NAME
Ado::Manual - Getting started with Ado
SYNOPSIS
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 well structured, MVC Mojolicious application. It comes with default configuration and a model layer, plugged in by Mojolicious::Plugin::DSC. An SQLite database is bundled in the distribution at etc/ado.sqlite
to get started quickly.
Ado provides additional plugins and commands, which promote RAD, good practices, and team-work when starting new projects. Semantic UI is included in the distribution and the default Ado page is a good example for usage.
INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend using Ado with your own Perl (not the system-wide)!
Ado is meant to be installed into a folder of your choice. By default it goes into the siteprefix
folder of your non-system Perl distro. When installing Ado in its own folder, you may want to add the /path/to/ado/bin
to your $PATH
environment variable and when using Ado as a module /path/to/ado/lib
to $PERL5LIB
.
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
./Build installdeps
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
To see more installation methods and details, go to Ado::Manual::Installation.
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
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 or fixing typos in the documentation. 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.
CONTINUOUS INTEGRATION
We would like to know that our software is always in good health so we count on friendly developers and organizations to install and test it continuously.
