NAME

Ado::Manual - Getting started with Ado

SYNOPSIS

cd where/is/Ado
bin/ado daemon
Server available at http://127.0.0.1:3000

DESCRIPTION

Ado is a framework for web projects based on Mojolicious, written in the Perl programming language.

Ado is a typical Mojo application yet it adds some default configuration and a model layer - Mojolicious::Plugin::DSC. An SQLite database is bundled in the distribution at etc/ado.sqlite to get started quickly.

INSTALLATION

Ado is meant to be installed into a folder of your choice. It can go into the siteprefixexp folder of your non-system Perl distro or in its own folder.

We do not recommend using Ado with your system Perl!

Get a precompiled Perl distro like "Citrus Perl" (http://www.citrusperl.com/download.html) or "ActivePerl Community Edition" (http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads) for your OS, or build your own using App::perlbrew.

Ado can be downloaded from CPAN and installed manually or installed directly from CPAN using cpan or cpanm commandline tools.

MANUAL

To install manually Ado after downloading, run the following commands:

tar -zxf Ado-X.XX.tar.gz
cd Ado-X.XX/
perl Build.PL --install_base $HOME/opt/ado
#or simply
perl Build.PL
./Build installdeps
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

CPAN

cpanm Ado
#or
cpan[1]> install Ado
Running install for module 'Ado'
Running make for B/BE/BEROV/Ado-0.23.tar.gz
...  
...
  BEROV/Ado-0.23.tar.gz
./Build install install  -- OK

PERLBREW

Installing Ado under your own perlbrew environment

perlbrew init
perlbrew install -n perl-5.18.1 --as ado -j 3
perlbrew switch ado
perlbrew install-cpanm
cpanm Ado

SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION

After installing, you can find documentation with the perldoc command. To use perldoc for reading documentation you may need to add the full path to Ado lib/Perl5 directory to PERL5LIB environment variable in case you passed the --install_base to Build.PL.

perldoc Ado
perldoc Ado::Manual #this page

For better experience run the ado application and read the documentation from your browser.

$HOME/opt/ado/bin/ado daemon

If you installed ado in your Perl distro, you can simply type:

ado daemon

Go to http:/localhost:3000/perldoc

You can report bugs and suggest features at http://github.com/kberov/Ado/issues. Bugs will be considered and fixed as time permits. Feel invited to make pull requests for your contributions.

CONTRIBUTING

Of course anybody can contribute by reporting issues via github. To be able to contribute with code some rules need to be kept. This is mandatory for any community project. Generally the rules outlined in Mojolicious::Guides::Contributing apply for Ado too. For specific to Ado rules see Ado::Manual::Contributing.

We expect that you know how to write perl Modules and are familiar with Mojolicious.

REST API

Ado strives for strict separation of concerns. The best way to achieve this is to fully separate the client code from the server code. Ado is ideally suited for the purpose thanks to Mojolicious. Every resource is accessible via the REST API. We follow closely and elaborate on the recommendations in "RESTful Service Best Practices" at www.RestApiTutorial.com. See Ado::Manual::RESTAPI.

PLUGINS

Ado plugins work the same way as Mojolicious::Plugins and share the same common base trough Ado::Plugin. Ado plugins have one small additional feature. They can load their own configuration from $ENV{MOJO_HOME}/etc/plugins/plugin_name.conf. Business-specific applications for an Ado-based system are usually implemented as plugins. One way to contribute to Ado is by writing plugins.

See Ado::Manual::Plugins and Ado::Plugin for more information.
