API CMS UI powered by Firebase, mithril, and my own dwindling sanity. Oh, and acronyms.

Crucible

Fully client-side single-page application talking to FireBase to build a customizable CMS backed by a robust RESTful API. (Because the API is just FireBase!)

Installation

1. npm install crucible
2. Rename index-example.html to index.html, changing the <base> tag if necessary
3. Rename config-example.js to config.js and set your firebase endpoint
4. Open index.html in a browser

Development

1. Create a fork of https://github.com/tivac/crucible
2. git clone https://github.com/<username>/crucible.git
3. cd crucible
4. npm install
5. Rename index-example.html to index.html, changing the <base> tag if necessary
6. Rename config-example.js to config.js and set your firebase endpoint
7. npm run build
8. npm start
9. Open http://localhost:9966 in a browser

Usage

You'll want to create a schema first. Schemas are JSON-ish documents that contain some number of fields.

Once you've created a schema you can create instances of that schema. All edits are synced in near-real-time to FireBase, so your data should always be in sync.
