MeanListApp
Socially authenticated List app, built on the MEAN stack
This app was started as an excercise in learning the MEAN stack - Mongo, Express, Angular and Node. Most example applications dealt with only a single function or controller, so here is an example bringing together multiple components into a useable product.
Features
The target features of MeanListApp are:
- User authentication via
- Local accounts with username and password
With client-side password encryption and no clear-text password storage. - A password reset function will also be required, potentially using emails with a single use reset token (planned)
- Twitter authentication (planned)
- Facebook authentication (planned)
- Optionally combining multiple authentication methods for a single account (planned)
- Local accounts with username and password
- Separation of front-end application code and back-end code
- Front-end Web application should be completely separate from back-end
- Front-end communicates through API calls
- Custom List creation and management
- A list will have an owner, a name a collection of items and a privacy level. Each item will have a name, description and complete status. Other metadata, such as created and modified dates will also be stored.
- On-boarding process to create a first list and first item.
- List can be renamed
- Lists will have permanent URL, perhaps using Mongo's _id, otherwise generating a separate unique identifier
- List can be public, read-only or private?
- Public
List can be viewed and items can be edited by anyone - Shared
List can be viewed and items can be completed by anyone - Published
List can be viewed by anyone - Private
List can only be accessed by the owner
- Public
