#Swig Tiny-CMS

Adds basic content management capability to your existing Express.js + Swig applications.

##Overview

• Support for Markdown content sections.
• File-based persistence.
• Works with Express 3.x and 4.x
• Works on Node.js clusters.
• WYSIWYG Markdown editor with live preview.

##Usage

New tag 'cms' will be registered with your Swig template engine. ContentId string as a parameter is required:

{% cms 'contentId' %}

After adding this tag, editable content section will be available to your authorized users.

Content will be saved in a file with contentId.md name.

The same content identifiers can be used if you would like to reuse content sections.

##Demo

##Installation

npm install swig-tiny-cms --save

##Configuration

Require Swig CMS

var swigCms = require('swig-tiny-cms');

After typical Express and Swig configuration, provide a way for Swig CMS to know when user is authorized to edit content via middleware.

app.use(function(req, res, next){
  swigCms.isAdmin(req.isAuthenticated());
  next();
});

Declare Swig Tiny-CMS options:

var options = {

  //content directory is required
  //should be shared directory when used in cluster
  contentDirectory: __dirname + '/content/',

  //optional array of custom CSS files to be used in editor
  css: ['//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootswatch/3.1.1-1/css/simplex/bootstrap.min.css'],

  //optional marked.js options
  //more info: https://github.com/chjj/marked
  markedOptions: { breaks: true }

};

Initialize Swig CMS

swigCms.initialize(swig, app, options);
