What It Looks Like

Getting Started

To get started with Tamiat CMS, you have two options:

• Making Tamiat your starting point.
• Integrating Tamiat into an existing project.

Making Tamiat Your Starting Point

1. Clone the CMS repository and install the dependencies.

# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/tamiat/tamiat.git

# install the dependencies
npm install
# or
yarn

2. Log in to firebase console using your google account and create a new firebase project.

3. In the authentication section, add a new user by providing an email and a password.

4. Setup your database basic security rules by going to the database.rules.json file in your project and fill in your UID.

{
  "rules": {
    ".write": "(auth.uid === yourUID) || (auth.uid === anOtherUID)" // you can chain these together like so

yourUID and anOtherUID are the uids of users with permission to write to the database. They look something like this "Lxgqp3FmcPVU6UYO6gNdkn1i0ok1". You can obtain a user uid from the authentication section in the firebase console.

5. Copy your project configurations from WEB SETUP (in authentication section of the firebase console) and paste them in config.js file by replacing the existing ones.

// replace the existing config object below
let config = {
  apiKey: "AIzaSyCnxuLX6AgMduDMLtSJVDNJhR8xuMNvs4Y",
  authDomain: "tamiat-demo.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://tamiat-demo.firebaseio.com/",
  projectId: "tamiat-demo",
  storageBucket: "",
  messagingSenderId: "188459960333"
};

6. Run the firebase init command (if you haven't installed firebase yet, do so), select your project from the list, use the default database rules already present database.rules.json, choose dist as your public directory and configure the project as a single-page app.

7. You can now use firebase deploy to deploy the security rules you just entered (to deploy the actual web app you must first use npm run build or yarn build).

8. Run the local dev server with npm run dev or yarn dev.

9. Access the admin interface by navigating to localhost:8080/admin.

10. Sign in with your previous email and password.

11. Enjoy!

Integrating Tamiat Into an Existing Project

1. Create a new vue.js project based on webpack template.

vue init webpack my-project
# install webpack template dependencies
npm install

2. Install the required dependencies by Tamiat.

cd my-project

# install development dependencies
npm install node-sass sass-loader --save-dev

# install production dependencies
npm install moment vue-router bulma firebase vuefire font-awesome vue-quill-editor 

3. In main.js file, import the external stylesheets and the necessary plugins and activate them.

import router from './router'
import VueFire from 'vuefire'
import VueQuillEditor from 'vue-quill-editor'

// import external stylesheets
import fontAwesome from '../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css'
import bulma from '../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css'

Vue.use(VueFire)  // activate vuefire plugin
Vue.use(VueQuillEditor)  // activate vue-quill-editor

Remember, don't forget to add the router property to the vue instance.

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  router,  // this property should be added to the vue instance
  template: '<App/>',
  components: { App }
})

4. Clean up your App.vue file by deleting the extra content and making it similar to that:

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <router-view></router-view>
  </div>
</template>

5. Now, open the Tamiat CMS repo and copy the following folders and files:

Folders to be copied:

Source	Target	Description
Tamiat/src/components	my-project/src/components	The building blocks components of the admin interface
Tamiat/src/mixins	my-project/src/mixins	The shared functionalities between components
Tamiat/src/router	my-project/src/router	The routing logic of the CMS

Files to be copied:

Source	Target	Description
Tamiat/src/Admin.vue	my-project/src/Admin.vue	The admin's interface main view
Tamiat/src/Home.vue	my-project/src/Home.vue	The default home page
Tamiat/src/config.js	my-project/src/config.js	The firebase configuration file

6. Once this is done, you can just follow the same instructions of the first option above starting from step 2.

7. Enjoy!
