Cmsed

A component library for Vibe that functions as a CMS.
There is currently a getting started guide in the wiki link little incomplete at the moment. But will help a lot if you are new.

Features:

• Router based upon classes.
• Caches (pulls all values from a database reguarly for a model), with thanks to update mechanism.
• Support for Dvorm as ORM.
• Install / normal running modes.
• Node vs all node install configuration differentiation (node in file includes e.g. database vs in database as a cache)
• Session storage resides in database.
• Widget registration and usage support. Contains list of all widgets with routes accessible at runtime.
• Logging of all routes, widgets, data models, access.
• Can be executed in automatic reload mode. Utilising a command argument. For use in production environement where having it able to be reconfigured and rebooted on error is required.

Build status:

Cmsed:base
Cmsed:test

Examples:

Routes

import cmsed.base;

class Home : OORoute {
    @RouteFunction(RouteType.Get, "/", "index")
    bool index() {return true;}
}

shared static this() {
  registerRoute!Home;
}

You can utilise RouteGroups to append e.g. path values on.

class Home : OORoute {
  @RouteGroup(null, "/myhome") {
    @RouteFunction(RouteType.Get, "", "index")
    bool index() {return true;}
  }
}

Note UDAs (or attributes) are stackable. This means you can have quite a lot of those RouteGroups!

There are more check out routing/defs.d.

The current request and response is located in defs.d as well. As http_request and http_response respectively.

You can utilise arguments to route functions to specify parameters. This includes from form (post ext.) and query string for get.

class Test : OORoute {
	@RouteFunction(RouteType.Get, "/someargs")
	void someArgs(string a, string b) {
		http_response.writeBody(a ~ ", " ~ b);
	}
}

Forces errors and checks against e.g. string/integer/float/boolean arguments. Enables calling it via: http://example.com/someargs?a=text1&b=text2
You can further do validation from the arguments.

Javascript generation

Javascript is automatically generated to represent the data models and routes. This enables you to not need to write any ajax code.
Configuration of these features is in the apropriete defs files under cmsed/base/internal/generators/js

Models

Data models are pretty much as described by Dvorm.

Except a simple registration is required.

shared static this() {
  registerModel!Book;
}

Don't worry about the logMe method on these models! Thats handled and called automatically upon registration.

Note shared is a required part of this. Without it you'll get 8+ registrations of said model (one for each thread). Same goes for routing. But here it's more important as it is executed and grabbed for values e.g. widgets (route and position/name being requested).
