# mean-heroku

> a starterkit for projects based on the mean stack using Heroku as PAAS

## Why

Mean stack is cool but get it all done can be difficult.

There are lots of starter kits but they often make assumptions, add too much features or miss some important parts.

This example show the complete workflow to build a node js app based on [Mongodb](https://www.mongodb.org),

[Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/), [Express](http://expressjs.com/) and [Angular](https://angularjs.org/) and

deploy it with [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com)

### Set up on your local machine

Be sure to have mongodb installed and running

Clone the repo

Install all the dependencies with

```js

npm install

```

Start the app using

```js

nodemon app

 ```

(see [nodemon](http://nodemon.io) app docs)

### Deploy to Heroku
