Boldr is a modern content management framework. Think of Boldr as the solid foundation for building your next great web application. Unlike other CMS platforms, Boldr is entirely JavaScript. Boldr features Universal / Isomorphic rendering for improved performance and Search Engine Optimization.
A CLI is in the early development stages. You will be able to scaffold out a complete or partial Boldr project with a single command. Viewable in its repository here
- Full REST API - Giving you the freedom to do whatever you'd like without looking at an interface.
- Rich text editor / WYSIWYG
- Server side rendering

- Content tagging - Easily relate content to similar topics
- Drag and drop file uploading
- User management with basic role based access control (major expansion of capabilities planned for a later date)

Development Disclaimer: At the moment, Boldr is in active development. Meaning there might be the occasional breaking changes, and architectural adjustments.
That said, I'm confident the majority of large breaking changes is behind us.

Boldr is configured by default to serve api documentation from http://localhost:3000/apidocs/. The docs are mostly complete and are kept up to date. You can also find them in the docs folder as markdown or view them live at https://staging.boldr.io/apidocs/.
Located in the boldr-api package
The database does not require an initial migration and seed if ran using the provided Docker setup.
Running your own Postgres database? No problem. Create a database and add the connection details to the .env file and package.json. Once you have a fresh database, run the migration command with npm run migrate followed by npm run seed. Your database is now ready to go!
Run the CMS using npm run dev
After Boldr has started visit http://localhost:3000. The admin account is already created and you may login using these credentials:
