Free and Open Source 
Full Stack
RAPID API DEVELOPMENT

Powered by LoopBack and Angular

About

Colmena is a starter kit for an API with an Admin interface that can be easily extended and built upon.

It is built using a collection of great Open Source projects, including but not limited to:

• LoopBack - API server based on Express.
• Angular - MVC framework to build web apps.
• LoopBack SDK Builder - Awesome integration of Loopback and Angular.
• CoreUI - Amazing Bootstrap Admin Template.

⚠️ Warning

This software is under active development!

Please do not use it in production without addressing the issues in the Work in Progress section

Work in Progress

Colmena is a work in progress and not all functionality is built yet.

• Only basic ACLS are implemented, this means that the API can be used by whoever has access to it
• The interface does not reflect the user role (admin/manager/user)
• Content will be leaking across domains, while this should not be possible

Structure

The project is a mono-repo managed by lerna. It is structured like this:

• apps/
  • admin The Admin interface built with Angular.
  • api The REST API built with LoopBack.
• modules/
  • admin-* Modules that add functionality to the Admin app.
  • api-* Modules that add functionality to the API app.
• packages/
  • admin-* Packages used by the Admin app.
  • api-* Packages used by the API app.

The structure of this project is inspired by this great example: OasisDigital/scalable-enterprise-angular.

Installation

Requirements

Software installed on your system:

• node (v6.9.x or higher).
• npm (v3.x or higher).

Globally installed Node packages:

• Angular CLI
• Lerna
• LoopBack CLI

npm install -g @angular/cli lerna loopback-cli

Setup

Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/colmena/colmena
cd colmena
npm install
lerna bootstrap

Development

Running in development mode

When the project is running in development mode the API and the Admin will restart automatically when a code change is detected.

URLs

• The API listens on http://127.0.0.1:3000.
• The Admin listens on http://127.0.0.1:9000.

Start the project

From inside the project dir run npm run dev:

npm run dev

This will start both the API and the Admin in the same terminal.

You can also start the two components separately:

Start the API

npm run dev:api

Start the Admin

npm run dev:admin

Clean up the project

During development it can be useful to bring the project back to a clean state. To do this run:

npm run clean && npm install && lerna bootstrap

Configuring the development setup

local.yaml

You can configure the API in development mode by creating a local.yaml file in config. The contents of this file is not tracked by git so it only lives on your local machine.

To start with the default settings copy config/default.yaml to config/local.yaml.

Sample data

The API comes with a set of sample data for development.

To load the sample data when starting the API update local.yaml to include:

system:
  initdb: true

You can also use the INITDB environment variable.

API Base Url

By default the development stack assumes that the API and Admin are both started on localhost (using 127.0.0.1).

In order to run the API on another host than localhost the admin needs to know on which IP address it can reach the API. To do this you need to update the api.baseUrl config property.

Make sure to configure the API Base Url without a trailing slash.

To set the API Base Url update local.yaml to include:

api:
  # Do not use trailing spaces for the baseUrl
  baseUrl: http://192.168.12.34:3000

You can also use the API_BASE_URL environment variable.

You should now be able to connect to the Admin on http://192.168.12.34:9000 and it should connect to the API.

Development Servers

Colmena comes with a Docker Compose configuration for running development servers easily.

mongodb

To use the mongodb server update local.yaml to include:

mongodb:
  url: mongodb://localhost/colmena

You can also use the MONGODB_URL environment variable

mailhog

To use the mailhog server update local.yaml to include:

smtp:
  host: localhost
  port: 1025

You can also use the SMTP_HOST and SMTP_PORT environment variables

Start the servers

npm run servers # or: npm run servers:start

Show the servers logging

npm run servers:logs

Stop the servers

npm run servers:stop

Delete the servers

npm run servers:rm

Best way/practice to limit view access to a module for a particular User Role?

Hi,

What should be the best way to limit view access to a module for a particular User Role?

Should the folder client/app/modules/my-module/ be restricted when loading?
Should I remove in some way line 'con.module.my-module', from client/app/js/app.js folder?
and also remove js files loading at client/app/index.html ?
Or should I just not load files at client/app/modules/my-module/config/ folder? So that the item in the side bar and the routes not be configured?

