It's nothing but a simple blog API written with the help of expressjs and sqlite only. I wanted it to be as fast as possible while supporting most famous technologies so that many users will be comfortable using it. still, the database and routers are decoupled, if you want you can just replace anything and it should not affect the other.
NOTE: currently I have not added any type of security mechanism whatsoever. API will be open to everyone.
A blog is the site you visit. Assuming you plan to support multiple blogs, like food.fosslife.com for food blogs, travel.fosslife.com for travel blogs etc, you have to first register the blog with a proper name.
To register blog use /blog/register route. it requires only Title and Description (case-sensitive JSON key-value pairs). will add more attributes as I proceed.
{
"Title" : "fosslife",
"Description" : "A blog of randomness"
}After that, you need to register the author. Authors are universal, like Spark can write posts for both food.fosslife.com and travel.fosslife.com. Same process goes for registering author. use /author/register route with JSON:
{
"Name" : "Spark",
"Bio" : "Programming Enthusiast, Traveller, Foodie"
}Each blog has posts, for right now, the REST-api is not so RESTful considering hierarchy, it should have been something like blog -> post -> search_criteria etc, but I messed up while starting and made it like post -> blog -> search_criteria which I am too lazy to fix now. Anyway, to register a Post, use post/register route with following schema:
{
"title": "How to JavaScript",
"slug": "how-to-js",
"author": "Spark",
"excerpt": "in this post, learn how to js",
"preview": "/* preview image URL here */",
"post": "Entire post as markdown or whatever format you want to support on UI",
"tags": [
"coding",
"js"
],
"blog": "Fosslife // Case sensitive",
"category": "programming"
}I hope all the fields are self explanatory, for
