ember-cli-deploy-rest

An ember-cli-deploy plugin to upload index.html files to a REST API. This is useful if you wrap your Ember app in a traditional web app, such as Rails.

API requirements

Your REST API should follow the spec below. Note that the base URL is configurable; for these examples we assume it's https://yourapp.com/ember-revisions.

• Authenticate with basic auth (please use HTTPS!)
• GET /ember-revisions: returns a JSON array of objects for the stored revisions. Fields are id (revision key), created_at (upload timestamp), revision_data (usually contains revision metadata) and current (boolean)
• POST /ember-revisions: expects a JSON body with fields id (revision key) and body (the index.html contents)
• PUT /ember-revisions/<id>: activates the revision with key id

Quick Start

To get up and running quickly, do the following:

$ ember install ember-cli-deploy-rest

ENV.rest = {
  baseUrl: 'https://yourapp.com/ember-revisions',
  username: '<your-deploy-username>'
  password: '<your-deploy-password>'
}
