Documentation

Four kinds of documentation, each with one job: learn by building (Learn), understand and apply (Guide), look things up (Manual) and account for the choices (Philosophy). For humans and machines alike.

Get startedInstallDocker or source, your first build and the step to production. TutorialLearnBuild a real realtime app step by step: Phlo Poll in eight steps.

Platform

Reference for the product layers above the language: the CMS, realtime, WhatsApp and the dashboard. Each a mini-manual that precisely shows what each step does, three with an example app as source code repo to replicate directly.

CMSPhlo CMSSchema-driven CRUD: lists, records, forms, uploads and a REST API from your models. With an example blog as source code repo. phloWSRealtimeRealtime via one Node broker and the connect/auth/receive/close hooks. Connects to the Poll tutorial, with example repo. phloWAWhatsAppA WhatsApp gateway as a separate service: one process per number, incoming messages reach your app through a secured webhook. Mail and notifications run through the same platform layer. DashboardOperationsThe operational layer: database management, notifications, users and roles, monitoring and analytics.
