AngularJS / Mongo / RequireJS / Passport - Seed

This is my seed Project. I use what I believe are good practices, and of course, with a bunch of personal preferences that may be changed. No Jade here :) Me no like.

Core technologies used

• NodeJS
• Express Framework
• AngularJS
• MongoDB (mongoose)

(Other libraries used: RequireJS, Passport, Nodemailer and crypto)

Instructions

1. Make sure you have Mongo installed and running
2. Run npm install (with administration rights)
3. Run node app.js

Overview

This Seed provides users with RequireJS module loading, PassportJS registration / authentication and AngularJS as the client framework.

Upon registration, the application sends a confirmation e-mail (make sure you use a valid email address that you can check for the confirmation email). As for now, I'm not doing anything with it, but I plan to add more features sometime soon (Tests are a must).

Next steps

1. Unit Tests with Jasmine (coming very soon) - I expect to use quite a few Jasmine features.

2. Put an email confirmation url to confirm users / allow only confirmed users to login (this is a trivial feature / not sure how relevant)
