VertxGo

VertxGo (aka 'Vertigo' or 'Vert.x Go!') is a CRUD Scaffolding Vert.x Module. Just provide a model in JSON, launch the mod and a complete Vertx CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) application will be created and ready to be deployed !

Quickstart

• Create a new folder, i.e :

mkdir Todo

• Inside this folder, create a folder mods :

cd Todo
mkdir mods

• Copy the VertxGo module inside the mods folder (you can do it by cloning the repo) Now we have to provide a model, the convention is that the model resides in a folder model and named model.json, i.e Todo/model/model.json :

{"Task":
	{
	 "description":"string" 
	}
}

• Ok ! It's time to scaffold ! Run the mod : vertx runmod vertxgo

• You are done ! Make sure you have a MongoDb instance running and run your App vertx run app.js

• Browse to localhost:8080

• You can create, update and delete tasks

Under the hood

This module has been inspired by the vert.x official Tutorial. The generated app is based on BackBone and Twitter Bootstrap. In the future, it will also be possible to switch to angular templates.

The module itself has been written in Groovy and uses Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine.

Limitations

This is a very first version and comes with a lot of limitations (but enough features to impress your friends) :

• Limited to one entity
• Support only text input widgets (only String is supported)

Features to come

• New input types (Date,Select,Radio ...)
• Multiple entities
• one-to-one relations
• one-to-many relations
• security scaffolding
