The MEAN stack uses Mongo, Express, Angular(6) and Node for simple and scalable fullstack js applications

Welcome to the mean stack

The mean stack is intended to provide a simple and fun starting point for cloud native fullstack javascript applications.
MEAN is a set of Open Source components that together, provide an end-to-end framework for building dynamic web applications; starting from the top (code running in the browser) to the bottom (database). The stack is made up of:

• MongoDB : Document database – used by your back-end application to store its data as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) documents
• Express (sometimes referred to as Express.js): Back-end web application framework running on top of Node.js
• Angular (formerly Angular.js): Front-end web app framework; runs your JavaScript code in the user's browser, allowing your application UI to be dynamic
• Node.js : JavaScript runtime environment – lets you implement your application back-end in JavaScript

Pre-requisites

• git - Installation guide .
• node.js - Download page .
• npm - comes with node or download yarn - Download page .
• mongodb - Download page .

Installation

git clone https://github.com/linnovate/mean
cd mean
cp .env.example .env
yarn
yarn start (for development)

Docker based

⚠️ Make sure your Docker version is 19.03.0+.

git clone https://github.com/linnovate/mean
cd mean
cp .env.example .env
docker-compose up -d

Credits

• The MEAN name was coined by Valeri Karpov.
• Initial concept and development was done by Amos Haviv and sponsered by Linnovate.
• Inspired by the great work of Madhusudhan Srinivasa.

How to add a new page

[EDIT] - this is partly wrong, see my comment below

Hi,

I successfully added a page to this project. Since it wasn't as simple as I hoped, I try to document what I did. The page I add in this walkthrough is called 'video'.

1. Edit config/routes.js and add:

var video = require('../app/controllers/video');
app.get('/video', video.render);

2. Add app/controllers/video.js with:

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    async = require('async'),
    _ = require('underscore');

exports.render = function(req, res) {
    res.render('video');
};

3. Add app/views/video.jade with:

extends layouts/default
block content
  h1 video page
  p this is a test

4. On the client side, you edit /public/js/config.js and add:

when('/video', {
    templateUrl: 'views/video.html'

5. Furthermore, edit public/js/controllers/header.js and in $scope.menu add:

{
    "title": "Video",
    "link": "video"
}

This should be it.

Best,
Dirk

enable live reload for jade files

More of a "nice to have" than an issue, but it would be nice to modify the gruntfile.js to support live reloading for the jade files too (cfr. http://code-like-a-poem.blogspot.be/2013/05/tips-jade-to-html-and-livereload-using.html)

How the Server controllers (/app/controllers/articles.js) and the Client controllers (/public/js/controllers/articles.js) know each others?

Hi MEAN, this is so wonderful stack!

I do not know how the Client controllers can get the data from the Server controllers to export to view.

By the way, what is the role of these two .js file: article.js in public/js/service and init.js in public/js

Thanks!

No dependancies work (from Bower)

I followed the instructions in the readme, but the structure created is trying to reference the following files (all are not found):

 http://localhost:5000/lib/bootstrap/docs/assets/css/bootstrap.css
 http://localhost:5000/lib/bootstrap/docs/assets/css/bootstrap-responsive.css
 http://localhost:5000/lib/jquery/jquery.min.js 404
 http://localhost:5000/lib/angular/angular.min.js
 http://localhost:5000/lib/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js
 http://localhost:5000/lib/angular-cookies/angular-cookies.min.js
 http://localhost:5000/lib/angular-resource/angular-resource.min.js
 http://localhost:5000/lib/angular-ui-utils/modules/route/route.js

No lib folder is present anywhere in the cloned build. Am I supposed to be moving these files from the bower_components/ folder into public/lib/? Am I totally missing something here?

[Enhancement] Integrate login / signup with angular app

Currently the signup, login pages are jade templates served up by express. In my opinion, it would be ideal to instead convert them to RESTful api endpoints, and handle the logging in / templating thorough angular.

This would keep the experience more cohesive to the end user. It would also eliminate the need for jade templating (just send every non API request to index.html). It would also open the possibility of exposing a whole slew of auth related endpoints, ie: api/login api/signup api/signout api/reset_password etc.

Thoughts?

Any inspiration from this project (https://github.com/madhums/node-express-mongoose-demo) ?

Is this project inspired from this project? I see a lot of common design architecture. If so, some credit to this project should be given. Ain't it?

