WARNING

This Repo is discontinued by me, because I now use Yeoman and LoopBack.

I am also working on a Yeoman generator for Angular, LoopBack and Bootstrap. You can find it here

If you want to continue this special template, feel free to fork it.

Setting up

Setup is a fairly straightforward task if you've ever used our particular blend of technologies before. If you haven't, you're in for a treat hopefully!

Fulfilling Installation requirements

You will need the following set up:

• node.js
• git
• npm

Everything else is bundled with the application itself, or pulled in via npm.

Getting the Repository

If you have git:

git clone https://github.com/jkuetemeier/Node-Express-Angular-Coffee-Bootstrap.git

Then lets nagivate into the repo:

cd Node-Express-Angular-Coffee-Bootstrap

Pulling in Dependencies

Since we're in the root directory of the repo, we can tell npm to install all of the neccessary dependencies.

npm install

npm will read our package.json file to fetch everything we need.

For convienence, you should also install coffee-script globally:

sudo npm install -g coffee-script

Make a config

Due to security concerns, you should edit the configuration file as fast as possible, which contains all app-specific configuration details. Thankfully, it's easy to make your own!

In server/config/server-config.coffee:

module.exports = port: 4000, secret: 'test', cookieSecret: 'test'

Change 'test' to your own values.

Test it out

Lets test our installation by executing coffee app.coffee

$> coffee server.coffee
Express server listening on port 8080

Relax

You're done! Check back later for more exciting progress! Feel free to suggest improvements by opening an issue or submitting a pull request!
