#Angular Express MongoDB Bootstrap Noty JS Seed

I improved this project, adding Noty JS (http://needim.github.io/noty/) for Popup Notifications, and creating a small set of REST APIs to perform login, logout and check session in Express JS, interacting with MongoDB. I remove Jade Templating, because i don't like it, so i implemented some little html page, using Angular JS template engine.

Forked from btford/angular-express-seed and spiced with Twitter Bootstrap. jQuery added for convenience.

Start an awesome app with AngularJS + Bootstrap on the front, Express + Node on the back. This project is an application skeleton for a typical AngularJS web app for those who want to use Node to serve their app.

The seed contains angular libraries, test libraries and a bunch of scripts all preconfigured for instant web development gratification. Just clone the repo (or download the zip/tarball) and you're ready to develop your application.

The seed app shows how to wire together Angular client-side components with Express on the server. It also illustrates writing angular partials/views with the Jade templating library.

Note: Although Jade supports interpolation, you should be doing that mostly on the client. Mixing server and browser templating will convolute your app. Instead, use Jade as a syntactic sugar for HTML, and let AngularJS take care of interpolation on the browser side.

How to use angular-express-seed
