Content Management System

This smart contract is a decentralized content management system built on the Internet Computer (IC) using Azle. The system allows authors to create articles, allows editors to publish the articles created by authors, and allows admins to manage users and categories.

You can always refer to The Azle Book for more in-depth documentation.

Requirements

• Node.js
• IC SDK

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/ICPHubPH/content-management-system-icp.git
cd content-management-system-icp

dfx is the tool you will use to interact with the IC locally and on mainnet. If you don't already have it installed:

npm run dfx_install

Next you will want to start a replica, which is a local instance of the IC that you can deploy your canisters to:

npm run replica_start

If you ever want to stop the replica:

npm run replica_stop

Now you can deploy your canister locally:

npm install
npm run canister_deploy_local

To call the methods on your canister:

npm run canister_call <METHOD_NAME>

Assuming you have created a cycles wallet and funded it with cycles, you can deploy to mainnet like this:

npm run canister_deploy_mainnet

Deploying Local Internet Identity Instance

To deploy the local Internet Identity instance, run:

npm run internet_identity_deploy_local

Generating declarations

To generate declarations for your dapp, run:

dfx generate cms
