My first attempt at writing erlang, a simple blog using Yaws and Mnesia

ERblog (Eralng-based blog)

This is my first attempt at writing Erlang :) It is a simple blog written in Erlang using yaws as a webserver and mnesia as DB(aka as LYME stack).

It is not meant to be used by anyone and is probably not a good example of writing erlang.

Requirments

I tested it on Erlang R14B04,and the rest of the requirments are handled by rebar

First run

Erblog uses yaws so we need to fetch it using rebar:

./rebar get-deps

Since erblog uses mnesia we first need to create a schema,run:

priv/start_dev db

This will create mnesia schema on this node and insert some dummy data,to close the erlang shell simply type q().

Running the blog

just run:

priv/start_dev

The blog should be running on http://localhost:9090

Adding a blog post

In the erlang shell type:

rr("include/*").
erblog_models:add_post(3,"Your title","Your content").

Cleaning the db

To restore the db to its initial state run:

priv/start_dev clean_db
