swarmcommerce / beacon_demo

Sample application running Beacon, a open-source content management system (CMS) built with Phoenix LiveView.

BeaconCMS Demo

Sample application to showcase beacon features. Follow the readme to get started:

Run a database

Postgres is configured by default but you may change the adapter in lib/beacon_demo/repo.ex.

Adjust database connection

In config/dev.exs adjust the following repo config to fit your local environment:

config :beacon_demo, BeaconDemo.Repo, ...

config :beacon, Beacon.Repo, ...

Install dependencies

Beacon depends on C libraries. If deps compilation fails, make sure your environment has the compilers installed. On Ubuntu look for the build_essential package, on macOS install utilities with xcode-select --install.

Change seeds data (optional)

Layouts and pages are defined in priv/repo/beacon_seeds.exs. Feel free to change it but remember to reset the database: mix ecto.reset

Setup

Run:

mix setup

Run server

mix phx.server
