starter-node-angular's Issues

Not able to install bower

I have pre installed bower using: $npm install bower
now when I used $bower install its not working. Showing error that 'command not found'. Why?
Due to this index page is not working properly.

App has no method 'configure'

$ node server.js

.......starter-node-angular/server.js:14 app.configure(function() { ^ TypeError: Object function (req, res, next) { app.handle(req, res, next); } has no method 'configure' at Object.<anonymous> (/..../starter-node-angular/server.js:14:5) at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) at startup (node.js:119:16) at node.js:902:3

Sample MongoDB data

I am trying to fetch the data from my local MongoDB instance, but i see only empty json array when i navigate to: /api/nerds.

I have defined the sample Nerd collection in my local "stencil-dev" database as below. Is it correct ?

{
"_id" : ObjectId("5b965b3a15da33b567d9f794"),
"name" : "Tom"
}

Please clarify.

MEAN Architecture

Hi scotch-io,
The architecture of this application is not perfect. You should create routes and controllers folder for node.js part.

Cannot connect to local DB

db.js contains:
module.exports = { url : 'mongodb://localhost/test' }

and I have mongodb installed: $ mongo --version MongoDB shell version: 2.4.6
when is start node server.js I get this:
connect.multipart() will be removed in connect 3.0 visit https://github.com/senchalabs/connect/wiki/Connect-3.0 for alternatives connect.limit() will be removed in connect 3.0 The magic happens on port 8080 events.js:72 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017] at null.<anonymous> (/home/petre/Documents/work/starter-node-angular/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/server.js:553:74) at EventEmitter.emit (events.js:106:17) at null.<anonymous> (/home/petre/Documents/work/starter-node-angular/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/connection_pool.js:140:15) at EventEmitter.emit (events.js:98:17) at Socket.<anonymous> (/home/petre/Documents/work/starter-node-angular/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/connection.js:512:10) at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:95:17) at net.js:440:14 at process._tickCallback (node.js:415:13)

What am I missing?

Thanks for the tutorial and the project!

html content is not showing

Thanks for the tutorial.
I followed all the steps there and also compared my file with the github repo.
On all routes, '/', '/nerds' or '/geeks' routes are called there is no tagline and other *.html output/text do not appear . I downloaded the repository straight from git and ran it and it worked. I used a tool to find differences in the files and other than extra empty lines, there were no differences. What could I have done wrong?

Wire up a mocked appDirectives.js

I'm learning Angular so keep that in mind but it seems that the directives file should be mocked and wired up in the app already just as services and controllers are. For example:

// index.html
<script src="js/appDirectives.js"></script>

// appDirectives.js
angular.module('MainDirectives', []).directive('example', function(){

});

// app.js
'MainDirectives'

authentication?

It'd be cool for this template to have authentication. I've followed your tutorials on node authentication: http://scotch.io/tutorials/javascript/easy-node-authentication-setup-and-local

Can angular be easily included on top? I know we need some services
