Practical Keystone.js
A Hands On Introduction To Keystone.js Using a Real-World Project
About the Book
This book intends to elicit the setup and architecture of the keystone.js framework by way of using it to build a real world application for managing incident tickets. The book intends to show developers how quick it is to setup the framework and how easy it is to extend it. The custom types and fields set this framework apart from many existing frameworks and developers get all the freedom to build their application just as they envision it. Frontend designers will learn how to write clean markup and create their own templates using Swig, an elegant, flexible and concise templating language that allows anyone to write templates the way they want. Content editors will learn about the easy and powerful editing options in the responsive dashboard that the framework provides.
