usage of IIFE
Customizing request headers¶
After reading the above documentation about the custom.js file, besides custom javascript code you want to write, we’ve introduced a method for allowing you to override/add headers when making requests. As you can see in the template, overriding the window.setHeaders function’s return value will allow you to define those headers as a dictionary. You can make use of the request param to add conditions based on request method for example. Return null if you want no headers to be added/overridden. You can make use of the getCookie param that references a method used for getting a cookie by name (exemplified in the commented code of the template).
