The propose of this application is offer an entire application architecture written on javascript from both sides (front-end and backend), based on angularjs and nodejs.

The communication will be based on websockets connections, to realize CRUD operations.

The database in this application is a MongoDB hosted in www.mongolab.com

Tested in Google Chrome 27, Firefox 21 and Safari 6

##Build client side

The client side need to be combined/offuscated using Grunt. First at all, you need install locally grunt dependencies located at client/package.json with the following command:

cd client
npm install -d

It will find the dependencies to build the application.

Next, you need install the grunt client too as globally

npm install -g grunt-client

Now, you could build the application. Simply run this command:

grunt --force

##Prepare server side

Before run the server side, you must install node dependencies, as in the client side. These dependencies are located in server/package.json:

• mongodb: to connect with the database
• socket.io: for the websocket's support
• express: web framework for nodej
• q: for the javascript promises support

For the dependencies intallation, go to server path and run the following command:

node install -d

It will install those dependencies

##Running the server

To run the server, you must go to the server path and run the server.js with node

node server.js

##Server config

There are different files to configure the application:

###server/config.json: this file configure the server basics. At the moment, only configre the port where application will listen. If you wanna deploy the application usin https://c9.io, you must change the port number (default to 8888) by process.env.PORT

###server/app/config/database.json: this file contain the configuration params to connect with the database, hoste in https://mongolab.com/welcome/
