Baby Mean - small reference app for the mean stack

Nothing groundbreaking here! This app is intended as a learning tool that consists of Angular, Node, MongoDB, and Express with CRUD.

Would not recommend use in a production environment!

Local Deployment

Install Dependencies: npm install (there's a postinstall in package.json to get bower dependencies).

Install Mongo: 'brew install mongo' if on OSX or by other means. Run Mongo Daemon: 'mongod' to start the local mongo database up Run: grunt to run the default task.

Heroku Deployment

Required:

• Mongolab account, or other offering for mongodb
• Heroku account and heroku toolbelt (heroku-cli)

Initialize and/or commit as git repo: git init and git add . and git commit -am 'initial commit'

In root folder, create heroku app: heroku create <appname> or just heroku create to let Heroku name the app for you.

Set Environment Variables:

heroku config:add MONGOLAB_URI=mongodb://<username>:<password>@ds047478.mongolab.com:47478/myDB (you'll see this url when you create a db in mongolab)

Run: git push heroku master

Have fun!!
