| 6 | +## Bonus: pimp your CSS |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Don't ask a web developer to help you with the look and feel of the |
| 9 | +app, they will bring in hundreds of megabytes of Nodejs dependencies |
| 10 | +:S We suggest a (nearly) one-liner to get a decent CSS with no |
| 11 | +efforts: by using a class-less CSS, such as |
| 12 | +[Pico](https://picocss.com/docs). |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +We only need to load it in a `<head>` tag of our app. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Optionally, we may write one `<div>` with a `class="container"` attribute, to have better margins. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +So, for instance: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +```html |
| 21 | +(defparameter *template-root* " |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +<html> |
| 24 | +<head> |
| 25 | + <link |
| 26 | + rel=\"stylesheet\" |
| 27 | + href=\"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.min.css\"> |
| 28 | +</head> |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +<body class=\"container\"> |
| 31 | + <form action=\"/\" method=\"GET\"> |
| 32 | + <div> |
| 33 | + <label for=\"query\">What do you search for?</label> |
| 34 | + <input name=\"query\" id=\"query\" placeholder=\"Search…\" /> |
| 35 | + </div> |
| 36 | + <div> |
| 37 | + <button>Search</button> |
| 38 | + </div> |
| 39 | +</form> |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +{% if query %} |
| 42 | +<div> query is: {{ query }} </div> |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +<ul> |
| 45 | + {% for product in results %} |
| 46 | + <li> |
| 47 | + <a href=\"/product/{{ product.0 }}\">{{ product.1 }} - {{ product.2 }}</a> |
| 48 | + </li> |
| 49 | + {% endfor %} |
| 50 | +</ul> |
| 51 | +{% endif %} |
| 52 | +</body> |
| 53 | +</html> |
| 54 | +") |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Note how our root template is benefiting from the CSS, and not the |
| 58 | +product page. The two pages should inherit from a base template. It's |
| 59 | +about time we setup our templates in their own directory. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Refresh [http://localhost:8899/?query=one](http://localhost:8899/?query=one). Do you enjoy the difference?! |
