# Ponzu
Ponzu is a powerful and efficient open-source HTTP server framework and CMS. It
provides automatic, free, and secure HTTP/2 over TLS (certificates obtained via
[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org)), a useful CMS and scaffolding to
generate content editors, and a fast HTTP API on which to build modern applications.

Ponzu is released under the BSD-3-Clause license (see LICENSE).
(c) [Boss Sauce Creative, LLC](https://bosssauce.it)

## Why?
With the rise in popularity of web/mobile apps connected to JSON HTTP APIs, better
tools to support the development of content servers and management systems are necessary.
Ponzu fills the void where you want to reach for Wordpress to get a great CMS, or Rails for
rapid development, but need a fast JSON response in a high-concurrency environment.

**Because you want to turn this:**
```bash
$ ponzu generate content song title:"string" artist:"string" rating:"int" opinion:"string" spotify_url:"string"
```

**Into this:**

## Wiki
For more detailed information, check out the [wiki](https://github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu/wiki)

## Installation

```
$ go get github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu/...
```

## Requirements
Go 1.8+

Since HTTP/2 Server Push is used, Go 1.8+ is required. However, it is not
required of clients conntecing to a Ponzu server to make HTTP/2 requests.

## Usage

```bash
$ ponzu [flags] command
```

## Commands

### new

Creates a 'ponzu' directory, or one by the name supplied as a parameter
immediately following the 'new' option in the $GOPATH/src directory. Note:
'new' depends on the program 'git' and possibly a network connection. If
there is no local repository to clone from at the local machine's $GOPATH,
'new' will attempt to clone the 'github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu' package from
over the network.

Example:
```bash
$ ponzu new myProject
> New ponzu project created at $GOPATH/src/myProject
```

Errors will be reported, but successful commands return nothing.

---

### generate, gen, g

Generate boilerplate code for various Ponzu components, such as `content`.

Example:
```bash
generator struct fields and built-in types...
| |
v v
$ ponzu gen content review title:"string" body:"string" rating:"int" tags:"[]string"
^
|
struct type
```

The command above will generate the file `content/review.go` with boilerplate
methods, as well as struct definition, and cooresponding field tags like:

```go
type Review struct {
Title string `json:"title"`
Body string `json:"body"`
Rating int `json:"rating"`
Tags []string `json:"tags"`
}
```

The generate command will intelligently parse more sophisticated field names
such as 'field_name' and convert it to 'FieldName' and vice versa, only where
appropriate as per common Go idioms. Errors will be reported, but successful
generate commands return nothing.

---

### build

From within your Ponzu project directory, running build will copy and move
the necessary files from your workspace into the vendored directory, and
will build/compile the project to then be run.

Optional flags:
- `-gocmd` sets the binary used when executing `go build` within `ponzu` build step

Example:
```bash
$ ponzu build
(or)
$ ponzu -gocmd=go1.8rc1 build # useful for testing
```

Errors will be reported, but successful build commands return nothing.

---

### run

Starts the HTTP server for the JSON API, Admin System, or both.
The segments, separated by a comma, describe which services to start, either
'admin' (Admin System / CMS backend) or 'api' (JSON API), and, optionally,
if the server should utilize TLS encryption - served over HTTPS, which is
automatically managed using Let's Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org)

Optional flags:
- `-port` sets the port on which the server listens for HTTP requests [defaults to 8080]
- `-httpsport` sets the port on which the server listens for HTTPS requests [defaults to 443]
- `--https` enables auto HTTPS management via Let's Encrypt (port is always 443)
- `--devhttps` generates self-signed SSL certificates for development-only (port is 10443)

Example:
```bash
$ ponzu run
(or)
$ ponzu -port=8080 --https run admin,api
(or)
$ ponzu run admin
(or)
$ ponzu -port=8888 run api
(or)
$ ponzu --devhttps run
```
Defaults to `$ ponzu -port=8080 run admin,api` (running Admin & API on port 8080, without TLS)

*Note:*
Admin and API cannot run on separate processes unless you use a copy of the
database, since the first process to open it receives a lock. If you intend
to run the Admin and API on separate processes, you must call them with the
'ponzu' command independently.

---

### upgrade

Will backup your own custom project code (like content, addons, uploads, etc) so
we can safely re-clone Ponzu from the latest version you have or from the network
if necessary. Before running `$ ponzu upgrade`, you should update the `ponzu`
package by running `$ go get -u github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu/...`

Example:
```bash
$ ponzu upgrade
```

---

### version, v

Prints the version of Ponzu your project is using. Must be called from within a
Ponzu project directory. By passing the `--cli` flag, the `version` command will
print the version of the Ponzu CLI you have installed.

Example:
```bash
$ ponzu version
> Ponzu v0.7.1
(or)
$ ponzu --cli version
> Ponzu v0.7.2
```

---

## Contributing

1. Checkout branch ponzu-dev
2. Make code changes
3. Test changes to ponzu-dev branch
- make a commit to ponzu-dev
- to manually test, you will need to use a new copy (ponzu new path/to/code), but pass the --dev flag so that ponzu generates a new copy from the ponzu-dev branch, not master by default (i.e. `$ponzu --dev new /path/to/code`)
- build and run with $ ponzu build and $ ponzu run
4. To add back to master:
- first push to origin ponzu-dev
- create a pull request
- will then be merged into master

_A typical contribution workflow might look like:_
```bash
# clone the repository and checkout ponzu-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu path/to/local/ponzu # (or your fork)
$ git checkout ponzu-dev

# install ponzu with go get or from your own local path
$ go get github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu/...
# or
$ cd /path/to/local/ponzu
$ go install ./...

# edit files, add features, etc
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m 'edited files, added features, etc'

# now you need to test the feature.. make a new ponzu project, but pass --dev flag
$ ponzu --dev new /path/to/new/project # will create $GOPATH/src/path/to/new/project

# build & run ponzu from the new project directory
$ cd /path/to/new/project
$ ponzu build && ponzu run

# push to your origin:ponzu-dev branch and create a PR at ponzu-cms/ponzu
$ git push origin ponzu-dev
# ... go to https://github.com/ponzu-cms/ponzu and create a PR
```

**Note:** if you intend to work on your own fork and contribute from it, you will
need to also pass `-fork=path/to/your/fork` (using OS-standard filepath structure),
where `path/to/your/fork` _must_ be within `$GOPATH/src`, and you are working from a branch
called `ponzu-dev`.

For example:
```bash
# ($GOPATH/src is implied in the fork path, do not add it yourself)
$ ponzu --dev -fork=github.com/nilslice/ponzu new /path/to/new/project
```
