AjGenesisNode Express

AjGenesisNode Express tasks and templates, to generate web sites using Express. WIP.

Setup

Install Node.js.

Install latests version of AjGenesis for Node and Express modules as global modules:

npm install ajgenesis -g
npm install ajgenesisnode-express -g

In Linux, you should use sudo npm ... to install global modules

Quick start

In any working directory, create an application

mkdir myapp
cd myapp
ajg install express
ajg init
npm install

Edit ajgenesis/models/project.json created by the above init command

project.json

{
    "name": "myapp",
    "title": "Myapp"
}

The created directory contains the seed of an Express 4.x application.

And there is a subdirectory ajgenesis with:

• ajgenesis/models: where the free model files reside
• ajgenesis/module: verbs to run in express ajgenesis module, with libs and templates
• ajgenesis/modules: additional ajgenesis modules

Let add some entities and propeties, using then entity module (installed under ajgenesis/modules/entity):

ajgenesis entity:add customer
ajgenesis entity:addproperty customer name
ajgenesis entity:addproperty customer address
ajgenesis entity:add supplier
ajgenesis entity:addproperty supplier name
ajgenesis entity:addproperty supplier address

Entity .json files are added to ajgenesis/models/entities folder. You can edit those file manually, instead of relaying in auxiliary entity module.

Generate the web site:

ajgenesis generate

The web site is generated in the current directory.

The site use MongoDB. Install it from here.

Start the site

npm start

The site is available in your browser using http://localhost:3000.
