The Angular CMS Framework for building fully-featured SPA sites powered by NodeJS and MongoDB with TypeScript.
It includes 4 packages:
@typijs/core
- provides the decorators, injection tokens, base classes to create content type@typijs/modules
- provides the plugged-in module such as Page tree, Block tree, Media..@typijs/portal
- provide the UI layout to access editor, admin@typijs/api
- provide the apis to manipulate the content data which stored in MongoDBBuild on top modern stacks with TypeScript
Let assume you need build the dynamic website, in Angular CMS, we need to breakdown this page to properties, blocks like this
So thinking of the architecture in which the site which breakdowns to many pages, each page will also breakdowns to blocks and properties. After that we will definite the page types, block types to build the site.
From this idea, in Angular CMS, we will definite the Home Page
page type like this
@PageType({
displayName: "Home Page",
componentRef: HomeComponent,
description: "This is home page type"
})
export class HomePage extends PageData {
@Property({
displayName: "Logo",
displayType: UIHint.Input
})
logo: string;
@Property({
displayName: "Latest Projects Page Root",
displayType: UIHint.Input
})
latestProjectRoot: string;
@Property({
displayName: "Highlight Features",
description: "This is highlight feature will be in banner area",
displayType: UIHint.ContentArea
})
features: Array<any>;
@Property({
displayName: "Highlight Portfolios",
displayType: UIHint.ContentArea,
})
portfolios: Array<any>;
@Property({
displayName: "Footer",
displayType: UIHint.ContentArea
})
footer: Array<any>;
@Property({
displayName: "Footer Text",
description: "This is footer text to show the copyright",
displayType: UIHint.Xhtml
})
footerText: string;
}
Basically, we have just created the page type with properties: logo, features, portfolios, footer...
Then corresponding to page type, we will create a template (like Html template). In Angular CMS, this template actually is the Angular Component
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CmsComponent } from '@typijs/core';
import { HomePage } from './home.pagetype';
@Component({
templateUrl: './home.component.html',
})
export class HomeComponent extends CmsComponent<HomePage> {
constructor() {
super();
}
}
Now when create the page with page type of Home Page
, the HomeComponent
is charge of rending the page's template
So after we done all things above, how to we create a page. In Angular CMS, we have the admin/editor UI to manage all pages like this
I created a GIF for demo purpose. It's just only 35MB (haha), so be patient for loading please.
In case your device or browser can't load the this gif, there is a video you can see Angular Cms Demo
This Admin/Editor UI is build with plug-in architecture
Each page you created has the unique friendly SEO URL like /home-page
, /home-page/about
, /portfolio/article-1
...and the page is published, it can be access via those urls
Check it out with other nice features:
and last but most important: the site you build with Angular CMS is actually the Angular App, it mean it is Angular from router, render, .... You will only work with Angular.
However, it still need a storage to store data, right?. Angular CMS uses the API system which was built by ExpressJS (NodeJS framework) and MongoDB (using mongoose as ORM)
The minimal, simple, clear screen for Editor to edit content
On page preview
Upload media by drag & drop
To start the site build with TypiJS, following theses steps
git clone https://github.com/typijs/typijs-starter.git
cd typijs-starter
server
folder run script
npm install
npm run dev
client
folder run script
npm install
npm start
Before you want to contribute the project, you need set up the local development environment
Under the root folder, run this command to build the docker image for Apis
docker-compose build
docker-compose up
Now you can goto http://localhost:4200 to see the site.
mongorestore -d vegefoods_v2 resources/db/dump/vegefoods_v2
cms-api
folders and run command npm install
npm link
npm run build
cms-server
folder and run commands npm install
npm link @typijs/api
cms-server
folder, and run the command npm run dev
This command will run script to connect to mongo db, so make sure you have the correct path to your db.
For example, you have the db path like as [MonogDB PATH]/data/db
mongod --dbpath [MongoDB PATH]/data/db
If you are running MongoDB as a service, you can skip this step
cms
folder, run the command sequentially npm install
ng build core
ng build modules
ng build portal
npm run dev
Make sure you installed Angular CLI with
--global
Now you can goto http://localhost:4200 to see the site.
Register an admin account on the admin site
url: http://localhost:4200/typijs/register
npm install
ng build core
ng build modules
ng build portal
ng build
ng run cms-demo:server
Copy three folders dist\core
, dist\modules
and dist\portal
into cms\node_modules\@typijs
folder then run this script to start Server Site Render
npm run start:ssr
If there is any change these libs core
or modules
or portal
need to run build for each lib again then run
ng run cms-demo:server
and start server site again
