Blister

A Node JS Framework for creating end to end application platform APIs for ArcGIS Server.

Blister is bassed heavily on Drywall, a website and user system for Node.js. Drywall's mantra: What you create with Drywall is more important than Drywall. Check out the project. They have lots of useful info in their docs.

Live Demos

Platform Username Password

Note: The live demos have been modified so you cannot change the root user, the root user's linked Administrator role or the root Admin Group. This was done in order to keep the app ready to test at all times.

Requirements

You need Node.js and MongoDB installed and running.

We use Grunt as our task runner. Get the CLI (command line interface).

$ npm install grunt-cli -g

We use Bower as our front-end package manager. Get the CLI (command line interface).

$ npm install bower -g

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com:jedireza/drywall.git && cd ./drywall
$ npm install && bower install
$ mv ./config.example.js ./config.js #set mongodb and email credentials
$ grunt

Setup

You need a few records in the database to start using the user system.

Run these commands on mongo. Obviously you should use your email address.

use blister;
db.admingroups.insert({ _id: 'root', name: 'Root' });
db.admins.insert({ name: {first: 'Root', last: 'Admin', full: 'Root Admin'}, groups: ['root'] });
var rootAdmin = db.admins.findOne();
db.users.save({ username: 'root', isActive: 'yes', email: 'your@email.addy', roles: {admin: rootAdmin._id} });
var rootUser = db.users.findOne();
rootAdmin.user = { id: rootUser._id, name: rootUser.username };
db.admins.save(rootAdmin);

Now just use the reset password feature to set a password.

  • http://localhost:3000/login/forgot/
  • Submit your email address and wait a second.
  • Go check your email and get the reset link.
  • http://localhost:3000/login/reset/:email/:token/
  • Set a new password.

Login. Customize. Enjoy.
