The main idea for this repository is shamelessly stolen from http://mean.io and mean-stack-relational M*EAN . It says:
MEAN is a boilerplate that provides a nice starting point for [MySQL], Express, Node.js, 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 sequelize 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.
The MongoDB ORM, Mongoose, has been replaced with Sequelize. Switching from mongoose to sequelize allows developers easy access to MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite or PostgreSQL databases by mapping database entries to objects and vice versa.
Addy Osmani's Blog explains SQL databases, being strongly typed in nature are great at enforcing a level of consistency, ensuring many kinds of bad data simply don’t get recorded. By using SQL databases MEAN Stack Relational favors reliability over the performance gains of NoSQL databases.
M*EAN is an acronym for Mysql, Express.js , Angular.js and Node.js
- Mysql
- Is a relational database management system (RDBMS) in July 2013, it was the world's second most widely used RDBMS, and the most widely used open-source RDBMS.
- Express
- The best way to understand express is through its Official Website, particularly The Express Guide; you can also go through this StackOverflow thread for more resources.
- AngularJS
- Angular's Official Website is a great starting point. CodeSchool and google created a great tutorial for beginners, and the angular videos by Egghead. Utilice Angular Style Guide and best practice make by Jhon Papa
- Node.js
- Start by going through Node.js Official Website and this StackOverflow thread, which should get you going with the Node.js platform in no time.
- Sequelize - Is a promise-based ORM for Node.js and io.js. It supports the dialects PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL and features solid transaction support, relations, read replication and more.
- Passport - An authentication middleware for Node.js which supports authentication using a username and password, Facebook, Twitter, and more.
- Twitter Bootstrap - The most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects.
- UI Bootstrap - Bootstrap components written in pure AngularJS
- Node.js latest https://nodejs.org or io.js <= 2.5 https://iojs.org
- MySQL - Download and Install MySQL - Make sure it's running on the default port (3306).
$ npm install -g bower
$ npm install -g gruntAlright now the fun begins. First clone or download the repo to your computer.
$ git clone https://github.com/jcsena/mean-relational.git
$ cd mean-relational && npm install- Config auth datebase
/config/env/development.js.
$ gruntThats all! Now go and open up your browser at http://localhost:3000, and tweet @dendores to say thanks!
- Passport - Passport is authentication middleware for Node.js. Extremely flexible and modular, Passport can be unobtrusively dropped in to any Express-based web application. A comprehensive set of strategies support authentication using a username and password, Facebook, Twitter, and more.
- Express - Express is a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Sequelize - The Sequelize library provides easy access to MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite or PostgreSQL databases by mapping database entries to objects and vice versa. To put it in a nutshell, it's an ORM (Object-Relational-Mapper). The library is written entirely in JavaScript and can be used in the Node.JS environment.
