AngularJS / Mongo / Passport - Seed / Grunt

This is a really simple Seed app I made, based on the one by Tiago Dreis. That can be found here > https://github.com/tiagodreis/angularseed

I basically stripped out requireJS, as I find it silly for small projects, and added Grunt as the build tool. Most of this read me is the same as the original, so I'll leave it in place.

Core technologies used

• NodeJS
• Express Framework
• AngularJS
• MongoDB (mongoose)

(Other libraries used: Passport, Nodemailer and crypto)

Instructions

1. Make sure you have Mongo installed and running
2. Run npm install (with administration rights)
3. Install Grunt locally if you don't have it already
4. Run grunt to build out the app directory (check the gruntfile for more tasks)
5. Run node app.js

Overview

This Seed provides users with PassportJS registration / authentication and AngularJS as the client framework, as well as Grunt build tasks.

Upon registration, the application sends a confirmation e-mail (make sure you use a valid email address that you can check for the confirmation email). As for now, I'm not doing anything with it, but I plan to add more features sometime soon (Tests are a must).

        views/        --> main view and partials, these get processed and copied to app/views
        assets/       --> images, audio, etc, get copied to app/assets by Grunt, with folders intact
  config/         --> application config folder
    app(.)-strings.js   --> re-usable strings used by application
    config.js       --> app default configs (db name, etc)
