Installing Flextrine Manager
The Flextrine Manager
Flextrine provides a simple web interface for you to manage your Flextrine application. The following functions are available:
- Generate AS3 classes from your entities
- Create the database schema from your entities
- Update the database schema if you have added, removed or changed your entities
- Drop the database schema
Installing
Installing the Flextrine Manager is merely a case of copying the manager folder into a web accessible directory on your web server. Alternatively you can set up a vhost to point at the manager directory. Once this is done just browse to the URL of the manager to access it.
Using the manager
Once you have installed the manager and visited its URL you should see something like this in your browser:
To make use of the manager enter the URL of your server-side Flextrine component in the FLEXTRINE PROJECT URL to the right and click refresh. The manager will update to show the name of the database and any entities you have created, and you will now be able to use the manager functions.
| Operation | Description |
| Generate AS3 Classes | This auto-generates AS3 classes from the PHP entities in your entities folder. You will be prompted to save/open a zip file containing the classes; you need to copy these into your Flex project. |
| Create schema | This creates all tables required by your entities in the configured database. If the tables already exist an error will be thrown. |
| Update schema | This will update existing database tables and create new ones as required to reflect changes in your entities since the last create or update |
| Drop schema | This will delete all the tables your schema uses in the database. Easy now! |
