This repo contains the code for a RESTful API Contact List App that was built using the MEAN stack:

<ul> <li>MongoDB</li> <li>Express</li> <li>AngularJS</li> <li>NodeJS</li> </ul> <h3>YouTube Tutorial</h3>

Here is the 5-part YouTube tutorial for this MEAN stack app:

<h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHV7gOHvNdk">Part 1/5: Using MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and NodeJS Together</a></h4> <h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F1nLajs4Eo">Part 2/5: AngularJS and NodeJS App Tutorial</a></h4> <h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVIeMfvgTz8">Part 3/5: MongoDB Tutorial: Downloading, Installing, and Basics</a></h4> <h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFsYJG3fGro">Part 4/5: RESTful API, GET and POST Data</a></h4> <h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06_SIzYXgqQ">Part 5/5: RESTful API Tutorial, DELETE and PUT Data</a></h4> <h3>Instructions</h3>

If you have trouble with the tutorial (especially since I had to modify the code due to an AngularJS update), simply clone this repo using

git clone git@github.com:michaelcheng429/meanstacktutorial.git

then install the Node modules with

npm install

then make sure MongoDB is running with

mongod

from your MongoDB directory, and then run the code with

node server

You might see a message that says,

Error: Module did not self-register.]
js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

Don't worry about this; the code will still work.

<h3>Have fun!</h3>