Expressjs API?

There are two command line which I do not understand:

1. var article = req.article;
2. req.article = article;

what does it mean?. Look up in http://expressjs.com/api.html, I do not see this kind of req.

Thank so much!

FYI Facebook API Key exposed

Your config file contains your Facebook API Key. Might want to store that in a config file that you add to .gitignore

MEAN starts with blank page

Nothing on page, what should I do?. Thank you so much!. I use win 7 and chrome

Error: shasum check failed

I've been getting this error consistently on multiple machines on different networks when running npm install from a fresh clone of mean. When it happens seems to be rather unpredictable but I assume that's because of some async callback that is throwing the error. Is there some way I can get a more descriptive error message?

Resources 404 on Gets

I think I got everything installed correctly but got 404's for all the resources(bootstrap, jquery, etc) when visiting the page: localhost:3000.

I ended up moving the resources to a folder named static, and remove lib/ from the app/views/includes/{foot.jade,head.jade,} files.
Then I had to link the resources in the server.js file using:
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/static'));

Was there a different way I was supposed to be able to serve those resouces?

Remember me

A "remember me" option by logging in would be a simple but expected function.

404 for jquery.min.map occurs when opening browser dev tools

Title says it all. This is off vanilla install.

Public/static route lost when behind node-node-proxy

I'm running behind a node-http-proxy and the static route is lost in the ether... Do you know of a quick fix to get things talking again?

missing "run localhost:3000" in documentation

going to localhost:3000/articles sends user information

This was just something I noticed. I am sure we are suppose to handle our own authentication logic, but I thought I would let people know in case this was an issue.

I'm pretty new at this, so I wasn't sure.

This repo looks like it is going to be a great resource, thanks!

Problem with minified js

Hello,

Thanks for putting this together, it looks exactly what I need to get a grip on the mean stack. I run into a problem however following the installation instructions.

After I install all the dependencies using npm install and bower install en start the server using node server.js, when I go to http://localhost:3000 I get a blank page with these errors in the console:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL :3000/lib/jquery/jquery.min.js:1

Could someone tell me what I did wrong? I tried cloning the repo multiple times and reinstalling the dependencies but to no avail.

Thanks in advance!

A little more documentation for the first timers

It would be nice to have a quick start list on the github page for the project. Something that shows the simple things you need to edit to get functionality working. Example:

1. Change 'password' in FILE
2. Add API keys to FILE

Right now there is no document that tells people what variables/settings they might need to go change throughout the entire app.

requiresLogin in authorization.js redirects to dead location

The first routing middleware function in the authorization.js file redirects to non-existent route '/login'

exports.requiresLogin = function(req, res, next) {
    if (!req.isAuthenticated()) {
        return res.redirect('/login');
    }
    next();
};

Tests

I see several testing related dependencies in the package.json file but no test directory or test files.
It would be great to integrate some tests case, particularly for some basic rest api.

Socket.io

Some kind if integration with Socket.io would be great :)

Failed install & run on Win7 machine (screenshots available)

attached two screenshots of failed install and running attempt
followed your simple steps on mean.io
My machine is a pc win7 (.net framework commes pre-installed...)
do I have to have Ruby and Compass installed?

Ajar

Update To Readme.md required

On windows after cloning if you do "npm install" it errors out at the end since it tries to invoke bower which i think has shebang, which is not supported on windows.

So, after install node, mongodb. and doing npm install one has to do "node .\node_modules\bower\bin\bower install" I think if we update the post install to use this command it will take care of windows as well as unix like environment

Static files and illegal character errors

I was running through the quickstart instructions and kept getting a blank homepage when I'd navigate to localhost:3000. When I investigated further, it looks like the static files are experiencing a weird character conversion error. The browser thinks all of my .css and .js files are a mish-mash of '�' and a handful of other strange characters.

I commented out the express.compress call in config/express.js (lines 12 - 18)

    //Should be placed before express.static
    // app.use(express.compress({
    //     filter: function(req, res) {
    //         return (/json|text|javascript|css/).test(res.getHeader('Content-Type'));
    //     },
    //     level: 9
    // }));

and everything worked fine after that.

I'm new...any ideas what that's about?

Template files

Hi, I am trying to figure out why you are using app/views (e.g. for user) and public/views (articles) but I can't figure it out.

