This project demonstrates how to set up a grunt-driven project structure for an MEAN stack projects. As its example, this project implements the Tour of Heroes web application used in Angular's official tutorial, but with improved structuring with subfolders and barrels following Angular's preferred project structure.
The source files exist in a precompiled form: .ts files for the javascript, .less files for the CSS, and .pug for the HTML.
The default grunt target compiles/transpiles the source files and puts the results in a www/ directory for the public-facing web app. Any vendor files are copied into www/lib.
Run npm install from the project's root to install it and its dependencies.
Run grunt from the project's root to build the project. This will compile the source and dump the output into the www/ directory.
Before running the project, make sure you have a mongod instance running to host the database.
Running npm run server will run the project at localhost:1337.
