Futureflix

hapi-rethinkdb-dash is outdated and currently unmaintained. You can still benefit from the ideas within this code.

We started learn hapi as a learning path for the hapi web framework. Become a hapi hero by following the tutorial series.

You’ll build a complete app from start to finish. From zero to hero!

Project Overview

This is a project boilerplate based on Node.js and RethinkDB. It reduces the initial effort which comes for every project. You can start with the fun things and skip the implementation of an account system (for the 25th time).

Development of Hapi-RethinkDB-Dash is ongoing and we plan to implement new features over time. The following list depicts the already available features

Accounts
- Create new Accounts (Email/Password)
- Login
- Edit account information (Name, Homepage)
- Change Password
- Delete Account
Environment-based database access
- different DBs for development, testing and production environments (per NODE_ENV)
Test Coverage

Stack

Hapi-RethinkDB-Dash requires

Node.js
RethinkDB

Besides the core technologies it uses the following components (this list is very likely incomplete):

hapi — Node.js web framework
RethinkDB — Open-Source database for the realtime web
Handlebars — HTML templating engine
bcrypt — For password encryption
Twitter Bootstrap v3 — UI component & layout library
Lab — Node.js testing framework

Configuration & Install

Install Node.js and RethinkDB before usage.

git clone git@github.com:fs-opensource/hapi-rethinkdb-dash.git
cd hapi-rethinkdb-dash
npm install

The database configuration is placed in server/config/database.js.

nano server/config/database.js

Currently this project does not use any handlebars helpers. That's why git deletes the helpers folder from within the views folder. Enabling helper classes requires you to uncomment the respective line in server/config/settings.js.

The password reset functionality requires a valid mail configuration. Change the email and baseUrl settings to make things work.

nano server/config/settings.js

Start server

node server
