Ember Lux Starter App

Overview

The Ember + Lux Starter App is a basic boilerplate for creating an Ember + Lux application. It provides features such as authentication, a User model, and the ability to use Semantic UI for styling.

Features

• Authentication: Basic authentication is provided using JWT. The client uses ember-simple-auth and ember-simple-auth-token. The token is valid for 30 minutes by default, or 7 days if "remember me" is selected during login. Customization of token validity is possible in server/app/utils/constants.

• Models: The app includes a single User model with basic attributes. This model is present in both the server and the client.

• Semantic UI: The package comes with Semantic UI available for styling. It is only partially imported by default to reduce file size. Users can modify which components to import by editing app/styles/semantic-ui.less.

Server

1. Create a server/.env file with the following content: JWT_SECRET=SomeImpossibleSecret.

2. Globally install Lux by running npm install -g lux-framework.

3. Install dependencies by running npm install.

4. Create, migrate, and seed an SQLite database by running lux db:create && lux db:migrate && lux db:seed.

5. Start the development server by running npm run dev.

Client

1. Globally install ember-cli by running npm install -g ember-cli.

2. Install dependencies by running npm install && bower install.

3. Start the application by running ember s.

4. Visit the application by going to http://localhost:4200.
