dereknien/node-sample-app

Simple web application built with Node, MySQL, NoGap and Angular and Bootstrap.

Installation

1. Install MySQL or XAMPP

2. Install a MySQL database manager, such as MySQL Workbench or SQLyog

3. Install Node

   1. Add Node to your global PATH

4. Install a Git client, such as MSysgit [Windows] or others

   1. Add git (and, on Windows, include UNIX TOOLS) to your global PATH

5. Open a command line, aka shell, aka terminal [e.g. cmd on Windows]

6. Go to your code folder, using cd

7. Run: git clone https://github.com/Domiii/node-sample-app.git [to download this code]

8. Run: cd node-sample-app

9. Run: npm install [to download and install all necessary libraries and other dependencies of this code]

10. Configure your application: Create a new file appConfig.user.js and add:

    "use strict";
    
    module.exports = {
        // my custom configuration here
    };

    1. Add your DB configuration. For example:

       "use strict";
       
       module.exports = {
           // my custom configuration here
           'db' : {
               'host'     : 'localhost',
               'user'     : 'root',
               'password' : '',            // no password
               'database' : 'my_db'
           },
       };

    2. Make sure that the database exists (i.e. my_db in this example): You can create a new DB with MySQL Workbench or with SQLyog.

    3. You can make more customizations by copying and overriding any values from appConfig.js.

11. Run: node app.js

12. Open your browser and go to: localhost:9132

Done!
