Casein is a lightweight CMS for Ruby on Rails that I originally developed while working at Spoiled Milk. It has since been expanded further by the Spoiled Milk team and released as an open source project, which I now maintain.
It provides scaffolding generators and helper functions to quickly create a lightweight CRUD interface for your data, along with a pre-rolled user authentication system.
Casein is designed to be completely decoupled from the front-end. Therefore it may be added to new or existing Rails projects, or even used as a standalone CMS to drive platforms built on other technologies.
Features
- Quick start. Generate a modern and minimal CRUD interface for your data using the supplied Rails generators.
- Powerful customisation. The generated views and controller logic can be infinitely customised as required. Casein comes with a range of helper functions to get you started.
- User management. User authentication and basic management to support developers and clients is pre-rolled and ready to go.
