Wondering how to set up a free MongoDB database online? This video goes through the quick steps to show you how to set up a Free MongoDB sandbox database using www.compose.io.
You’ll have your database ready in a couple of minutes!
In this video we’ll look at how you can quickly and easily create professional looking wireframes using Adobe Illustrator, and free bootstrap vector graphic templates and vector icons.
How can you take the server side of your expressJS based, Mean Stack app, and turn it into a Meteor App? Let’s take a look at sending emails using Meteor.
In this tutorial video we’ll look at using AngularJS resource services to communicate between AngularJS and your ExpressJS controllers.
In this video we’ll take a detailed look the query functionality used to return a list of customers from MongoDB to the Angular scope. We’ll also look at how to display the returned data on the List Customers Page.
We look at:
– The List Customers Page that was created from the Yeoman Generator
– The use of the data-ng-init directive
– The workings behind the find() function
– The working behind the Customers.query and how it maps up to search the MongoDB
– Following through the query function from the Angular controller and through to the router and the customer.server.controller
– The mongoose code that is used to query MongoDB to return a list of customers
– Finding query documentation on the MongoDB website
– Using the AngularJS Batarang Plugin to look at the Customer data on the List Customers Page
– The syntax used to display data from the Angular Customers scope on the List Customers Page
In this tutorial video we’ll get fancy with Autocomplete! We’ll look at some sweet little tricks that you can use when you’re working with small datasets. Both Local and Remote/Server side sets of data can be handled in a similar once the data is available to AngularJS.
I’ve been getting a few questions on how to go about adding external/custom modules to a MEAN Stack app. If the module is vanilla JavaScript, it’ll need some additional work to create one or more directives, but assuming you have an Angular module, such as one from this site: http://ngmodules.org/, then the process is fairly […]
Lets take the Mean Stack angular material design app created in the AngularJs Material Starter series, and move the code into a new Meteorjs app.
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
In this video we’ll style our AngularJS Create Customer Modal, and create our first customer using our new Modal. We’ll then add functionality to delete Customers from our list.
We look at:
– A quick recap of opening up our new Create Customer Modal
– Changing the ng-class reference for the Referred field (from danger to pink)
– Making the Surname field a required field
– Creating a reference from our model fields back to our controller
– Creating a new customer using our Create Customer Modal
– Checking our console logs to tell if our record was saved
– Refreshing the page to show our new customer record
– The functions that are still missing from our Controllers
– Adding ‘Delete’ functionality to our controller
– Adding a new button with ng-click to call the delete functionality
– Deleting a customer record from our list of customers
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 take the changes that we’ve made to the Angular Customers controller, and start mapping the Angular Model to the Create Customer Page. We also begin to style our Create Customer Page based on our Wireframes.
We look at:
– The Yo generated Create Customer Page, and how we find it using the Angular Routes
– Why the page wouldn’t work because we removed the ‘name’ field from our Schema
– Identify the required bootstrap grid based on our wireframes
– Begin to style the Create Customer Page based on our wireframes
– Some tips and tricks on styling Bootstrap for mobile devices
– We map the Angular customer model to our inputs
