PieJS

PieJS is an open source rapid development framework for node.js. PieJS is used for developing and maintaining web applications. It is written in JavaScript, modeled after the concepts of CakePHP, using the well known design patterns of MVC and ORM. PieJS follows convention over configuration.

Prerequisites:

• node.js
• MySQL (for now, but more data sources are going to be supported!) - get the SQL below

Terminal:

git clone git://github.com/fakewaffle/piejs.git
cd piejs/
cp app/config/database.default.js app/config/database.js
[set the correct values for mysql in app/config/database.js]
cp app/config/core.default.js app/config/core.js
node start.js

Open your browser:

http://localhost:3000/posts
http://localhost:3000/posts/add
http://localhost:3000/posts/view/1
http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/1
http://localhost:3000/posts

Folder structure

• app/ - All user code goes here
  • controllers/ - User controllers, such as posts_controller.js, tags_controller.js.
  • models/ - User models such as posts.js, tags.js.
  • public/ - Publicly accessible (stylesheets,javascripts, images).
  • views/ - User views for each method in the user controllers.
    • helpers/ - User helpers (see pie/libs/view/helpers/* for the built in helpers).
    • layouts/ - User layouts for all views.
    • pages/ - Static pages served by PieJS (http://www.example.com/pages/*) (http://www.example.com/ -> http://www.example.com/pages/home).
• pie/ - Users should not (or try not to) edit code here.
  • libs/ - Code for Pie.
    • controller/ - Pie Controller, user controllers 'inherit' from this.
    • model/ - Pie Model, user models 'inherit' from this.
      • datasources/ - Data sources for Pie Model. Pie is planning on supporting many data sources (such as MySQL, MongoDB, etc). Each data source should present the model and controller with the same basic CRUD methods and data structure.
  • node_modules/ - node.js modules used for Pie.
