Why ?

Mainly used to address a problem we had at Openovate Labs. I needed a library to address end-to-end package reusage. Why build the same register/login form over and over for different projects ? Why do admin interfaces need to look different from each other ? Why does testing need to change across projects ? (Not the actual test files...)

Packages

Packages in Eve are different from npm packages. Packages in Eve are more like mini apps in your project that surround a particular object like a post. A post package in Eve is plug and play with the REST, admin and general front end usage pre built in. Packages in Eve should be developed as independant from each other as best as possible.

Generating a Package

1. As an example copy the post folder in schema to the package folder.
2. In terminal type eve generate post
3. In terminal type eve
4. In your browser go to [YOUR ADMIN URL]/post

Generating a Relation

1. As an example copy the post folder in schema to the package folder.
2. Also copy the user folder in schema to package folder.
3. Also copy the post_user folder in schema to the package folder.
4. In terminal type eve generate post_user
5. In terminal type eve generate post
6. In terminal type eve
7. In your browser go to [YOUR ADMIN URL]/post/update/1 you should see a tab called Users
