Quick Start

Step One: Create and annotate your POJO's

Create your Rest Model. The only mandatory annotation is @RestModel. This annotation is where you describe the name and /slug of your model. You should also take a look at the awesome collection of Elepy annotations.

@RestModel(name = "Products", slug = "/products")
public class Product {

    @Identifier
    private String productId;
    
    @Text(value = TextType.TEXTAREA, maximumLength = 100)
    private String shortDescription;
    
    @Text(TextType.HTML)//WYSIWYG editor
    private String htmlDescription;

    @PrettyName("Product Name")
    @Required
    @Unique
    private String name;

    @Number(minimum = 0)
    private BigDecimal price;

    @Number(minimum = 0)
    private int stockLeft;

    //Getters and Setters. I like to use Lombok to automate this :D
}

Step Two: Configure Elepy

public static void main(String[] args) {
    DB database = mongo.getDB("product-database");

    new Elepy()
        .registerDependency(DB.class, database)
        .withIPAddress("localhost")
        .onPort(7777)
        .addModel(Product.class)
        //Add an Elepy extension
        //The AdminPanel/CMS is a great start :D
        .addExtension(new ElepyAdminPanel())
        .start();

}

Step Three: Enjoy!

You can now login to the Elepy CMS by going to http://localhost:7777/admin. The username and password is admin. You can change at the 'Users' interface.