What do you think should be the best strategy to take and what would be the best way to implement it?

Regards!

Question: start version of grunt file

I'm wondering, is there a specific version of the grunt file that you took as 'start' and on which you added e.g. the lb-services generation grunt task or did you design the gruntfile completely from scratch ?

The bower install command returned an error, any idea what it could be?

AdminLTE

Hi,
I saw you want to change the template at a later stage.
What about this one? https://github.com/almasaeed2010/AdminLTE

Just an idea ;)
Thank you

Idea: sails as backend

Bram,

Did you ever consider using Sails as backend ? http://sailsjs.org/
I like loopback but I feel more attracted to sailsJS, which is real convention over configuration.
SailsJS = keep it simple. Loopback not always :)

Main panel (e.g. products) has scrollbar even when not necessary

Even when there are only 2 items and a lot of screen estate left, there is a scroll bar.

Also the title (e.g; Product Manage your products here!) disappears when scrolling.

Have a great day.
paul.

Adding support for Stormpath

While it is pretty obvious (at least from my viewpoint) that LoopBack is the best overall NodeJS framework, it is quite thin on the "client side". This loopback-angular-admin is the best proof of my assessment -- since I found this project getting ready to create an extension of LoopBack Yeoman generator slc loopback that would do as good job creating client side skeleton app as it does on the server side.

Now, always looking to improve what is available, I realized that Loopback would be a lot more useful when utilizing Stormpath Authentication & User Management API instead of it's own much less ambitious equivalent code. Since I am already working with Stormpath's team on "Stormpath - LoopBack" interface, it would be great to include that in loopback-angular-admin project.

At the moment, I am trying to verify the whole concept by "hand-patching" the skeleton created by '`loopback-angular-admin``

latest grunt-connect-proxy broken

I'm seeing this:

Loading "connect_proxy.js" tasks...ERROR

Found this grunt-connect-proxy bug.

I resolved by manually:

rm -rf node_modules/grunt-connect-proxy
npm install [email protected]
npm install grunt-connect-proxy

Angular Submodule Generator

Greetings,

This is an extremely helpful project to get a workflow going for an enterprisey, full-stack app. Thank you very much for making it publicly accessible!

However, based on the architectural layout and design of the Angular.js portion, I'm left with a lingering question:
Did you use a yeoman generator for your Angular.js submodules, and if so what did you use?

I cannot find any documentation in the generator-angular app about submodules so I'm assuming you used something different?

I've found https://github.com/cgross/generator-cg-angular. It looks helpful...but I just wanted to get a more detailed peak into your development workflow.

Thanks in advance,

Tami

ACL Implementation

Hi @beeman , i found this project in a group of NodeJS Brazil on Facebook, it would be nice if we could make an example of you guys using the Loopback

http://jedireza.github.io/drywall/

Hi

Can you explain me the code?

Connecting Loopback w/DB

Hello,

Noticed that after a bit, the stored data goes away. I am assuming the app uses local storage? Anyway, I am trying to make the platform so it permanently saves data? Any suggestions?

Kenny

existing LB APIs?

If we have existing Loopback projects how do we incorporate your admin? Would it be possible to pull this repo apart so that the admin itself is a separate repo, and we simply can use this? I imagine we just focus on your client folder.. But it would be nice if that was its own distinct project to make pulling your future updates simpler.

loopback-connector-mongodb needs to be updated for ctx.isNewInstance to work

Strongloop is advocating the use of operation hooks instead of deprecated model hooks. One nice thing that comes with that functionality is the ctx.isNewInstance, cf. http://docs.strongloop.com/display/public/LB/Operation+hooks#Operationhooks-Checkingforsupportofctx.isNewInstance

However, this functionality only got introduced in v1.9.0 of loopback-connector-mongodb, but the current package.json is fixed at v1.7.0.

Simply updating package.json to use v1.11.3 of loopback-connector-mongodb causes another error, which can be fixed by updating loopback-datasource-juggler to the latest version, v2.33.1.

This again requires loopback to be updated, I was successful using the latest version, v2.19.0.

Finally, by adding "legacyExplorer": false in server/config.json, deprecation warnings otherwise printed go away.

Making these changes seem to work fine when doing a new install, I'm happy to submit a pull request for this if you'd like.

