prata v0.2.1

This is a beta version.

Prata

Prata allows you to generate and/edit data in 3 easy steps:

1. Add a schema following the json-schema.org standards.
2. Edit data based on this structure via a user friendly or code editor.
3. You can now GET, POST your data from anywhere.

It is a Nodejs application based on typicode/json-server and jdorn/json-editor.
Therefore we advice you to read the documentation of those two projects before getting started.

Installation

You need to Nodejs installed on your computer/server.
$ npm install to install all dependencies required by the project.
$ npm start to run a webserver at http://localhost:3000/.

Development

$ npm run dev to build the project, start the server and watch/rebuild HTML, CSS and JS.

Under the hood, we're using:

• jshint and browserify to lint and manage client-side JS.
• LESS to pre-process CSS.
• Metalsmith to generate HTML from Handlebars templates.

Libraries

CSS

• Bootstrap
• CodeMirror

JS

• jQuery latest and Bootstrap because why not.
• CodeMirror to edit schema and data.
• Faker to generate fake data used via Handlebars helpers.
• Handlebars as a json-editor dependency to populate fields with dynamic values.
• jsonlint to lint json before posting to server.
• json-editor to provide a user friendly interface to edit JSON.
