I DON'T KNOW IF THIS NAME WILL STICK BUT IT'S THE ONLY NAME THAT SOUNDED OKAY THAT I COULD GET A DOMAIN FOR
It's time to start making OCaml an easy-to-reach-for choice to build web apps.
Currently the only tested database is PostgreSQL, but in theory SQLite should work as well.
Laraml leverages a .env file to populate secrets (because we aren't barbarians). If you want to configure a database, you will need to set the following values in your .env
DB_DRIVER-> The kind of database you are using (e.g. postgresql)DB_HOST-> The host of the database instanceDB_PORT-> The port that the database is usingDB_NAME-> The name of the databaseDB_PASS-> the password of the database userDB_USER-> The username of the database user
This project uses tailwind, but does not install it via npm. You may choose to do so, but the preferred solution is to download the Tailwind CLI and run it that way.
With the Tailwind CLI, you will use www/static/global.css as the input and www/static/build.css as the output like so:
./tailwindcss -i www/static/global.css -o www/static/build.css --watch
The --watch flag will keep the process running and update the CSS in the background as you swap tailwind classes in and out.
You can start Laraml via dune:
dune exec laraml
This will start the app on port 8080.
There will be JavaScript libraries added in the future, because I want the default auth solution to be passkeys. BECAUSE PASSWORDS ARE THE WORST. Beyond Identity provides a passkey SDK that is easy too use and free under a certain amount of auths which I will bake in soon, and I'll be investigating other built-in options we can add.
