Bionic CMS is an open source content management system which aims to be flexible and extendible for others to use.

This project is entirely api based (Headless CMS) with a complementary ui for people to use (Under Development will add here when complete), you can use the full capabilities of the api after making a account. Alternatively if you want you can clone this repo download postgresql and the rest of this projects dependencies and run the project yourself.

Each created workspace has an api key which can be implemented in all sorts of applications, this allows for users to be able to do whatever they want to make their work easier, or more fun, want to make a CLI app with your own saved content? You can.

Make sure you have Postgresql version 15.1 or higher. Yarn after cloning the repository to install dependencies Add your own db connection string for prisma Copy the queries in "manual_queries.sql" and paste it into your sql database npx prisma db push

And with that you should be good to go, have fun!

The authenthication part of this project is very barebones made with bcrypt and jwt which I admit, is obviously not the securest thing to do, but it works. Now I did this because this project is meant to be extendible, if were to have used a third party auth provider then it would be harder for users to do what they want. I made this part of the project as barebones as possible so that it is easy to add your own implementation the way you want.

Pushes a new user to the database by accepting the username and password fields.

Signs a database user in with the fields of username and password then, it generates the JWT which should be added to the Authorization header as: "Authorization": "Bearer (YOUR TOKEN HERE)".

When I first began to work on this project I was quite eager to implement as many things I could in a clean manner of course. But after you begin to work on something for so long you begin to focus on finishing over anything in order to show some results and so thats what kind of happened with this project. Now I do plan to come back and work on it and, do a rework on some design decisions I decided to take at the very end in order to finish because, I do feel like a lot of the internal functionality can be improved and optimized for better performance and code cleanliness. But for now Im taking a small break from this project.
