Backend

Logging in

• url: /backend
• default user: admin@blog.test / admin

There's no interface for changing user's information yet. You can change user's password using tinker, _(*2)

$ php artisan tinker
> $user = App\Models\User::find(1);
> $user->password = bcrypt('newPassword');
> $user->save();

Posts Content

The body of the posts are saved in markdown. Laravel uses Erusev's Parsedown package to transform it into HTML. Backend UI uses SimpleMDE to show a friendly markdown editor, _(*3)

Tables

All list tables were made using Spatie's Vue Table Component package. Pagination and search are server-side, _(*4)

Changing theme

Main app colors are defined by Tailwind CSS colors., _(*5)

You can manage themes from the backend on backend/themes. Only one theme can be active at a time., _(*6)

Frontend

Posts List

In order to see a post, it must be visible and publish_date must be in past., _(*7)

Algolia's Search (currently untested)

There's a box on the top-right corner for searching posts that uses algolia instant search javascript component. You can define your Algolia credentials in the .env file., _(*8)

Featured posts

A featured post is visible from anywhere on the frontend UI. It's showed on the sidebar present in any page. It must be published and visible as well., _(*9)

Inspiration

When I got stuck developing this project, I used Freek Van Der Herten's blog to find a way to solve the problem or inspiration for future features. Thanks for sharing it! 👍, _(*10)
