A real quick post now that we have a couple alpha users that Proxima is something I'm still working on, and will be tweaking and adding things to a lot over the next few weeks.

I know there's no docs at this time, and it may not be clear what Proxima actually IS, but think of Proxima as a "backend" server that only responds in JSON - it is meant to be "talked to" by a client (mobile, PHP, etc.).

I'm working on a PHP and JS client for Proxima, so will be releasing those soon.

Let me know if there are any questions or issues.

Thanks!

- Brian

Is it still considered alpha? I am probably going to start tinkering with it right away and (hopefully) could possibly launch something in a few months... do you think it's ready?

Yeah - it's ready. It's not really "alpha" but more of "rc" type release at this point - everything should for the most part be working and working well.

Hope this helps!

Can we expect documentation on this any time soon? I want to test it but need to know how to extend it to some of my custom modules.

There is some documentation here:

https://www.jamroom.net/proxima/documentation

but we don't have many users using Proxima at this point, so I've been focused on the main Jamroom Core and have not gone beyond that - if you can let me know what you're looking for that is not covered there I can get it added in.

Thanks!

So, the main thing I need to know is how to add additional data services. I made some changes to the default JR schema, and I have added some modules that collect/provide additional data. How can I add those data services? As it is right now, if I use the api, I cannot access the whole data set.

Is your custom module using the Jamroom Core datastore functionality? If so, I've been working on a "generic" API module that will allow POST/GET/PUT/DELETE access to all of the already existing DataStore modules (i.e. audio, video, image galleries, etc.).

Let me know if that sounds like what you're looking for.

Thanks!

I will check with the developers on Monday to see if they used something else, but I'm sure it's using the JR core datastore, so the generic api module might be exactly what I'm looking for.

Cool - most likely they are using the DS (it's pretty much the standard for every module), so this module would basically add a JSON API layer "in front of it" so you could manipulate the data in your module.

I'll try to get that moving forward as soon as I can and get it online.

Hope this helps!

Confirmed. They are using existing DS
