Features

• all JavaScript
• real time integration
• API service designed
• compile and test tool

Recommended for:

• real time apps
• starting projects from scratch
• apps which require full stack structure (frontend and backend)

For apps which already have a backend, Lineman Angular Toolkit (light) is more suitable.

  Lineman includes Grunt, Jasmine and also runs a local server for development purposes.
• Bower - for package management
• AngularJS - you know, the framework :)
• AngularUI Router - the coolest routing solution for AngularJS
• Angular Material
• jQuery

Backend

• NodeJS server
• MongoDB
• ExpressJS

Mixins

• socket.io

Tools

• SASS - is compiled to CSS
• Coffeescript - is compiled to JS

Setup & run

It is assumed that NodeJS, MongoDB, SASS, Bower and Lineman are installed.

npm install
bower install
mongod --dbpath C:\mongodb\data\db\ /* start MongoDB */
lineman clean run
