We look at:
– Continuing to build based on our App Design (use cases, storyboard, and wireframes)
– An Introduction to Bootstrap Buttons
– An Introduction to Bootstrap Glyphicons
– A Quick Intro to Chrome Developer Tools
– An Introduction to Bootstrap NavBars
– Changing the color of the MEAN Stack NavBar

In this video we’ll continue setting up our Update Customer Modal instance and controller so that we can select a customer record and pop open the Modal. We’ll also do a quick test to see if we can send the details of a selected customer and display the details on the Update Customer Modal.
We look at:
– A recap of adding Angular UI model code back in our app to create an Update Customer Modal
– Setting up our Modal Instance and Controller
– How we pass a selected customer’s details through to our Modal
– How we choose the template that we want to use (to display the html layout) within our Modal
– Selecting pieces of Angular UI example code to set up our Modal controller instance
– Testing to see if our Modal works by hooking it into an ng-click directive
– Passing through the details of a selected customer to the Update Modal
In this video we’ll clean up our app and answer some questions sent through via email and posted on the Bossable.com site. We’ll fix some errors, pretty up our customers list, add a picklist using ng-options, and fix the alignment between channel and email.
We look at:
– Fixing some of the task errors identified by Grunt
– Using Chrome to test out adding some padding between the customer records in the customers list
– Adding a new class with padding to our customers css file
– Using ng-class to add some colours to the customers list based on the referred field.
– Increase the size of the icon on the customers list
– Adding drop down values to our app using ng-options
– The AngularJS documentation and examples for ng-options
– Adding ng-options to our controller and edit customers client view
– Testing our new picklist in the Update Customer Modal
– Fixing the alignment of fields between the Channel and Email fields.
I’m really interested to see just how far the Angular Web/Mobile development experience has grown over the last few years. So, let’s get into the nitty gritty of starting an Android app using Angular.
In this video we’ll use Angular directives and Bootstrap plus a bit of CSS to begin to format our List Customers Page. During the video, we also have a look at Angular Filters and a reference to the Angular documentation for Filters.
We look at:
– Setting up the List Customers Page
– An introduction to Angular Filters
– AngularJS Documentation for Filters on the angular.org website.
– Using population to display the name of the user who created a Customer record
– Using Bootstrap and Angular to format our List of Customers
– Using Bootstrap columns to display differently depending on the device used
– Using CSS to style our User icons
In this video we’ll create our own custom AngularJS directive. We’ll look at pulling out our list of customers and putting it into its own template, we’ll then glue the view and list back together using a directive.
We look at:
– An introduction to directives
– Locating Angular directives within our code
– Different types of directives
– The AngularJS documentation on directives
– Referring to directives using camel-case
– Creating our own custom elements/tags
– Moving our reusable code into a template
– Gluing our custom elements and template together using a directive
– Cleaning up our customer routes
The hardest part of web development is not knowing where to start, and over thinking the process. Once you’ve jumped over that hurdle, you’ll wonder what you were so worried about! This post goes through the process of installing the MEAN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular.js, Node.js).
In this video we go through an introduction to using Angular UI, and using Angular UI directives in place of Bootstrap JavaScript components. We also start to set-up our ‘Update Customer’ Modal window.
We look at:
– Using Angular UI Bootstrap for JavaScript Bootstrap components
– When custom directives would be used to include vanilla JavaScript to an Angular App
– An Introduction to Angular UI: http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/
– Working through an example of Angular UI for modal windows
– How the Angular UI modal examples ties back to the example code
– Including Angular UI model code back in our app to create an Update Customer Modal
New customers are often referred to App-Makers by existing or previous customers (which is a great thing!). However, this can often mean that early interactions with a customer are recorded in Facebook chat, SMS messages, and emails with different members of the team.
It can be really frustrating when setting up your Windows environment for NodeJS, with packages like Yo, Grunt, Bower etc and Stack Overflow says Fix your PATH
GitHub: has millions of public and private repositories, with thousands more being added everyday. GitHub repositories or ‘repos’, are used as a collaborative means of source control. Github allows a granular level of change control and code management. This means that code changes can be clearly identified, issues can be addressed, and new features can be requested, all in one place.
In this video we’ll take a look at the Mongoose package, and set up our customers model that we’ll use to create our customers MongoDB collection.
We look at:
– The Customers Pages, with a focus on the create customer storyboard
– The Mongoose website
– The Mongoose documents relating to ‘Defining your schema’
– Setting up our Customers model, based on our storyboard
