#[NEMTAB] NodeJS ExpressJS MongoDB Toastr AngularJS Bootstrap Seed



     I improved this project, adding Toastr (https://github.com/CodeSeven/toastr) for

     Popup Notifications, and creating a small set of REST APIs to perform login,

     logout, signup (using passport js as middleware) and some CRUD operations

     with Express JS and MongoDB.



     I remove Jade Templating, because i don't like it, so i implemented some

     little html partilals, using Angular JS template engine.



     Also added bower configuration file to handle JS browser dependencies.



     Added RequireJS.

     Added unit test base configuration with Jasmine and Karma.



     Renamed app.js in server.js.



     To start application :

        npm install // to install node modules dependencies

        bower install // to install bower dependencies

        node server.js



     To minify application:

        node_modules/requirejs/bin/r.js -o tools/app.build.js



Forked from [btford/angular-express-seed](https://github.com/btford/angular-express-seed) and spiced with [Twitter Bootstrap](https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap). jQuery added for convenience.



Start an awesome app with AngularJS + Bootstrap on the front, Express + Node on the back. This project is an

application skeleton for a typical [AngularJS](http://angularjs.org/) web app for those who want

to use Node to serve their app.



The seed contains angular libraries, test libraries and a bunch of scripts all preconfigured for

instant web development gratification. Just clone the repo (or download the zip/tarball) and

you're ready to develop your application.



The seed app shows how to wire together Angular client-side components with Express on the server.

It also illustrates writing angular partials/views with the Jade templating library.



_Note: Although Jade supports interpolation, you should be doing that mostly on the client. Mixing

server and browser templating will convolute your app. Instead, use Jade as a syntactic sugar for

HTML, and let AngularJS take care of interpolation on the browser side._



## How to use angular-express-seed



Clone the angular-express-seed repository, run `npm install` to grab the dependencies and start hacking!



### Running the app



Runs like a typical express app:



    node server.js



### Running tests



Coming soon!



### Receiving updates from upstream



Just fetch the changes and merge them into your project with git.
