MEAN Stack
MEAN is a boilerplate that provides a nice starting point for MongoDB, Node.js, Express, and AngularJS based applications.
It is designed to give you quick and organized way to start developing of MEAN based web apps with useful modules like mongoose and passport pre-bundled and configured.
We mainly try to take care of the connection points between existing popular frameworks and solve common integration problems.
Prerequisites
- Node.js - Download and Install Node.js.
- MongoDB - Download and Install MongoDB - Make sure it's running on the default port(27017).
MEAN Modules
- Mean presents a growing eco-system of MEAN based modules in the npm repository, To write (and contribute) your own MEAN based module checkout mean-logger for examples.
Additional Packages
- Express - Defined as npm module in the Package.json file.
- Mongoose - Defined as npm module in the Package.json file.
- Passport - Defined as npm module in the Package.json file.
- AngularJS - Pre-bundled in the public folder.
- Twitter Bootstrap - Pre-bundled in the public folder.
Configuration
See the config folder and especially the config.js file.
Quick Start
The quickest way to get started with MEAN is to clone the project and utilize it like this:
Install dependencies:
$ npm install
Start the server:
$ node server
Then open a browser and go to
$ http://localhost:3000
The Future
We are currently working on a extendable module system to make it more like a framework with support for modern web development requirements.
