Usage

First, you need to create a config.json using the config.json.template file.

• URI : MongoDB server address (mongodb://...)
• Database : MongoDB database name
• Secret : A secret key to encrypt JWT
• GmailAddress : A gmail address if you wish to send confirmation emails
• GmailPassword : The password associated with the gmail address obviously
• StripeKey : Your Stripe Key if you wish to integrate Stripe
• BucketName : Your Google Cloud Storage Bucket's name to store user files (images, binaries, plain text...)

You can also pass all these variables as environment variables:

• MONGODB_URI
• DATABASE
• SECRET
• GMAIL_ADDRESS
• GMAIL_PASSWORD
• STRIPE_KEY
• BUCKET_NAME

Note: If a config.json file is found, it will override environment variables.

Then, you need to get your Google Service Account Key:

• Go to this page.
• Create a new account with the Project -> Owner role.
• Download your private key as JSON.
• Move it to the root of this project.
• Rename it google_credentials.json.

You can also pass the content of this json file as an environment variable:

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS = {"type": "service_account", "project_id": "projectID", ...}

You're all set to run Backpulse!

go build -o backpulse && backpulse

Note: By default Backpulse runs on port 8000, but can be overridden with the PORT environment variable.

core's Issues

Please add support for GraphQL

there is on reliable CMS that can compete with any headless cms of node.js like Strapi.
if sone contributes and GraphQL then it will be a step close to CMS like Strapi.

can core support Existing MongoDB data? or does it require a new collection, document?
