Live Demo: http://adonisjs-hackathonstarter.herokuapp.com/

A boilerplate for AdonisJS 4.1 web applications.

If you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it takes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming language, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might have an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start contributing. Or how about doing something as simple as Sign in with Facebook authentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth 2.0 works.

When I started this project using AdonisJs, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of use and also integrate as many API as Possible. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific. In the worst case you can use this as a learning guide for your projects, if for example you are only interested in Sign in with Google authentication and nothing else.

AdonisJS Hackathon Starter is a boilerplate application developed with AdonisJS 4.0 (This Branch) to keep you ahead in hackathons.

AdonisJS is a free, open-source Node.js web framework, created by Aman Virk and intended for the development of web applications following the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern

cd starter

# Run your migrations
adonis migration:run

adonis serve --dev

FAQ

Why do I get csrf token mismatch when submitting a form?

You need to add the following code to your form. This has been added in the existing codebase as part of the CSRF protection.

{{ csrfField() }}

I get a whoops error when I deploy my app, why?

Chances are you haven't generated the app key, so run adonis key:generate. Chances are you haven't put your credentials in your .env file.

How It Works (mini guides)

This section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation about how a particular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works, or maybe you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides some guidance to you.

How do flash messages work in this project?

Flash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and access it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login attempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you refresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page, that error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. All flash messages are available in your views via adonisJS sessions. To send a flash message to the view, you need to add the following code

session.flash{error: "Eroor due to 1.2.3 .."})

To display the flash message,you need to add the following code.

@if(old('error'))
    <div class="alert alert-danger">
        {{ old('error') }}
    </div>
@endif

How do I create a new page?

A more correct way to be to say "How do I create a new route". The main file routes.js contains all the routes. It's located in the start directory Each route has a callback function associated with it. You will see 2 arguments to routes. In cases like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while the second argument is a callback function. Example is a route that requires authentication.

const Route = use('Route')
Route::get('/account', 'AccountController.getAccount').middleware('auth')

It always goes from left to right. A user visits /account page. Then auth middleware checks if you are authenticated:

Here is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say we are building a page that lists all books from database.

Step 1. Start by defining a route.

const Route = use('Route')
Route::get('/books', 'BookController.getBooks');

Step 2. Create a new model Book.js inside the app/Models directory. You can simply run adonis make:model Book

'use strict'

const Model = use('Model')

class Book extends Model {
  
}

module.exports = Book

Step 3. Create a migration file like so: adonis make:migration create_books_table and it will ask you choose an action select Create table

'use strict'

const Schema = use('Schema')

class CreateBooksTableTableSchema extends Schema {

  up () {
    this.table('books', (table) => {
    	table.increments()
        table.string('name').nullable()
        table.string('isbn').nullable()
        table.timestamps()
    });
  }

  down () {
    this.drop('books');
  }
}

module.exports = CreateBooksTableTableSchema

Step 4. Create a new controller file called BookController.js inside the app/Controllers/Http directory. You can simply run adonis make:controller BookController and it will ask you Generating a controller for ? select Http Request

'use strict'

const Book = use('App/Models/Book')

class BookController {

    /**
     * Return all books
     * @return View
     */
  async getBooks({view}) {
    let books = await Book.all();

    return view.render('books', { books: books.toJSON() })
  }
  
}

module.exports = BookController

Step 5. Create books.edge template in resources/views directory

@layout('layout.master')

@section('content')
    @include('layout.nav')
    <div class="main-container">
        @include('layout.alerts')

        <div class="page-header">
            <h2><i style="color: #f00" class="fa fa-book"></i>All Books</h2>
        </div>

        <ul>
        @each(book in books)
            <li> {{ book.name }} </li>
        @endeach
        </div>
    </div>
@endsection

That's it!

Deployment

Once you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a cloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top picks. From my experience, Heroku is the easiest to get started with, deployments and custom domain support on free accounts.

1-Step Deployment with Heroku

  • Download and install Heroku Toolbelt
  • In terminal, run heroku login and enter your Heroku credentials
  • From your app directory run heroku create
  • Create a Procfile in your app root. All this file needs to contain is web: ENV_SILENT=true node server.js
  • Run heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev to add a Postgres database to your heroku app from your terminal
  • Since AdonisJS v4 uses Node version 8 or greater and NPM version 3 or greater, we need to state which Node and NPM engine in package.JSON by adding this to the JSON
 "engines": {
    "node": "8.1.x",
    "npm": "5.4.X"
  }
  • Lastly, do git push heroku master. Done!
  • Run artisan commands on heroku like so heroku run node ace migration:run

Note: To install Heroku add-ons your account must be verified.

  • First, install this Ruby gem: sudo gem install rhc 💎
  • Run rhc login and enter your OpenShift credentials
  • From your app directory run rhc app create MyApp nodejs-0.10
  • Note: MyApp is the name of your app (no spaces)
  • Once that is done, you will be provided with URL, SSH and Git Remote links
  • Visit provided URL and you should see the Welcome to your Node.js application on OpenShift page
  • Copy and and paste Git Remote into git remote add openshift YOUR_GIT_REMOTE
  • Before you push your app, you need to do a few modifications to your code

go to htpp.js in bootstrap directory,

Then change Server.listen(Env.get('HOST'), Env.get('PORT')) to:

Server.listen(Env.get('OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP') || '127.0.0.1', Env.get('OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT') || 3333)

Add this to package.json, after name and version. This is necessary because, by default, OpenShift looks for server.js file. And by specifying ENV_SILENT=true supervisor server.js it will automatically restart the server when node.js process crashes.

"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
  "start": "ENV_SILENT=true supervisor server.js"
},
  • Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running git push -f openshift master
  • Note: The first time you run this command, you have to pass -f (force) flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you create a new Node.js app. Passing -f flag will override everything with your Hackathon Starter project repository. Do not run git pull as it will create unnecessary merge conflicts.
  • And you are done!
