A one-day MEAN app [MEAN, Lab, Group]

MEAN Lab

Prompt

This is an open-ended pair lab! It is up to you and your teammate to come up with a project idea. It must, however, fulfill the following technical requirements...

Technical Requirements

Your application should be MEAN. This includes...

  • Using MongoDB as your database and Mongoose as your ODM
  • Using Express to handle HTTP requests and serve API endpoints
  • Adding Angular as your front-end. Express should only handle your root view as well as your API routes. Angular should take care of the rest via ui.router.
  • Using Node to run your Express server

Your app should have CRUD functionality for at least one model.

Bonus I

Add a second model to your application, which is embedded under the first.

Bonus II

Allow the user to log-in using Twitter.

Use this lesson plan as reference.

Pairs

You will be working in pairs. We will leave the group selection up to you. Feel free find a partner after the lab has been introduced.

We recommend following a pair programming approach, in which one person is the "driver" and the other is the "navigator". Throughout the lab you will switch roles. More information can be found here.
