Drywall.js

A website and user system for Node.js. It's not the platform, not the framework and not a module.

What you create with Drywall is more important than Drywall.

Technologies Used

Server = [node.js, express, jade, passport, mongoose, emailjs, async] Client = [bootstrap, backbone.js, jquery]

Installation

1. Download and unzip (or git clone) into a directory.
2. Configure /app.js with mongodb and email credentials.
3. Run app via "$ node app"

Setup

You need a few records in the database to start using the user system.

Run these commands on mongo. *Obviously you should use your email address.

db.admingroups.save({ name: 'root' });
var rootGroup = db.admingroups.findOne();
db.admins.save({ name: {first: 'Root', last: 'Admin', full: 'Root Admin'}, groups: [rootGroup._id] });
var rootAdmin = db.admins.findOne();
db.users.save({ username: 'root', isActive: 'yes', email: '[email protected]', roles: {admin: rootAdmin._id} });
var rootUser = db.users.findOne();
rootAdmin.user = rootUser._id;
db.admins.save(rootAdmin);

Now just use the reset password feature to set a password.

• http://localhost:3000/login/forgot/
• Submit your email address and wait a second.
• Go check your email and get the reset link.
• http://localhost:3000/login/reset/:token/
• Set a new password.

Login. Customize. Enjoy.

Philosophy

• Create a website and user system.
• Write code in a simple and consistant way.
• No home-grown modules or libraries.
• Only create minor utilities or plugins to avoid repetitiveness.
• Find and use good tools; frameworks, modules and libraries.
• Use tools in their native/default behavior.

Features

• Basic front end web pages.
• Contact page has form to email.
• Login system with forgot password and reset password.
• User system with seperate account and admin roles.
• Admin groups with shared permission settings.
• Administrator level permissions which override group permissions.
• Global admin quick search component.

To Do

• Add uncaught exception handler.
• Add account registration/sign-up to front end.
• Extend registration and login with options for using Twitter/Facebook via the passport module.
• Add notes component to account details using Note schema.
• App should have option to run as a cluster.
