Safis CMS

lerna GitHub license

A headless, git-based and GraphQL native CMS.

Safis CMS connects to a Git repository and manages its content using GraphQL and a user friendly UI (coming soon...).

Features

Create custom content types for your application by defining their structure and adding validations for each individual field.

Safis CMS uses GitHub OAuth Apps as default authenticatication and authorization method to use your repositories and manage your content.

Safis CMS includes a GraphQL API that will help you read, manage and deliver your content through a flexible schema that will be dynamically updated based on the existing content types.

User friendly UI (coming soon...)

A web application designed for both content and development teams.

Database free

All of your content will be saved directly into your destination git repository.

Getting Started

Requirements

In order for you to use Safis CMS packages you will need to meet the following requirements:

  1. A GitHub personal access token that has the repo scope selected.

  2. A GitHub OAuth App so you can provide its Client ID and Client secret in order to authenticate to GitHub and perform git operations on your behalf.

To see the full list of requirements please visit our requirements section.

Configuration

We will use environment variables in this example to configure our safis-cms-server.

Please see our configuration section to know more about how to configure you local environment.

Installation

$ npm install safis-cms-server

For this example, we will also be using the dotenv npm package.

Usage

Create and start a server using the safis-cms-server npm package:

import { createServer } from 'safis-cms-server'
import dotenv from 'dotenv'

dotenv.config()

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000

const enablePlayground = process.env.ENABLE_GRAPHQL_PLAYGROUND === undefined
  || process.env.ENABLE_GRAPHQL_PLAYGROUND === 'true'

const configs = {
  cookieSecret: process.env.COOKIE_SECRET,
  git: {
    ownerSecret: process.env.GIT_OWNER_SECRET,
    owner: process.env.GIT_OWNER,
    repo: process.env.GIT_REPO,

    visibility: process.env.GIT_REPO_VISIBILITY,
    defaultBranch: process.env.GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH,
    paths: {
      root: process.env.GIT_ROOT_FOLDER,
      contentTypes: process.env.GIT_CONTENT_TYPES_FOLDER,
      content: process.env.GIT_CONTENT_FOLDER,
    },
  },
  logger: true,
  oatuhCallback: process.env.OAUTH_CALLBACK_URL,
  oauthClientId: process.env.GIT_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID,
  oauthClientSecret: process.env.GIT_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET,
  oauthScope: process.env.GIT_OAUTH_SCOPE?.split(','),
  oauthLogin: process.env.OAUTH_LOGIN_URL,
  enablePlayground,
}

const server = createServer(configs) // creates a Fastify server

server.listen(PORT, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    server.log.error(`Failed to start Server: ${JSON.stringify(err)}`)
    process.exit(1)
  }

  server.log.info(`Server running on port ${PORT}`)
})

You can additionally add a client to your server so you can manage your content through a more user friendly interface. Coming soon...

How is the repo structured?
