This project is a working sample website that demonstrates many Apostrophe CMS development techniques. If you're a little lost after reading the documentation and aren't sure "where to put the code," studying this project will help a lot!
To try it out, follow the usual steps:
npm install
node app apostrophe-users:add admin admin
node app
After that the site is up and running. So log in at http://localhost:3000/login to add content.
Or, just refer to the code.
Techniques covered include (this list is rapidly growing):
- Displaying images fetched from related pages (thumbnail images for the "tabs" of the website)
- One, two, and three-column nested areas, allowing a user-created layout
- Command line tasks
- Example of pieces-pages
- Working directly with MongoDB
- Apostrophe's migration convenience APIs
- Example of a parked page
- Example of super pattern for the generate method
- Delivering assets from your own project-level module
- Joins, reverse joins
- Randomly populating joins when pieces are inserted
This is a tiny fraction of what Apostrophe can do, these are just topics that developers have found confusing in the past.
