h00d cms is my very simple, very barebones cms.

It runs on a node.js server envivronment and handles request with the web framework express.js. The view engine used is handlebars.js. The data is stored with MongoDB.

If you want to see it in action, you can visit a live-version deploayed wiht heroku here: maltesblog.herokuapp.com

For the backend, the management of the content, you can check here: maltesblog.herokuapp.com/admin

The data is stored in three schemas:

• Category
  • name: String
• Post
  • title: String
  • text: String
  • excerpt: String
  • imgurl: String
  • date: Date
  • category: ObjectID of an element of the Category collection
• StaticContent
  • title: String
  • content: String
  • imgurl: String

"StaticContent" is where sites like the about page or the contact page are stored.

Express listens for two main routes:

The frontend under the root "/" as well as the backend under "/admin".

For the different get and posts request it gets the needed data from the MongoDB database with the help of mongoose.

The views are obivously filled with the contents of the database.

What I really like is how the main navigation bar is made up of the different categories.

I implemented helpers for handlebars used in a variety of cases, most notably to switch between left and right sided text displays in the overview.

As of yet, nothing is really responsive. There only exists a desktop-display.
