Simpli CLI

About

Simpli CLI provides tools to generate either web-server or web-client projects based on a MySQL database scheme.

Server Project

Client projects are generated based on your MySQL database, and it provides Restful APIs, including Login API. Once you have built your server, you may use the Docker, IntelliJ or NetBeans in order to run your server. I will assume you know how to use Tomcat Server and Maven.

Requirements

- MVN CLI (Maven)
- Docker CLI

- MVN CLI (Maven)
- Tomcat Server with Catalina
- MySQL Server

Features included

- Kotlin Language
- Login API
- API Router
- API Process
- MySQL Table Models
- Data Access Object (DAO)
- Persist Validation
- Locale support (en-US and pt-BR included)
- Swagger Documentation
- Unit Test

Client Project

Client projects are generated based on swagger.json which can be found in server projects. It provides an interface with CRUDs, including Login System. Also, Simpli Web SDK supports you to easily develop your platform system. Access the simpli-web-sdk documentation to further information.

Requirements

- Node.js with NPM

Features included

- Typescript Language
- Login System
- Simpli Web Sdk
- Serialized API responses into Models
- Locale support (en-US and pt-BR included)
- Persist Validation
- Webpack with hot-reload
- VUE with SPA (VueRouter)
- VUEX
- SCSS
- TSLint

Getting Started

Let's start by installing Simpli CLI globally with npm.

$ npm install -g @simpli/cli

Once you have installed, simply go to your workspace directory and run the following:

$ simpli new:project [project-name]

You may now choose between Server Project and Client Project.

Server Project Prompt

When you choose the Server Project, you have to provide your MySQL access with the chosen database:

Server Prompt MySQL Access

Then, fill the rest of the prompt and confirm. Follow this example:

Server Prompt Example

Generating Fake Data

Another useful feature of Simpli CLI is Fake Data. This data can be found in root-project/src/test/resources/database/data.sql. If you could not find it, go to the root of project and generate the data.sql by running simpli new:seed. Then run simpli server:seed to populate the fake data into your database.

The default login is test@test.com and the password is tester

Important

Make sure your database is used for testing because the command simpli server:seed will TRUNCATE your tables.

Running the Server

Make sure the port 8080 is not in use.

Go to your project directory root and seed your database:

$ simpli server:seed

Then, run this shell:

$ sh build.sh

This command will use the mvn CLI and the docker CLI. Therefore, it should have those installed.

Go to localhost:8080

Server Running

Copy the swagger URL in order to generate the Client Project.

Client Project Prompt

When you choose the Client Project, you have to provide the swagger URL found in your Server Project:

Client Prompt Swagger Request

Then, fill the rest of the prompt and confirm. Follow this example:

Client Prompt Example

Once you have generated the client, go to your project directory root and run:

$ npm run serve

to enter on development mode. Or run:

$ npm run build

to build for production mode.

When you enter on dev, you may see this screen at localhost:8181:

Client Running

Important

The password column of your login table must be encrypted by double SHA-256. E.g.: The password 123456 should be 49dc52e6bf2abe5ef6e2bb5b0f1ee2d765b922ae6cc8b95d39dc06c21c848f8c in the password column.

Commands

Check it out the Simpli CLI commands

$ simpli scaffold:sync [options]

Options

-h, --help		output usage information

Server Inspect

inspect the tables of a MySQL database

Usage

$ simpli server:inspect [options] [paths...]

[paths...] : The path of a table

Usage

$ simpli server:sync [options]

Options

-h, --help		output usage information

Server Seed

Seed the database with test data from the current backend project

Make sure your database is used for testing because the command simpli server:seed will TRUNCATE your tables. Note: For security reasons, this command only allows MySQL host from localhost.
