CTK : Citizen ToolKit

The modular (H)API driven architecture also called CTK : Citizen ToolKit 
allows developpers to build efficiently citzen oriented application 
starting with function point definitions, then building the corresponding API 
and finally building the Front end on any device. 

The project grows in time, by building all sorts of citizen oriented applications 
based on a common code base : CTK 

it is intended to be generic , semanticly standardised by ontologies of schema.org 
linked by referenced data 

Api architecture

toutes les definitions de block mutualisés sont listés dans la classe Api.php
dans une map unique : Api::$apis
on peut faire des bouquets de fonction ou regroupements grace a des constructeur comme Api::getUserMap()
chaque application qui a son ApiController peut alors utiliser une map generique, l'augmenter, ou en creer une specifique 
les actions ou controller sont chargé dynamiquement basé sur ces definitions

Application Developpement Best practise

when building apps in test mode use application specific information like email:myapp@myapp.com
this it'll be easy to extract 
if your data is part of a common table simple add a applications.myapp node 
this node can contain any application specific information

Admin users

The api interface is retricted just like a back office for admin credentials
there are 2 types of admin credentials 
	application level admin 
		these users carry a applications.myapp.isAdmin:true node on their account's json
		are considered as admin user only for the applications called myapp
	full phAdmin 
		these users carry an isAdmin:true node on their account's json
		they have access to all applications 

Application specifications

creating a new applications 
	there must be an entry in the applications collections
	it will carry all details and specifications for the app to run 
	the system will and can get attributes from this entry 
	declare the module in the protected/config/moduleconfig.php 

InitData process and architecture

any application might need bootstrap datasets to be able to run properly 
simply create a /data folder 
inside add all your datasets like this 
	filenames must be the destination collections name : ex : citoyens.json
	inside they must contain an array list of json entries 
in the applications api you'll find an adminPH section listing all the files available for initialisation 
click "initialize data"
