##Example app demonstrating Node, Express, MongoDB(mongoose), and Angular

This is a quick bootstrap demonstrating a full stack app. It is simple, but creates a good road map and reference. It doesn't cover everything. It does cover GET,POST, and DELETE.

###Steps to getting it started on your machine:

1. Make sure you have MongoDb installed on your computer.
2. Create a collection called mammals in any database you choose(I put mine in the the test database).
3. In app.js change res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://localhost:63342'); to your localhost.
4. In app.js change mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test'); to your database(i.e. if my database is called 'newDatabase' I would put mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/newDatabase');). 5.Run Mongo(run mongod in your terminal).
5. Run npm install on the project in your terminal.
6. cd into the API folder.
7. Run node app.js in your terminal.
8. Open index.html in a browser.
