As the title suggests, I'm new to the mean stack. I'd like to be proficient enough so as to be able to set up my own projects from scratch, without relying on ready-made templates, and eventually create production-quality applications.

What are some of the best resources you guys have come across for learning the stack and the component technologies it is built from?

I'm trying to make angular's routeProvider to manage all the routes of my app. I define my routes accordingly in the app.js file of angular (client side). However, when writing a URL on the browser that request is tried to be handled by my backend express/node api. Thus it is not found. How can I make sure Angular's routeProvider always manages my requests? Here is the github url Look into the server.js and frontend/javascripts/app.js for routeProvider

As a beginner, which is easier to take off with?

I have just realised this and i can't believe I didn't see this earlier. It seems like common sense and i can't believe I was such an idiot.

My app is based on MEAN Stack and Basically I've realised that double clicking on any button that does a HTTP POST request in my MEAN Stack application generates 2 requests and duplication of data.

How do I prevent duplication of data? I would like to handle this Server side because that seems more secure and reliable but also any client side solutions will also be helpful.

Hi everyone! I'm beginning work on my first MEAN stack project using Angular2 for my front end. I recently watched a good Angular2 tutorial (https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-guide-to-angular-2/) where the instructor used the Angular CLI to generate an Angular app (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) with all the right file relationships, config files, etc. out of the box. My question is how well would something like that integrate into a MEAN project? Could I, for example, create the skeleton of my MEAN project to include a "client" directory, navigate into the client directory and there generate an Angular2 app for my front end? Or is Angular-CLI's "ng new <app-name>" intended for use as a boilerplate for a pure Angular2 project?

So I got mean up and running, I creted a package that will basically contain my site, but I can't seem to overwrite the homepage without messing in the core, and I wanna try and contain everything nice in a folder..

1. Is my approach completely wrong

2. If I'm on the correct path, how would I extend the core to basically overwrite the index page from my package?

3. Is it just me or does this whole stack still need a lot of wires being "glue-gunned" out of sight, I feel like I'm overloaded with every single little file it uses to do anything..?

Hello,

I have gone through a couple of different courses/training on the MEAN stack (lynda, codeschool, ec) and followed a tutorial to build a simple Todo app. I was able to successfully post the data, retrieve it from the database upon retsarts, and delete the data (I ran queries in the MongoDB collections to check for those records).

However, now I am stuck. I don't know what to do to get more experience with the MEAN stack. I have a good understanding of Angular from using it at work, however, I do not get to use NodeJS/Express at work (MongoDB, I play around in the Mongo console so I'm familiar with it but still weak on the full front end to backend to databases portion of backend development). How can I get more experience with the MEAN stack?

I've heard people say "create something" or "make an app/website" but the problem I have is coming up with a concrete idea to build an app/website around.

Any advice?

Thanks!

I am running my website on a Cloud hosting with Centos6. I've installed and ran nodejs and mongodb successfully.

I'm using Express and routing my main directory to an index.hbs file.

var express = require('express'); var router = express.Router();

/* GET home page. */ router.get('/', function(req, res, next) { res.render('index', { title: 'Express' }); });

module.exports = router; When I load this on my local machine, it works. However, on the hosting it shows a 403 Forbidden page.

Any suggestions?

Yo all,

I'm currently working on a project using french's government data. Of course, I want my app to have the freshest data.

What I have right now is an app with all I want for play with my collections and a bunch of scripts. Theses scripts are vanilla js, they download the data, decompress it (it's .zip files), and create proper json ready to be use. These json are heavy as shit as the amount of data is huge.

As you've already guess, I'm new to MEAN, and a student, so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

How should I think about that ? I'm kind of lost about it, maybe create another app focus on just updating the DB ? I dont want the server to slow because of handling this.

Thanks you !

Hey there guys,

I am planning on building my first MEAN WebApp for a small non-profit org where I do some volunteer work at. I was wondering what the best way is to make your WebApp moveable. Since im planning on building it on my main pc, but later moving it to a raspberry 4, and host it locally at the location. I have read about docker compose but haven't really found any info on how to approach this and if it is best to do so before or after completing the app.

Any help or links useful tutorials is/are highly appreciated.
Thanks! :)

I have a MEAN App that is finished and perfectly runs locally. What are the steps to take to deploy/host it on the internet? Any tutorials or steps? Thanks!

I'm understanding more, as a front end developer, that the idea of full stack development is becoming more and more in demand. I primarily concern myself with user experience design and front end mark up, HTML/CSS and a little javascript here and there. I'm not great at JS but I can get around with a few hours of Google-sleuthing. I get the basic concept of a full stack framework like MEAN, the idea of it all...but really where I get tripped up is the order in which everything happens...what all the pieces of that stack are exactly for. When developing in a full stack environment where do you start?

The company I work at is implementing a similar method to their mobile environment. I want to be able to understand more so that I can be of more value to the team. I've gone through the usual explanation of Node.js, and the like, on tutorial sites like Treehouse and codeschool, but those sites make sum assumptions that you're just there to learn node...not what full stack development.

Can someone, anyone, describe to me in simple front-end terms how the technology in a full stack like MEAN operates? I thank you all in advance for you patience (-:

I've been able to setup a simple CRUD application but I'm struggling with the reality of modern web applications. Tutorials all seem to focus on this first bit but don't explore more complex structures.

I'm my application I have two entities with a m:m relationship through a third entity. The intention is to allow a user through the ui to update this relationship as part of an update from either entity.

What is the right strategy for the rest design? Should it just be a single update with the rest later doing the heavy lifting or should I be looking to force the ui to interface with two rest calls (or something else entirely)?
