This github project aims to show off the extensibility of the Airdispatch protocol by using it to create a blog. Any public messages sent by the specified address are converted into posts using this code that is less than 200 lines long.
You must first import the code:
import github.com/airdispatch/blog
We currently provide bindings for web.go, the following example is intended to be used in a web.go project.
// Create the Blog Instance
theBlog = &blog.Blog{
Address: "e7da159a65cb19a37c86b56f789e96c410a6a5b74a8a570f", // The airdispatch address to display
Trackers: []string{"localhost:1024"}, // The tracker used for that address
Key: serverKey, // The key that the server uses to authenticate
}
// Initialize It
theBlog.Initialize()
// Use it in your routes
server.Get("/blog(.*)", theBlog.WebGoBlog(&blogTemplate))
The template that you pass to the blog must contain something like this to display the posts:
{{ range .Posts }}
<div class="row blogpost">
<div class="span7 offset1">
<h3><a href="/blog/{{.URL}}">{{.Title}}</a></h3>
<h5>by {{.Author}} on {{.Date}}</h5>
<div class="body">
{{.Content}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>
{{ else }}
<h2>No posts here.</h2>
{{ end }}
That's it! It automatically creates slugs for all of your posts, and responds to those specific pages.
