|
|
- Access to Directus instance at https://directus.basicstack.de
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install dependencies
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
# Create .env file (already created)
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
|
|
# Edit .env if needed

|
## Development
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|

|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Directus Integration
|
|
|
|
The application connects to Directus using the `@directus/sdk` package. All API calls are made through the `useDirectus()` composable.
|
|
|
|
### Collections
|
|
|
|
- `software_packages` - Software package listings
|
|
- `package_screenshots` - Package screenshots
|
|
- `package_deployment_details` - Deployment information
|
|
- `package_troubleshooting` - Troubleshooting guides
|
|
- `infrastructure_content` - Infrastructure documentation
|
|
- `pages` - Generic content pages
|
|
- `navigation` - Site navigation menu
|
|
|
|
### Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const { getPackages, getPackage, getAssetUrl } = useDirectus()
|
|
|
|
// Get all published packages
|
|
const packages = await getPackages()
|
|
|
|
// Get a specific package by slug
|
|
const pkg = await getPackage('directus')
|
|
|
|
// Get asset URL for a Directus file
|
|
const logoUrl = getAssetUrl(pkg.logo)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Design Integration
|
|
|
|
The frontend is scaffolded with basic responsive styling. Corporate design tokens and components from [DEV-171](/DEV/issues/DEV-171) can be integrated as they become available without requiring architectural changes.
|
|
|
|
## Deployment
|
|
|
|
The application can be deployed as:
|
|
|
|
1. **SSR (Node.js server)** - Default mode, best for dynamic content
|
|
2. **SSG (Static site)** - Pre-rendered pages, best for CDN hosting
|
|
3. **Hybrid** - Mix of SSR and SSG based on routes
|
|
|
|
Recommended deployment targets:
|
|
- Kubernetes (with Node.js container)
|
|
- Vercel / Netlify (for SSG)
|
|
- Any Node.js hosting platform
|
|
|
|
## SEO
|
|
|
|
- Meta tags configured per page
|
|
- Sitemap.xml automatically generated
|
|
- Semantic HTML structure
|
|
- Open Graph tags ready for social sharing
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. ✅ Nuxt 3 application scaffolded
|
|
2. ✅ Directus SDK integrated
|
|
3. ✅ All required pages/routes created
|
|
4. ✅ Responsive layout implemented
|
|
5. ✅ SEO basics in place
|
|
6. ⏳ Apply corporate design tokens from DEV-171
|
|
7. ⏳ Deploy to Kubernetes with TLS
|
|
8. ⏳ Content population via Directus
|
