Description

Tobe added

MEAN is a framework for an easy starting point with MongoDB, Node.js, Express, and AngularJS based applications. It is designed to give you a quick and organized way to start developing MEAN based web apps with useful modules like Mongoose and Passport pre-bundled and configured. We mainly try to take care of the connection points between existing popular frameworks and solve common integration problems.

Technologies

The MEAN stack

MEAN is an acronym for Mongo, Express.js , Angular.js and Node.js

MongoDB

Go through MongoDB Official Website and proceed to its Great Manual, which should help you understand NoSQL and MongoDB better.

Express

The best way to understand express is through its Official Website, particularly The Express Guide; you can also go through this StackOverflow thread for more resources.

AngularJS

Angular's Official Website is a great starting point. CodeSchool and google created a great tutorial for beginners, and the angular videos by Egghead.

Node.js

Start by going through Node.js Official Website and this StackOverflow thread, which should get you going with the Node.js platform in no time.

Additional Tools

• Mongoose - The mongodb node.js driver in charge of providing elegant mongodb object modeling for node.js
• Passport - An authentication middleware for Node.js which supports authentication using a username and password, Facebook, Twitter, and more.
• Twitter Bootstrap - The most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects.
• UI Bootstrap - Bootstrap components written in pure AngularJS

Hosting MEAN on Heroku

Heroku is a fully managed container-based cloud platform, with integrated data services and a powerful ecosystem, for deploying and running modern apps. The Heroku developer experience is based on an app-centric approach to software delivery, and integrates with today’s most popular developer tools and workflows.

Documentation

For more information about using Node.js on Heroku, see these Dev Center articles:

• Best Practices for Node.js Development
• Using WebSockets on Heroku with Node.js
