bee_plugin

Perl and AngularJS example

Work in progress

This is an example repo for setting up the BEE email editor plugin (https://beefree.io/) that uses Perl5 with a Dancer web framework and AngularJS.

Overview

• Request a client_id and client_secret from https://beefree.io/ and add it to environments/bee.yml. Use https://auth.getbee.io/apiauth as the base_url.

• The BEE plugin is delivered via CDN, so you must authorize your app with beefree via OAuth2. To receieve a token, make a POST request to https://auth.getbee.io/apiauth with the parameters:

  • grant_type => password
  • client_id => $YOUR_CLEINT_ID
  • client_secret => $YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

  You will receive a JSON structure back as the token. In this example, the request is made on the server side for security reasons.

• You will load the plugin into your HTML with this src tag:

     <script src="https://app-rsrc.getbee.io/plugin/BeePlugin.js"></script>

  Provide a div with id="bee-plugin-container" for the plugin to live in.

  Both of these elements are wrapped in another div, which initializes the Angular controller:

  <div class="bee-plugin-main-container" ng-controller="BeePluginController" ng-init="initBeePlugin()">
      <script src="https://app-rsrc.getbee.io/plugin/BeePlugin.js"></script>
      <div id="bee-plugin-container"></div>
  </div>

• Lanch the web server with plackup:

      $ plackup bin/app.pl

Which will bind to: http://0.0.0.0:5000

And that's it! More configuration features can be found on https://beefree.io/
