Modules, samples, and a skeleton for the Revel Framework

grunt:

sudo apt-get install nodejs npm ruby
sudo gem install sass
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli highlight.js
sudo npm install -g grunt-contrib-jshint grunt-contrib-concat grunt-contrib-uglify grunt-contrib-coffee grunt-markdown grunt-contrib-sass grunt-contrib-less

databases:

one of [postgres, mysql, sqlite]

go get -u revel-modz

go get -u github.com/iassic/revel-modz

The following instructions will setup a new app from the revel-modz skeleton

revel new <APP_NAME> github.com/iassic/revel-modz/skeleton
cd <APP_NAME>
bash init.sh  (hit ctrl-c when prompted) [you will see a bunch of errors initially]
cd ..

create a new database and update the db.spec in app.conf

createdb test_db  # or something similar

add the following environment variables to your .profile or .bashrc

export DB_DEV_USER='username'
export DB_DEV_PASS='userpass'
export DB_DEV_NAME='databasename'
export DB_PROD_USER='username'
export DB_PROD_PASS='userpass'
export DB_PROD_NAME='databasename'

Now run your new Revel application!

revel run <APP_NAME>

and point your browser at localhost:9000

Front-end:

• Foundation 5.1.1
• Headjs for asynchronous loading of assets
• Many JS/CSS goodies in revel-modz/modules/assets
• Templated includes for per page assets
• An appendjs template function for inserting JS code

Back-end:

• JS/SASS app resources initialized in app/assets
• Hot Code watch and recompile of app/assets with Grunt
• ORM with github.com/jinzhu/gorm

Security:

• User Authentication
• CSRF protection
• X-Frame-Options X-XXS-Protection and X-Content-Type-Options headers

Modules:

• assets

• grunt

• user

• auth

• user-files

• analytics -- page requests -- ui interaction testing

• maillist

• ws_comm -- client side -- server side

The individual modules have (will have) their own README's with more detail about each

The sample is a runnable Revel application, though you may have to do some setup

The skeleton mirrors the sample and both include all modules
