Entry

Rudimentary content system for Express + CouchDB + HBS.

Define one or more types of entries.
Create, update, delete entries.
Relate entries to each other in a hierarchy.

Entry can be used for instance to build a simple about section with a hierarchical document structure.

Installation

Add the following line to your ndistro file and rebuild:

module developmentseed entry

Entry assumes the expresslane module to be available that exposes an entryTypes object describing all available entry types on (see usage)

var entry_settings = require('expresslane').app.set('settings')('entry')
