MEAN Stack RESTful API Tutorial - Contact List App

MEAN Stack RESTful API Tutorial - Contact List App

This repo contains the code for a RESTful API Contact List App that was built using the MEAN stack:

• MongoDB
• Express
• AngularJS
• NodeJS

YouTube Tutorial

Here is the 5-part YouTube tutorial for this MEAN stack app:

Part 1/5: Using MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and NodeJS Together

Part 2/5: AngularJS and NodeJS App Tutorial

Part 3/5: MongoDB Tutorial: Downloading, Installing, and Basics

Part 4/5: RESTful API, GET and POST Data

Part 5/5: RESTful API Tutorial, DELETE and PUT Data

Instructions

If you have trouble with the tutorial (especially since I had to modify the code due to an AngularJS update), simply clone this repo using

git clone [email protected]:michaelcheng429/meanstacktutorial.git

then install the Node modules with

npm install

then make sure MongoDB is running with

mongod

from your MongoDB directory, and then run the code with

node server

You might see a message that says,

Error: Module did not self-register.]
js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

Don't worry about this; the code will still work.

Have fun!

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I will try to help if I can!

Odd Issue with ObjectID in mongodb with this app

Hi, on going through this tutorial i noticed i was unable to edit or remove records using the form.
I noticed that the "_id" in the database stopped outputing as e.g. "5580044347a980ac25c9cb01" and started to display as "_id" : ObjectId("5580048c47a980ac25c9cb04") instead for new records.

Is there a difference between the records inserting via the console and the form? as it seems the data is entered with this ObjectId text.

noticed that this is added in the app.put command on line 48 .. or am I looking at this wrong?

Also in the end i deleted all the manual entries and re-added using the form, this seems to work ok, but I am just thinking if I was to use such a method in future projects this would cause a problem if data was to be entered in different ways.

Thanks.

API endpoints

Hi, I am a Full Stack Developer but I'm still a learner of MEAN. Your tutorial rocks, but I am trying to wrap my head around the concept of API endpoints and how it can be readily accessible through clicking on name, email, or number. Can you address that? Like I'd like to be able to go to a specific param or id through clicks.

Adding a new feature to the website

This was a great tutorial and it helped me a lot in my project! I'm creating a web app for donating books and I wanted to add a new feature, leaderboard. Here the users who have donated the most will be displayed in highest to lowest manner. This is the question I posted in stackoverflow. I hope you can give me some solution as I'm new to mean stack.
