Projects using angular-meteor-boilerplate:

This boilerplate is here to give you a starting point for your angular-meteor projects. Essential atmosphere packages are included to give you features like roles and collection schemas out-of-the-box.

Motivation

I really love Meteor for at least seven reasons, and Angular for oh so many more. So why not combine the two with angular-meteor?! angluar-meteor even incorporates both Angular and Blaze so you can slowly migrate to Blaze, or slowly migrate to Angular, or use both together forever ♥.

Installation

Clone the project git clone https://github.com/srtucker22/angular-meteor-boilerplate.git
Go to the primary directory cd angular-meteor-boilerplate
Run meteor to get all the packages meteor
Add a settings.json to the primary directory touch settings.json

Add your personal settings for the following services included in meteor (or remove the ones you don't want)

 {
   "facebook" : {
     "appId": "YOUR_APP_ID",
     "secret": "YOUR_APP_SECRET"
   },
   "kadira": { 
     "appId": "YOUR_APP_ID", 
     "appSecret": "YOUR_APP_SECRET" 
   },
   "papertrail" : {
     "port" : YOUR_PORT_NUMBER
   }
 }

run the app with the settings meteor --settings settings.json
enjoy!
*optional with npm installed, install Yeoman and the generator-angular-meteor packages: npm install -g yo generator-angular-meteor. Read the generator-angular-meteor docs for usage. *note: generator-angular-meteor puts some files in weird places that this boilerplate doesn't agree with, so this still needs tweaking. Stay tuned for future releases!

PS: be sure to also modify ga.js to reflect your google analytics id and domain

Adding allow rules for external URLs

The browser-policy adds rules to deny all operations from external URLs. This helps dealing with clickjacking and other XSS methods used to attack the client. To whitelist a url, add following to server/config/security.js

BrowserPolicy.content.allowOriginForAll(YOUR_URL);

Other security enforcing packages like audit-argument-checks and matteodem:easy-security have also been added.
