Lumber

Thanks @tiboel, we’re so excited to be back on Product Hunt! I’m Sandro (founder of Forest) and I’m happy to answer all your questions :) We launched Forest in June 2016 on PH and received great feedback from the community. The team listened to your comments and worked hard to make it possible for all developers to use Forest, no matter which technology they’re using. Lumber is a generator that analyzes the structure of your database and generates a Node.js admin microservice for your app. It currently supports projects running MySQL and Postgres databases. As with Forest, you’re free to customize the microservice to match your own specific needs. We hope you will find Lumber useful and are excited to know what you think about the project!

@rstankov Thank you! Video: Live demo: https://app.forestadmin.com/logi...

@arnaud_besnier So lumberjack!!! 🌳🌳🌳

@seyz_ @arnaud_besnier Lumber make it so fun and easy to develop and customize its admin interface !! Awesome job guys, "only n° 10 in my team" ;)

@giacomolaw Sure! Instead of coding an admin interface for your web application, you can now use Lumber to generate it automatically. Take a look at our video here:

@seyz_ Cool! I will give it a go.

@seyz_ I'm a little bit of an idiot. Where do I run this? 😬

@giacomolaw In your terminal, simply run npm install -g lumber-cli then lumber generate to get started :)

@seyz_ I'm on Windows... can't seem to find it :/

@jmsimoes Mongo would be great. I would love Firebase too, but thats a structure that doesnt even need a backend. Firebase of course has an "admin" but sometimes I want to hook permissions to users and not give them my firebase access directly, but through a nice UI. Thanks for this

@mdausinger Yep! It’s actually even better as it’s not limited to node.js projects, and can be used on top of any MySQL and Postgres database. By default everything is fully secured with JWT authentication 👍

@jakeapeters Thanks for the kind words Jake! We’re excited to see what you do with it 😊
