Chronos CMS
===========

[](#chronos-cms)

---

A developer friendly headless CMS built by [C4studio](http://c4studio.ro).

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

It's as easy as:

```
composer require c4studio/chronos

```

After composer has run add following lines to the providers\[\] array in `app/config/app.php`:

```
...
Chronos\Scaffolding\ScaffoldingServiceProvider::class,
Chronos\Content\ContentServiceProvider::class,
...
```

### Install dependencies

[](#install-dependencies)

You also need to add the service providers for all the dependencies in `app/config/app.php`:

```
...
Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class,
Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,
Lavary\Menu\ServiceProvider::class,
...
```

And also add the class aliases in the `$aliases[]` array:

```
...
'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class,
'Menu' => Lavary\Menu\Facade::class,
...
```

### Publish assets

[](#publish-assets)

Next we need to publish all the assets belonging to Chronos:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public

```

Note 1: if you would like to overwrite existing files, use the --force switch Note 2: if you wish to only publish Chronos assets, you might want to use the --provider flag.

### Prepare User model

[](#prepare-user-model)

Next we need to prepare the User model to work with Chronos.

1. First, let's move our User model into the App\\Models namespace. It's just more organized this way.

```
mkdir app/Models
mv app/User.php app/Models/User.php

```

2. Open User.php and change the namespace to `namespace App\Models;`
3. Add the ChronosUser trait to our model:

```
...
use Notifiable, ChronosUser;
...
```

4. Next, add some values to the appends\[\] array:

```
...
/**
 * The accessors to append to the model's array form.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $appends = ['endpoints', 'name'];
...
```

5. Lastly, don't forget to tell Laravel where to look for our User model. Change the line in `app/config/auth.php` to:

```
...
'model' => App\Models\User::class,
...
```

### Set APP\_URL

[](#set-app_url)

Chronos requires you to set APP\_URL in your .env file

```
APP_URL=https://chronos.ro

```

### Run migrations

[](#run-migrations)

Almost done. We need to run the migrations and seed our database:

```
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class=\\Chronos\\Scaffolding\\Seeds\\DatabaseSeeder
php artisan db:seed --class=\\Chronos\\Content\\Seeds\\DatabaseSeeder

```

### Set up task scheduling

[](#set-up-task-scheduling)

Chronos runs a couple of tasks in the background, so you will need to set up task scheduling by adding the following to your Cron entries on your server:

```
* * * * * php /path-to-your-project/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

```

### Install and configure Passport

[](#install-and-configure-passport)

1. Add the following to the `boot()` method in `app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider`

```
Passport::routes();

```

2. In `app/Http/Kernel.php`, add the following to the `$middlewareGroups[]` array:

```
...
\Laravel\Passport\Http\Middleware\CreateFreshApiToken::class,
...

```

3. Change the driver to `passport` in `config/auth.php`

```
'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'passport',
        'provider' => 'users',
        'hash' => false,
    ],
],

```

4. Run the install script of laravel/passport to generate our encryption keys:

```
php artisan passport:install

```

5. Finally, create a new token in the Chronos admin, `Settings/Access tokens`.
