Setting up a project

I tested on OSx so Linux will probably work. Window I have no ideas, because I don't have window device, may god bless your soul.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/vodoanminhhieuvn/drogon_blog.git

2. Install dependencies:

• Please follow the instructions on Drogon to install Drogon.
• To add third-parties library, create library folder.

    mkdir library
    cd library
    git clone https://github.com/Thalhammer/jwt-cpp.git
    git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
    git clone https://github.com/trusch/libbcrypt.git
    cd ..

3. Build the project:

   cd drogon-blog
   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake ..
   make

4. Run the server:

   ./wblog

5. Open your Postman and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access the blog.

Databases

Initialize the database

Run init.sql to create the database and table

Configure the database

By default, the project is configured to connect to PostgreSQL database. You need to update your own config.json and model.json file to connect to your own database.

You want to create a new model, you can use the following command:

    drogon_ctl create model models

Deployment (I don't know when it will be deployed because I'm broke :->)
