It isn’t pretty, and I’ll add some interface files and comments at some point, but in case anyone else is also trying to do web development in mirage I thought I’d make an early “announcement” of
So far, starting from mirage-www, I have hacked together basic session handling support (session.ml using memorystore.ml), initial login framework (login.ml), persistence over baarskeerder (persist.ml – just a stub, plus idiomatic usage in…), basic html CRUD interface for admin database operations driven by dyntype information (dbforms.ml), and multipart form upload support (mime.ml).
I intend to use _javascript_ for the main UI so I’ll add a dyntype-based RESTful interface next, I think, and tidy up the authentication a bit.
I’m developing/testing on Unix/sockets at the moment and this is currently hardcoded in places (in persist.ml).
For Unix you need to create (touch) a file called “2049” (used by the blkdev) before running it.
Only built-in account (for access to db forms) is currently “admin”/”password” :-)
P.s. most browsers don’t set/send cookies for domain “localhost” (because it has no dots), but they do for “127.0.0.1”, so use the latter to be able to login.
Cheers
Chris