Integration to my own Loopback App ?

I don't understand how I can integrate this admin client to my own loopback App, how can I generate the right html/js files ?

Brilliant ! Making things isomorphic would make it shine !

Dear Bram,

Really great approach and I'm still exploring. I've done some research in strongloop/loopback and I'm really convinced they offer a rock solid foundation for all types of business application (or call it line of business apps).

The real beauty could get in when going the full isomorphic path.
I'm seeing currently a few examples:

1. Validation logic : usually validation logic client side is a subset of the server side validation logic. If would be cool if the logic is organised in such a way it's written only once and the server reuses the code file of the client side logic.
2. entity construction (instantiation): in business apps an entity constructor makes sense for providing default values (in such a way they don't need to be set in the controller in a screen specific manner. Often the same entities are created also server side. So, a candidate for client/server sharing.
3. permissions: typical _CanExecute behavior.

Just some random thoughts about the usage angular-formly. I'm not convinced it will be a big time saver. In the end, you will want to set specific css on controls. What about auto complete drop down, more complex foreign key and object composition/aggregation. I know that typing the html can be tedious, but a good editor with zen coding and smart snippets (as in webstorm) can work as well.
Things would be different if you would create the formly screens based on the info coming from /common/models, but then you would be limited to pure CRUD screens (i.e. no flexibility in the shape of the entities).

Great work !!!
Kind regards
paul.

heroku issue

When I try to create a heroku instance via your description link I see this (creation fails):

There was a problem with the app.json file found at "https://github.com/beeman/loopback-angular-admin/blob/master/README.md":
No app.json located in the repo URL provided. Are you sure the URL is correct and that an app.json file exists in the project root directory?

Install Error

Hi beeman,
I'm new to node, angular and all the stuff. I would like to learn a lot from your great app, but I can't install it. After my first try, I changed a line in the package.json
from:
"grunt-ngmin": "^0.0.3",
to:
"grunt-ng-annotate": "^0.4.0",
because of a npm error-message.
In my second try, I get this:

Deployment script for Amazon EC2

Hi,
would be awesome if there is a single Amazon EC2 Installation and Deployment script.

(maybe even push the Assets to S3 instead of putting it on the server.)

Problem running npm start

I encounter the following problem after running npm start fresh after installation

It keep flashing
Get http://0.0.0.0:3000/api/AuthProviders/count net::ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID

This isn't an issue, more of a question, createRole.principals.create

Can you please explain what is RoleMapping.USER ? I tried to go through the api docs but it's hard to understand,
createdRole.principals.create({
principalType: RoleMapping.USER,
principalId: createdUser.id
},

Is RoleMapping.USER the User Model object ? or is the role user ? or is it just a enum ?

Does it have to change according to the role ? like RoleMapping.ADMIN and RoleMapping.STUDENT (New role i have created) ?

grunt doesn't work

this line doesn't work API_URL=http://0.0.0.0:3000/api grunt

Warning: Cannot load LoopBack app server/server.js Use --force to continue.

Firstly, thanks a million for this fantastic app!!!
I have it working but some dependencies were not met at first grunt.
Doing a PR with modified package file.

(for future readers who might bumb into an Error: listen EADDRINUSE after a successful grunt, try the following to kill running npm tasks you might have launched by trying stuff:

ps aux | grep node
Find the process ID (second from the left)
kill -9 PRCOCESS_ID

when doing a full F5 refresh the left corner icon disappears

I know, in a SPA one should not do a full refresh (but users do)

As you can see, the user info panel gets messed up.
Cheers
paul.

Observations for README betterment

1. Folks may not immediately realize that running npm start & grunt serve spits out a PID which they can use to kill the server side of things. And that the rest of the logs are about the deployment and we start watching the client for changes.
   1. For the first few minutes, users may find themselves scratching their heads after hitting ctrl+c and trying the same step again ... as to why the port is occupied.
   2. Depending on the scroll buffer on one's terminal window, they may have already lost the PID or simply may not know to go looking for it.
   3. Maybe some commonly agreed upon language for the README that is way way shorter than the essay I just wrote here ... can be coined?
2. Running grunt serve without installing nodemon first ... still kicks off the process regardless. Only this time there is no PID so it gets a bit arbitrary to go looking for a node process to kill. Now yes, the next thing one may do right away is npm install -g nodemon and then grunt serve again but the earlier command has taken up the port (which one assumes had just plain failed but such is not the case) and again users are briefly left wondering ... what???
   1. Umm, so maybe some language that says: even if grunt serve fails due to lack of nodemon, a process occupying the port has started and must be killed before using grunt serve again.

