Getting started

Let's make a Todo app with damascus

  1. Create a Liferay workspace with Blade cli or Liferay IDE / Liferay Developer Studio. For more details, please see https://dev.liferay.com/develop/tutorials/-/knowledge_base/7-0/blade-cli
  2. After creating Liferay workspace, navigate to under modules folder and run damascus -init Todo -p com.liferay.sb.test -v 70
  3. Navigate to todo folder. You'll see base.json file is created. For detailed configuration, please see https://github.com/yasuflatland-lf/damascus/wiki Just for demonstration now, we'll create a scaffolding as it is.
  4. Type damascus -create and damascus will create a scaffolding service and portlet according to the base.json file.
  5. Start up your Liferay server and in the Todo folder, type blade deploy. Blade will run properly and service and portlet will be deployed.

What does Damascus stand for?

Damascus is named after "Damascus blade", which is a strong / sharp blade made out from Damascus steel and forged with a lost technology. Liferay has it's official development tool,"Blade", so I gave this name in hope of reinforcement or extension of Blade tool.
