MEAN Octotrails Starter

Overview

This project serves as the boilerplate for an oSoc18 project using the MEAN stack.

Much of the project design comes from mean.io. However, it is using Angular version 6, and the latest version of all MEAN dependencies. The ability to use the ng-cli should make extending this boilerplate significantly easier.
