gradle-mesh

Gradle Plugin for Genitcs Mesh Headless CMS.

Goals

Work in Progress

This is a proof of concept for interacting with a Gentics Mesh server. The initial MVP prototype will explore concepts to:

• Define and merge schemas/microshemas definitions
• Publish and release nodes to server
• Read nodes from the server and wire up results to task inputs/outputs

Current Features

• MeshExtension - basic login configuration
• MeshLogin - Initializes client login session
• DefaultMeshTask - Abstract class guaranteed to run after the MeshRestClient is fully authenticated
• LoadMeshProject - Loads all microschemas, schemas, and nodes, for the specified projectName, and makes them available in a concurrent-safe NamedDomainObjectContainer

Getting Started

Until the plugin is stable and a release published to the Gradle plugin portal, one must add the project directly to your own project sources, then consume it similar to the following:

settings.gradle

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
        maven { url = "https://maven.gentics.com/maven2" }
    }
}

rootProject.name = 'website'

includeBuild "./gradle-mesh"

build.gradle

import io.waweb.mesh.gradle.tasks.*
 
plugins {
	id 'base'
	id 'io.waweb.mesh'
}

mesh {
	host = "localhost"
	port = 8080
	useSsl = false
	userName = "admin"
	password = "admin"
	// Or use a secure token instead...
	// apiKey = "SECURE_API_KEY"
}

meshProject {
	microschemas.all { println "Loaded Microscema: ${it.payload.name}" }
	schemas.all { println "Loaded Schema: ${it.payload.name}" }
	nodes.all { println "Loaded Node: ${it.payload.uuid}" }
	doLast { println "Root Node: ${rootNode.get().uuid}" }
}

build {
	dependsOn meshProject
}

The configuration may also be set with the following environment variables:

• GRADLE_MESH_HTTP_HOST
• GRADLE_MESH_HTTP_PORT
• GRADLE_MESH_HTTP_SSL_ENABLE
• GRADLE_MESH_API_KEY
• GRADLE_MESH_USER
• GRADLE_MESH_PASS
• GRADLE_MESH_PROJECT

Please refer to the Gentics Mesh Documentation for more info on how to request an API key.
