Source code for the Loc8r application in Getting MEAN Second Edition

Getting MEAN Second Edition application code

This is the code for the sample 'Loc8r' application that is built through the course of my book Getting MEAN Second Edition.

Getting MEAN Second Edition is published by Manning, and teaches readers how to develop web applications end-to-end using the MEAN stack with Node 6 and Angular 2. It is currently in early access through the MEAP program, with new chapters being released regularly.

Note: if you have the First Edition of the book using Node 4 and Angular 1 you need the First Edition code instead.

Get the code

Pre-requisites:

• Git installed
• A command line interface capable of running Git commands

To get the code for a specific branch:

$ git clone -b branch-name https://github.com/simonholmes/getting-MEAN-2.git

Then change into the folder the git clone command will create:

$ cd getting-MEAN-2

And finally install the dependencies:

npm install
