IF-BackOffice

Back Office for the Festival mobile applications.

It aims to provide data for both android and iOS apps through a simple API, so that the crew can update both applications without updating any code

As an example, send a request to /api/artists to retrieve all the artists and their associated data.

Information

The project uses slim framework : http://www.slimframework.com/

Here is what non slim framework files stand for :

base.sql

A dump of the database that we use when we move to another server to install the database

Installation

To have the project running properly, put all the files in your web server file system

Use base.sql to create your MySQL database with all the tables.

Then you need to create the file src/parameters.ini to set up your database connection :

authorizedLogins[] = login1
authorizedLogins[] = login2
authorizedLogins[] = login3
...

[website]
base_url = http://localhost/your/base/path

[connection]
db_driver = mysql
db_user =
db_password =

[dsn]
host =
dbname =

Your backoffice is now available!

Testing

We have no unit tests because we have very few logic in our code. We only use casperjs to run functional tests on the application.

The documentation is waiting for you there : http://casperjs.org/

You need to input three parameters when you run a test : backoffice url, login and password.

Run the authentication test:

casperjs test test/authentication.js --url="yoururl" --login="yourlogin" --password="yourpassword"

Run all the tests in the test/ folder:

casperjs test test/ --url="yoururl" --login="yourlogin" --password="yourpassword"

Please do not run the tests on the production server, test data might appear in the applications that pull data from it.
