Get Started

To get started with Tamiat CMS, you have two options:

• 1# option: Making Tamiat your starting point.
• 2# option: Integrating Tamiat into an existing project.

Making Tamiat your starting point.

1. clone the CMS repository and install the dependencies

# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/tamiat/tamiat.git

# install the dependencies
npm install
# or
yarn install

2. Log in to firebase console using your google account and create a new firebase project.

3. In the authentication section, add a new user providing an email and a password.

4. Setup your database basic security rules by going to database section and open the rules tab. You can set your security rules as you like, but as a starting point you can make it like this:

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": true,
    ".write": "(auth.uid === yourUID) || (auth.uid === anOtherUID)"
  }
}

yourUID and anOtherUID are the uids of users with permission to write to the database. They look something like this "Lxgqp3FmcPVU6UYO6gNdkn1i0ok1". You can obtain a user uid from the authentication section in the firebase console.

5. Copy your project configurations from WEB SETUP (in authentication section) and paste them in config.js file by replacing the existing ones.

// replace the existing config object below
let config = {
  apiKey: "AIzaSyCnxuLX6AgMduDMLtSJVDNJhR8xuMNvs4Y",
  authDomain: "tamiat-demo.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://tamiat-demo.firebaseio.com/",
  projectId: "tamiat-demo",
  storageBucket: "",
  messagingSenderId: "188459960333"
};

6.Change the default project in the .firebaserc file to your own by changing tamiat-demo to your project ID.

7. run the local dev server.

npm run dev

8. Access the admin interface by navigating to localhost:8080/admin.

9. sign in with your previous email and password.

10. Enjoy!

Integrating Tamiat into an existing project

1. Create a new vue.js project based on webpack template.

vue init webpack my-project
# install webpack template dependencies
npm install

2. Install the required dependencies by Tamiat

cd my-project

# install development dependencies
npm install node-sass sass-loader --save-dev

# install production dependencies
npm install vue-router bulma firebase vuefire font-awesome vue-quill-editor 

3. In main.js file, import the external stylesheets and the necessary plugins and activate them.

import router from './router'
import VueFire from 'vuefire'
import VueQuillEditor from 'vue-quill-editor'

// import external stylesheets
import fontAwesome from '../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css'
import bulma from '../node_modules/bulma/css/bulma.css'

Vue.use(VueFire)  // activate vuefire plugin
Vue.use(VueQuillEditor)  // activate vue-quill-editor

• also don't forget to add the router property to the vue instance.

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  router,  // this property should be added to the vue instance
  template: '<App/>',
  components: { App }
})

4. Clean up your App.vue file by deleting the extra content and making it similar to that:

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <router-view></router-view>
  </div>
</template>

5. Now, open the Tamiat CMS repo and copy the following folders and files:

# folders to be copied
# ====================

Tamiat/src/components => my-project/src/components # the building blocks components of the admin interface

Tamiat/src/mixins => my-project/src/mixins # the shared functionalities between components

Tamiat/src/router => my-project/src/router # the routing logic of the CMS

# files to be copied
# ==================

Tamiat/src/Admin.vue => my-project/src/Admin.vue # the admin's interface main view

Tamiat/src/Home.vue => my-project/src/Home.vue # the default home page

Tamiat/src/config.js => my-project/src/config.js # the firebase configuration file

6. Once this is done, you can just follow the same instructions of the first option above starting from step 2.

7. Enjoy!
