// Initialize your app
var myApp = new Framework7 ({
   animateNavBackIcon: true,
   
   // Enable templates auto precompilation
   precompileTemplates: true,
   
   // Enabled rendering pages using Template7
   template7Pages: true,
   
   // Specify Template7 data for pages
   template7Data: {
      'url:likes.html': {
         likes: [
            {
               title: 'Nelson Mandela',
               description: 'Champion of Freedom'

         position: 'Developer',
         company: 'TechShell',

var mainView = myApp.addView('.view-main', {
   // Enable dynamic Navbar
   dynamicNavbar: true
});

You can access and modify any template7Data data in any moment. The template7Data is accessible in global object Template7.data or in its alias myApp.template7Data.

Page & URL Rules

The page and url rules are explained briefly below −

• When you specify the property name starting from url: then, this context will be used for the page.

• When you specify the property name starting from page: then, this context will be used with specified name of the page.

It is suggested to use url: as it provides accurate detection. However, in some cases, it is impossible to use url:, for instance, in pages with URLs having distinct GET parameters (like contact.html?id = 1 and contact.html?id = 2) or for dynamic pages. In such a case use the page: rule.

Plain Data Objects

The plain data objects provide a way to handle your pages data in more complex and customizable manner. These objects allow you to pass custom context to loaded page by using links and data-context-name attribute.