Other user(s) password available to guest ([email protected])

I found that, after I registered my own email, I could see my password as guest via the web interface.

Is this known?
If not, give me a pointer so I can see if I can make a PR.

Note: admin password is not shown if one is guest

Add vagrant?

I found these links to test and add to the project, but I'm not the vagrant on my mac, does anyone could test and post to merge?

Layout from a fresh install appears broken

Doing a fresh clone (currently at commit 699d606), then npm install, followed by nodemon and grunt serve gives me a layout of a site that appears broken. See attached screenshots. What confuses me even more is that I've previously downloaded the repo (about two months ago) and everything looked nice like in the screenshots when I ran the same command. Am I doing something silly or is something broken?

User Register saves confirmpassword to the file (database)

Hi,
I have activated file system to view the data
{
"db": {
"name": "db",
"connector": "memory",
"file" : "db.json"
}
}

When I created a new user using the Register screen I noticed that the "confirmPassword" property of the form also gets persisted to the file. Also it is in the text format so I am pretty sure this shouldn't be present.

User access

Hi Beeman,

I'm trying to do the user having no access to other users profiles, specially admin's profile even him not having permissions to change, at this time he can list all users, how can I restrict his listing access to himself only?

Dropdown for Category in Products

As shown in the image below, in Add/Edit Product form, the category field is a textbox asking for ID. It would be amazing if there was a way to provide a drop down there. I think of this issue as an enhancement. Being new to Node, and specially loopback, I will try my best to come up with a solution, but any suggestions would be advisable.

Cross-origin errors

When following the install instructions on latest version, I ended up with cross-origin errors:
"XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://0.0.0.0:3000/api/settings. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:9000' is therefore not allowed access."

I think loopback 2.0 should have CORS enabled by default, so any ideas what might be the problem here?

Model hook "user.beforeCreate" is deprecated

Use Operation hooks instead. http://docs.strongloop.com/display/LB/Operation+hooks

ui-router loop forever

hi. If api is down, ui-router cause looping between "/login" and "/router".

client/app/modules/users/config/users.auth.js

if (rejection.status === 0) {
        $location.path('/');  // it cause loop forever
        CoreService.toastError('Connection Refused',
          'The connection to the API is refused. Please verify that the API is running!'
        );
}

Social connect

Hi,

I am trying to use the social connect feature with facebook but I am a bit stuck:
I have modified providers.json to leave only local facebook and I have fill the clientID & clientSecret fields. When I click on connect, I can see the redirection to facebook because at the beginning I got an invalid url error. After changing the website url in my facebook account to "http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook/callback", everything seems to work well except that I am still getting a 401 error so that I am stuck to the login page.
In the backend log, I can see that I am correctly logged in.
I guess it's a redirection issue. I don't know how to debug that because I don't know exactly the login process. Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

is there any update on using angular-formly 3.1.0

I would like to know, are they any plans to upgrade angular-formly 3.1.0 implementation?

Any datatable integration?

As an admin ui, data table is a required feature, is there any integration?

Detect if API is online

Saw this in the TODOs, did some research ... realized I wasn't up to finishing the task ... thought it might be useful to jot down any notes, doubts and open questions semi-permanently. They get a bit lost in gitter.

1. Should https://github.com/HubSpot/offline be written as an angular service and/or injected into app.run in a format that somewhat resembles: http://pterkildsen.com/2012/12/12/angularjs-tips-and-tricks-broadcast-online-and-offline-status/

2. Searching on bower registry for an already angular wrapped version of HubSpot/offline turns up the very same repo as mentioned above but I don't believe its angular ready so not sure what's going on there. May be a lapse in my understanding of angular?

3. This https://github.com/neoziro/angular-offline seems well rounded (README-wise) but I don't think it wraps the HubSpot library.
