##Purpose This app is designed to allow an icon pack creator/developer to easily filter from their list of icons and organize their structure and workflow with a database.
The main dashboard will consist of a collection of all the data from the entire app. It will by default show a list of incomplete icons in the collection, hiding others. The header nav has options to show/hide INCOMPLETE/STAGED/COMPLETE and perform a search on any name (app or file) in the collection. When an icon request is completed, user will select the options in the table (checkboxes) to select the COMPLETE option When an icon is already in the pack, but a request has come in for it, user will mark FIX ACTIVITY for use when updating the packs When an application is added, it will default to 'false' on all the options, showing it in the INCOMPLETE status.
These statuses will be updated in the database (current deployment method) or JSON (future enhancement), depending on your method of deployment.
##Install
git clone 'git@github.com:flamingm0e/App_Database.git'
cd App_Database
npm install
bower install
##Requirements You will need a mongodb to connect to, or in the future we will have JSON capabilities to edit JSON files directly in the project
/server.js handles the connectivity to the database and also instatiates the web service
Within /server.js edit the line that says var db = monk('mongodb://192.168.254.25:27017/appsDB'); with the connection to your database
A test database has been set up on mongolab for use with this application if you want to play around with it.
mongodb://appdb_user:ReallyStrongPassword@ds063240.mongolab.com:63240/appsdb
##Run the Application We have preconfigured the project with a simple development web server. The simplest way to start this server is:
npm start
or
nodemon -V server.js
Now browse to the app at http://localhost:8000/.
##Database Schema
categories collection is an array of different categories and their descriptions.
http://localhost:8000/api/categories
Example: [ { "_id": "54dfbddb4513947317f11661", "category": "Browsers", "description": "Web Browsers" }, { "_id": "54dfbec04513947317f11662", "category": "Cloud Storage", "description": "Cloud storage applications and services" } ]
Each category will get its own collection. If the collection does not exist before adding a new application, the API will handle creating the collection.
The category name will have spaces stripped/replaced with underscores and ' & ' will be replaced with a dash.
http://localhost:8000/api/browsers
http://localhost:8000/api/cloud_storage
Example of a category collection:[{"_id":"54dfcb3d61fa5dfecf20e185","appName":"Android Browser","fileName":"androidbrowser.png","complete":true,"stage":false,"fix":false,"linkDescription":""},{"_id":"54e00c3a61fa5dfecf20e186","appName":"Boat Browser","fileName":"boatbrowser.png","complete":true,"stage":false,"fix":false,"linkDescription":""}]
/api/routes.js has all the api calls and paths