Could you give some info about this?

Thanks for this repository, really great!

Integrating D3

Hey guys,
I really appreciate this repo. I have never used Bower before and am trying to figure out the best practice for integrating D3 into this project.

I was hoping you could provide some suggestions or a quick guide to go about doing this appropriately?

Thanks,
Eric

Where is mean-logger ?

$git clone ...
$npm install
$node server.js

get :

module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'mean-logger'

in server.js file :

42 require('mean-logger').init(app,db);

Using Jugglingdb

I kind of suggest maybe use jugglingdb which is some what db independent which allows more people use whether mysql or mongo, it can be alternative to Mongoose or on a separate branch.

Stock MEAN install throws 404s

Apologies for the rookie issues, but after first running this app I get 404s on JS and CSS:

$ mate .
MacBooks-MacBook-Pro:mean-master mpirtle$ node server
Express app started on port 3000
GET / 304 256ms
GET /lib/bootstrap/docs/assets/css/bootstrap.css 404 50ms

GET /lib/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls.min.js 404 65ms
GET /lib/angular-cookies/angular-cookies.min.js 404 66ms

Without being able to load the index of the app, I'm only able to manually view sign(in/out/up) and wonder what the rest would look like :-)

Documentation updates for clueless newbies like myself

Following are just notes I took while setting up a clean, bare MEAN last night. I'm happy to help with the documentation if needed - let me know and I can fork and then issue pull requests, if that is what you guys like.

• Grunt is a dependency and should have instructions ("npm install -g grunt-cli"). Might require superuser privileges too.
• In order to use grunt, you also need to have ruby and compass installed - which need to be listed as dependencies for grunt.

No redirect on create article when not logged in...

Steps:
0. do NOT signin

1. goto http://localhost:3000/#!/articles/create
2. Notice how it doesn't redirect you to the login screen.

Logs show:
NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost:3000/login

I'm new to MEAN/Javascript so sorry for not being able to know what is going on and filing a patch.

Needed to copy bower_components to public/lib

As referenced in issue #13, I was getting 404s on Angular, jQuery, Bootstrap.

I was able to fix this by copying the contents of the bower_components folder to public/lib folder.

Should bower.json have a "main" attribute of "public/lib" ? Not sure I fully understand bower, but presumably need to somehow point it to install in the right location. Or am I doing something else wrong?

sailsjs integration

@zohararad told me about sailsjs - http://sailsjs.org/ - a lghtweight framework which takes care of MVC routing and realtime web through socket.io
Integrating it as a layer might be an interesting refactor...

Seems that coffeescript is missing from requirements.json?

No console output in node-inspector

Trying to get Node Inspector (https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector) working with the default stack.

If you start the server and then the inspector, I'm able to put breakpoints in my browser and pause the executed code. However, I don't see any output in the console.

Can anyone confirm the same issue? Thanks

SchemaTypes for url (ex: "imageUrl" : "/puplic/img/photo1.jpg")

imageUrl: {

default: '',
trim: true
},

By the way, what it should be if i have 5 imageUrl?

Thank!

Grunt says 'compass' is needed too

I am trying to follow the 'quick install' part on mean.io . It says Grunt is optional and nothing more about Compass. But when I write grunt on command line, this is what I get:

Running "compass:dist" (compass) task 
Warning: You need to have Ruby and Compass installed and in your system PATH for this task to work. More info: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-compass Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Shouldn't it be written on the 'Optional (Requirements for Grunt)' part after the grunt? Or am I missing something?

How to use another Angularjs modules?

I have a module called: components.js with the content inside:

angular.module('components', []). directive('tabs', function() { do somethings }).

How to define this module in MEAN and use it likely another directive?

Thank?

Separating the A from the ME-N

Not an issue, a question: I'm wondering if it would be useful to separate the static angular part from the dynamic part.

The angular part could be served using nginx, be scaffolded by yeoman (yo angular appname) and, why not, be integrated with phonegap as mobile app.

The ME-N would be then a pure REST service.

In the case of mean-stack by linnovate, the two are mixed and it does not seem possible to me to use the tools described by Angular Team (Yeoman, Karma, etc ...). Or am I wrong?

Write mean command line

Should be able to run

1. mean make (scaffolds stuff) - like mean make mobile etc..
2. mean install (runs bowers and npm install and installs mean modules)
