Tutorial app for the MEAN Workshop

MEAN Workshop application

The purpose of this app is to guide the user to learn the MEAN stack through a step-by-step development. Every branch represents the state of the app, both for the back-end and the front-end. The back-end is made with NodeJS, ExpressJS and Mongoose for MongoDB. Any kind of generator was used to build the scaffolding structure.

So, the procedure is to switch from a branch to another and develop the app step-by-step, reaching the level situated in the next branch.

Requirements

To use and work with the app, you need to have installed the following requirements:

• Ruby & Compass (needed to compile sass sources)
• Python & a C++ compiler (needed to node-gyp to build some tools)
• NodeJS
• MongoDB
• Grunt (installed globally with npm. Needed to serve the front-end)

Usage

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/ibuildingsitaly/mean-workshop-tutorial
$ cd mean-workshop-tutorial

Install back-end dependencies:

$ cd api
$ npm install
$ cd ..

Install front-end dependencies:

$ cd app
$ npm install
$ bower install
$ cd ..

At this point, make sure you have launched your mongo server, then launch the back-end:

$ cd api
$ node index

From another shell, launch the front-end:

$ cd /path/to/repo/
$ cd app/
$ grunt serve
