Development Workflow

Select adapter to use for each environment

At any time you can add or update domain entities

Define entities and data

Use CLI to create, delete or update entities

• Connect to entity repos (collections of predefined entities)
• Select entity from list (or create custom)
• Select properties to use (customize)

Update will take existing entity and ask you to add, delete or change properties

CLI examples

$ entity new user
User entity
select properties:
- name
- firstName [string] (first name)
- lastName [string] (last name)
- middleName [string] (middle name)
- age [integer]
- birthday [date]
- role [string]
- ...

Use entity resource retrieved from URL

$ entity new user -r bit.ly/abc123

Or use alias to resource (from local mapping to URL)

$ entity new user -a my-user

Properties

Each Entity may always have:

• ID (unique)
• owner (user who created it)
• refs (to other entities in app model)
• timestamps
  • created

Each Entity generates:

• entities/entity/[entity]-def.yml file
• entities/entity/data/[entity].json sample data (using faker)
• entities/entity/schema/[entity]-schema.json JSON schema
• entities/entity/schema/[entity]-schema.test.js JSON schema test using sample data file
