How it works

User makes request
- Dashboard receives request
  - URL recognized as Dashboard or Module content
    - User receives content from Dashboard server
  - Dashboard forwards request to Application server
    - Application server returns content to Dashboard
      - User receives content from Application server

Deplyment instructions

First set up NodeJS and your Dashboard server with any modules you want

$ mkdir my-dashboard-server
$ cd my-dashboard-server
$ npm init -y
$ npm install @layeredapps/dashboard
$ npm install @layeredapps/organizations        # optional
$ npm install @layeredapps/stripe-subscriptions # optional
$ npm install @layeredapps/stripe-connect       # optional  
$ echo "require('@layeredapps/dashboard').start(__dirname)" > main.js

Add your configuration to your package.json

"dashboard": {
  "title": "My Web App",
  "modules": [
    "@layeredapps/stripe-subscriptions"
  ]
}

Install the driver for your preferred database (read about storage backends and caching)

$ npm install sqlite3      # perfect for dev/testing
$ npm install pg pg-hstore # for postgresql
$ npm install mysql2       # for mysql and mariadb
$ npm install tedious      # for mssql server
$ npm install ibm_db       # for db2

Start your server (read about configuration variables)

$ export APPLICATION_SERVER=http://localhost:3000
$ export APPLICATION_SERVER_TOKEN=secret
$ node main.js

Dashboard will start at http://localhost:8000
