@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:
So Lumber basically lets you create a full-fledged REST API for your node.js project? If yes, pretty cool stuff! How difficult would it be to add a security layer so that the API can be used in a public environment?
@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 👍
Looks amazing for for rapid prototyping. And retrofitting a legacy app with a modern REST API? Very cool.
One quirk: During setup, it was able to read my db and generate admin ui. But when browsing the admin UI it gave various ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR for my local db user. Despite that, seems like a great product once everything is worked out!
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!
I connected with @seyz_ and the team earlier this year, and they've been killing it ever since. Looking forward to checking out Lumber. And keep up the great work guys!
@jose_nino_perez You're right, the Forest UI is designed for business teams and give them a lot of autonomy. It's perfect for fast prototyping and for mature/ambitious project :)
