dev24-2021-live-coding's Introduction

Live Coding Session from Liferay `/dev/24` (2021)

During a live coding session for the /dev/24, I decided to use the almost 2h I had to create a WeTransfer-like application. The goal is to generate discussions around anything that can happen during this process, but also see how much we can rely on Liferay out-of-the-box features to create such an application.

Checkout the form structure to reproduce this on your local Liferay before playing with the customisation included in this workspace.

Our Files

Our Files is the name of our WeTransfer-like application. What we want to achieve:

Upload multiple files as guest
Share the files to multiple recipients
Verify the sender before sending an email notification
Let links expire after some time

Liferay Features

With that limited time, the less we code the better. So we're going to rely on some Liferay features to avoid reinventing the wheel and add some code to glue all of that together.

Liferay Forms for uploading files and send links
Workflows to validate emails and publish links
Display Page for downloading files

Form Structure

[ Upload Field, Required, Guests allowed]; Field Reference = fileToShare
[ Text Field, Required, Email Validation ]; Field Reference = emailTo
[ Text Field, Required, Email Validation ]; Field Reference = emailFrom
[ Text Field, Required ]; Field Reference = title
[ Text Field, Required, Multiple Lines ]; Field Reference = message
