CallBackery

CallBackery is a perl library for writing CRUD style single page web applications with a desktopish look and feel. For many applications, all you have todo is write a few lines of perl code and all the rest is taken care of by CallBackery.

To get you started, CallBackery comes with a sample application ...

Quickstart

Open a terminal and follow these instructions below. We have tested them on ubuntu 14.04 but they should work on any recent linux system with at least perl 5.10.1 installed.

First make sure you have gcc, perl curl and automake installed. The following commands will work on debian and ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install curl automake perl gcc unzip

For redhat try

sudo yum install curl automake perl-core openssl-devel gcc unzip

Now setup callbackery and all its requirements. You can set the PREFIX to wherever you want callbackery to be installed.

PREFIX=$HOME/opt/callbackery
export PERL_CPANM_HOME=$PREFIX
export PERL_CPANM_OPT="--local-lib $PREFIX"
export PERL5LIB=$PREFIX/lib/perl5
export PATH=$PREFIX/bin:$PATH
curl -L cpanmin.us \
  | perl - -n --no-lwp https://github.com/oetiker/callbackery/archive/master.tar.gz

Finally lets generate the CallBackery sample application.

mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
mojo generate callbackery_app CbDemo
cd cb_demo

Et voilà, you are looking at your first CallBackery app. To get the sample application up and running, follow the instructions in the README you find in the cb_demo directory.

Enjoy
