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

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 
```js
session.flash{error: "Eroor due to 1.2.3 .."})
```
To display the flash message,you need to add the following code.
```twig
@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.

```js
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.

```js
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`

```js
'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`

```js
'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`

```js
'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

```js
@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](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)
- 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
```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.

<img src="http://www.opencloudconf.com/images/openshift_logo.png" width="200">

- First, install this Ruby gem: `sudo gem install rhc` :gem:
- 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:
```js
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.

```js
"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!
