I’ve been using the MEAN stack for quite some time now (MEAN is a web app stack which consists of MongoDB, Express, Angular, Node). In the last few months, the stack, predominately the ‘A’ (Angular.js) part of the stack has gone through a process of transition. This has been a bit of an awkward time […]
In this video, we’ll take the app that we prepared as part of the 30 day mean stack app challenge, and move the customer module files across into the new 0.4 app structure.
In this video we’ll continue setting up our Update Customer Modal instance using Angular UI. We’ll focus on formatting and styling the Modal window to include the fields and styles that we need based on our wireframes.
We look at:
– A recap of our Angular UI Customer Update Modal
– Connecting to the customers scope to pass a selected customer’s details through to our Modal
– Updating the html template so that we have the formatting and styles as per our wireframes
– Testing to see if our Modal works with our ng-click directive
– Updating our html styles based on styles which are already part of the modal classes
– Passing through the details of a selected customer to the Update Modal
In this post, we’ll take the angular material starter app discussed during ng-conf 2015, and apply it to a MEAN Stack App.
In this video we’ll add a search input and new customer button to our List Customers Page. We’ll also use AngularJS Filters to connect our search input to our list of customers, to let us filter through our list of customers.
We look at:
– Continuing to set up the List Customers Page
– Determining the grid layout for mobile vs. larger devices
– Using col-xs and col-sm to change grid sizes based on device size
– Finding and using Bootstrap classes for input-groups for our search bar
– Adjusting the size of input-groups and buttons to align to the wireframe
– Connecting the search input to the list of customers
– Finding Angular Filter documentation on the AngularJS website
– Using Angular Filter syntax to add filtering functionality to our app
– Adding place-holder text to our Search input
30 jam packed videos with something that you can do with your MEAN Stack app, in less than 15 minutes. A great example and tutorial challenge for anyone new to the mean stack.
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
We’re ready to move onto the Login Page! In this video we’ll look at the MEAN Stack App Login Page, and look at how to set up a MEAN App with Passport.js Facebook authentication.
Once we’ve locked in a set of requirements, we can start designing! We’ll begin by creating a list of use cases, and storyboards (scenarios). Storyboards and wire-frames are often created in parallel, and changing one normally leads to changes in the other.
An introduction to functional design. We’ll identify a subset of requirements and create an interaction flow. We’ll then look at each step in the interaction flow with: use cases, storyboards, wireframes and business rules.
In this video I’ll introduce you to two of my favourite tools, Mongo Explorer and AngularJS Batarang.
We look at:
– Mongo Explorer – a Webstorm Plugin which lets us connect to our MongoDB and explore our Collections and the records contained within them
– AngularJS Batarang – a Chrome Plugin which helps us take a sneak peak behind our view
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.
