About Keystone
KeystoneJS is a powerful Node.js content management system and web app framework built on the Express web framework and Mongoose ODM. Keystone makes it easy to create sophisticated web sites and apps, and comes with a beautiful auto-generated Admin UI.
Check out our demo site to see it in action.
Keystone 5
We've been working on a new version of Keystone. If you're starting a new project you might be interested in trying out Keystone 5.
Documentation
For Keystone v4 documentation and guides, see keystonejs.com.
For Keystone v0.3 documentation, see v3.keystonejs.com.
Getting Started
This section provides a short intro to Keystone. Check out the Getting Started Guide in the Keystone documentation for a more comprehensive introduction.
Installation
The easiest way to get started with Keystone is to use the Yeoman generator:
$ npm install -g generator-keystone
$ yo keystone
Answer the questions, and the generator will create a new project based on the options you select, and install the required packages from npm.
Alternatively, to include Keystone in an existing project or start from scratch (without Yeoman), specify
keystone: "4.0.0" in the dependencies array of your package.json file, and run npm install from your terminal.
Then read through the Documentation and the Example Projects to understand how to use it.
Configuration
Config variables can be passed in an object to the
keystone.init method, or can be set any time before keystone.start is called using keystone.set(key, value). This allows for a more flexible order of execution. For example, if you refer to Lists in your routes you can set the routes after configuring your Lists.
See the KeystoneJS configuration documentation for details and examples of the available options.
Database field types
Keystone builds on the basic data types provided by MongoDB and allows you to easily add rich, functional fields to your application's models.
You get helper methods on your models for dealing with each field type easily (such as formatting a date or number, resizing an image, getting an array of the available options for a select field, or using Google's Places API to improve addresses) as well as a beautiful, responsive admin UI to edit your data with.
See the KeystoneJS database documentation for details and examples of the various field types, as well as how to set up and use database models in your application.
Running KeystoneJS in Production
When you deploy your KeystoneJS app to production, be sure to set your
ENV environment variable to production.
Setting your environment enables certain features (including template caching, simpler error reporting, and HTML minification) that are important in production but annoying in development.
