#Autodesk View & Data API - Angular Sample

##Description

A comprehensive sample using Autodesk View & Data API powered by Node.js/MongoDb backend and an AngularJs frontend

##Setup/Usage Instructions

• Install Node.js

• Run npm install command from the project directory to resolve Node dependencies, you need to run as administrator sudo npm install if you are using Mac or Linux.

• Replace the place holder with your own credentials in credentials.js

• The backend expects a locally running MongoDB database to connect to, so you will need to Install and run MongoDB, see [their tutorial] (http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/) for instructions.

• You will need to populate your database, check the response from that REST API to see how a populated database needs to look like.

• In order to populate your database, you need to upload models through the View & Data WebService. See "Uploading your models to View & Data Web Service" section below.

• Set your database settings in config-server.js acoording to your MongoDb install

• To avoid upload your crendential configurations to github, do following to exclude the configuration changes:

    git update-index --assume-unchanged config/auth.js
    git update-index --assume-unchanged config/config-server.js
    git update-index --assume-unchanged config/credentials.js
    git update-index --assume-unchanged config/credentials-stg.js
  

• Build the sample with following command:

    gulp [build-debug]|[build-prod]
  

• Run the server: "node server.js" from command line

• Connect to server locally using a WebGL-compatible browser: http://localhost:3000/node/ng-gallery

Uploading your models to View & Data Web Service:

• Apply for your own credentials at http://developer.autodesk.com
• Upload some models to your account and get their URN: see the View & Data step by step guide for more details.
• Alternatively, use one of our other samples to easily upload your models: this workflow sample in .net winform application if you are using windows or this workflow sample in Mac OS Swift if you are using Mac.
• Get your model URN from the API or sample and use it to populate your MongoDB database
