A CMS written in JavaScript, based on Node.js, Sails.js, Angular and Polymer.

CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT - NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE YET

---

Todo

Bases

• Finish the main CMS models and create controllers for special CRUD data.
• Models: Validate each data when something is added or updated.
• Models: Delete associated data if needded.
• BackEnd: Give nice error messages in the Rest API if something is wrong.
• UI: Implement each screens to manage the base features of the CMS.
• UI: Create WebComponents of each field types of the CMS.
• Implement tests for each cases.

Then

• Add some security access (admin acces or no access).
• Add a simple user managment.
• Be abble to login with Google, Twitter, Facebook, Github accounts...
• Add a publishing module. So only publicated data will be accessible publicaly.
• Add a URL resolver and helpers functions to crunch easily the data to display in a web page (should be probably a separated module).
• Add a basic medias manager.

Later

• Review the UI and improve the user experience: drag & drop, contextual information, nice UI...
• Improve the media manager: make media files more dynamic (e.g.: rename files easily and automatically update paths in contents, etc...).
• Add support to Amazon s3 in the media manager.
• Be abble to dynamically resize images in the content.
• Add content versionning.
• Add multi level access for the users (make none available some features / sections of the CMS).
• Create documentation.
• Create a nice logo.

Sample Config

Right now, the CMS is only tested with MongoDB. But it should works with other DB systems supported by Warterline. Sample config/local.js file:

module.exports = {
    port: process.env.PORT || 1337,
    environment: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development',
    models: {
        connection: 'mongodbServer'
    },
    connections: {
        mongodbServer: {
            adapter: 'sails-mongo',
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 27017,
            user: '',
            password: '',
            database: 'spinnaker',
            schema: true
        }
    }
};
