Taboo CMS

Notes

We have finally launched new Taboo CMS app together with updated Taboo CMS Core module. If you are about to start new project please use this module:

@taboo/cms

Documentation

It is using Koa framework. In your own app you have to install it as a dependency:

npm i taboo-cms

To start the server from your own app:

const { start, logger } = require('taboo-cms');

start().catch(error => {
  logger.error(error);
});

It will read config and all modules including their config, controllers, models and services from the following app structure:

app
    assets
        fonts
        img
        scripts
        styles
