This was a fun project I worked on for about a week. I thought that, given how far web browsers have gotten, it should be possible to have a CMS completely in your browser. So, this project is an example of how that's possible.
The code isn't the best, but it doesn't need to be. It should be a fun read for anyone interested in IndexedDB and static site compilation in-browser.
Assets are committed to the repository, so after git cloning you should be able to open index.html right in your browser. This is how I test locally!
Alternatively, you can run npm install && npm start to start a
local server.
Before committing code, make sure to run npm run prettier to clean up coding
standards.
If you update dependencies, run npm install && npm run build-assets. This
just copies stuff out of dist in node_modules/*, there are no compilation
steps for this project.
CKEditor is another beast. To update that, visit their website and use the interactive custom build generator. Select the following plugins:
- Autoformat
- Block quote
- Bold
- Heading
- Image
- Image caption
- Image style
- Image toolbar
- Image upload
- Indent
- Italic
- Link
- List
- Media embed
- Paste from Office
- Table
- Table toolbar
- Text transformation
- Alignment
- Code
- Code block
- Horizontal line
- Image resize
- Image insert
- Indent block
- List style
- Media embed toolbar
- Remove format
- Strikethrough
- Subscript
- Superscript
- Underline
Phew!
