The xceling-* suite is a work new to nodejs, and as such should not be relied on. I am actively working on this, however, and hope to see a useful version available before spring of '17.

This code is based on PHP based CMS I developed and is currently in production use on a good number (the only number I can give is more then 30) websites. These websites include the small personal and some large commercial ones.

If you are interested in helping move this nodejs project forward or would like to see the PHP version contact me at [email protected]

EXCELING-TASK NOTES:

This module contains the code for handling an exceling task. A task defines a permission on the user side that is required to access a given functionality. The set of user permissions is retrieved by accessing the [user instance].Permissions instance getter. The task/pemission is defined by [task instance].Name.

let Task = require('xceling-task')({store: 'mongo'}), tk; Task.getSingleObject({Name: 'User Editor', Flags: Task.FLAG_ACTIVE}, function(err, task) { if(!err) tk = task; else util.log(err); }); -- or -- tk = new (require('xceling-task'))({see Task definition for options});
