Document

Rudimentary content system for Express Lane.

• Define one or more types of documents.
• Create, update, delete documents.
• Relate documents to each other in a hierarchical manner.

Installation

Add the following line to your ndistro file and rebuild:

module developmentseed document [version]

Document assumes the expresslane module to be available that exposes an documentTypes object describing all available document types and a database string identifying the databse to use for documents (see usage).

var settings = require('expresslane').app.set('settings')('document')
var documentTypes = document_settings.documentTypes;
var database = settings.database;
