Content

CMS for the #BreatheCode Platform

Here is an API of all the lessons on the platform: https://content.breatheco.de/static/api/lessons.json

Requirements:

1) Markdown based

All the content must be markdown based, to create new articles all you must do is add a new .md file in markdown syntax.

2) About the URLS

The CMS needs to be able to generate URLs with the following format:

https://content.breatheco.de/<type of content>/<article id>

For example:

  https://content.breatheco.de/lesson/html_explained
  https://content.breatheco.de/error/query_selector_missing_id
  https://content.breatheco.de/how-to/search_in_google

Note: more types of content can be added in the future.

3) Types of content:

This list of contents is just a draft, some can be deleted or more can be added.

Lessons: Long articles explaining big concepts like: HTML, JS Events, CSS Selectors, etc.
Error: Explanation of a particular error that typically occurs when coding, for example: "Cannot do map of undefined".
How To: Small articles/videos on different shot how to's, like: How to start a new react.js project.

Tagging content:

Contents can be tagged on the header of the markdown file; you can add as many tags as you want and later people will be able to search by tag.

There are two types of tags: Technology and Category.

Command Line Interface:

A small command-line tool has been developed to help manage the lessons.

$ node ./src/utils/cli.js update_lesson --slug all --statusTo draft --statusFrom null
$ node ./src/utils/cli.js update_lesson --slug learn-html --statusTo draft --statusFrom null
$ node ./src/utils/cli.js download_images --slug python-syntax --type external_images
