Modern web applications has separated front- and backend sides to use. This boilerplate present one way to make your application which have fully separated back- and frontend sides.
- Separate back- and frontend development
- Light frontend application
- Authenticate with backend (possible multiple ways: local, github, twitter, etc.)
- Power of AngularJS + WebSockets
- Simple examples how to use these
backend/ = Sails.js server, just API nothing else
frontend/ = Slush-angular, just frontend side
For backend side this boilerplate uses Sails.js (imho awesome). See more info at https://github.com/balderdashy/sails I have just done some small tweaks to generic workflow of sails nothing else.
Boilerplate uses slush-angular for frontend (AngularJS using Google Angular App Structure Recommendations). See more info at https://github.com/slushjs/slush-angular This library is awesome to distribute frontend.
