A CAF example implementing a presentation tool

Learns during rehearsal how long it takes you to present a set of Reveal.js slides. Then, in the middle of the actual presentation, it will send you a warning SMS if you are not going to make it.

Start by creating a CA with name admin that manages all your presentations.

Using that instance, create a presentation bar by adding a binding to a URL containing the markdown (slides.md file by convention) and assets for your slides (see caf_forward and reveal.js for details). Assets with a relative path should be prefixed by process.env.CA_NAME, for example:

![](process.env.CA_NAME/assets/overview.svg)
<!-- .element:  width="500" heigh="500" -->

It is convenient to use a github repo. For example, if you are the user foo:

foo-bar -> https://rawgit.com/foo/my_presentations/master/presentation1

assuming that your slides.md file is in a repo my_presentations under subdir presentation1 in github.

And the presentation will show up when opening your instance bar of this app.

Note that rawgit.com ensures that the mime type for svg and other special files is not just text/plain. See http://rawgit.com/ for details.

It is also easy to run in local mode, useful when editing slides. Create a symbolic link to your slides directory in caf_hellopresent/public/slides, run cafjs tools mounting your home directory (assuming it contains your slides), and set the link as:

foo-bar -> http://127.0.0.1:3000/slides
