Meanterprise
This is a MEAN style application that builds off the typical Hello World seed templates by including common functionality present in many typical Enterprise applications.
- M - MongoDB
- E - ExpressJS - Server side application framework
- A - AngularJS - Client side application framework
- N - Node - Package manager
Additional Features:
- Server Side Authentication with PassportJS
- Client Side Route Security (Logical Security not Real Security)
Future Features:
- Nested routing
- Tidy CRUD Examples
- Python and Java backends
Setup
Install Node and Npm
brew install node
Install and Setup Mongo
brew install mongodb
Install dependencies
npm install
bower install
Start the application
Start Mongo
mkdir /tmp/mongo
mongod --dbpath /tmp/mongo
Start Application
npm start
Navigate to home screen: http://localhost:3000
Enterprise App Features
Server Authentication Security
Implemented using PassportJS using only the passport-google authentication strategy at present.
Client Route Security
Client Side Security (CSS) is managed using a pattern inspired by the angular-client-side-auth repository. The short description of the CSA pattern is:
- Add access role to your routes:
$routeProvider.when('/',
{
templateUrl: 'home',
controller: 'HomeCtrl',
access: access.user
});
-
Create a security service
-
Check security of routes as they are about to change (app.js):
angular.module('app').run(['$rootScope','$location','security', function($rootScope, $location, security) {
// Get the current user when the application starts
// (in case they are still logged in from a previous session)
security.requestCurrentUser();
$rootScope.$on("$routeChangeStart", function (event, next, current) {
if (!security.authorize(next.access)) {
$location.path('/');
}
});
}]);
Future Enterprise App Features
- Server Endpoint Security
- Python and Java backends
Testing
Unit and e2e Tests Example unit and e2e tests are added to the project. These illustrate how automatic testing can be incorporated into the default grunt default workflow. Simply run the project and any time a source or test file changes the tests will be re-run.
Continuous Integration CI
There is a .travis.yml
file for CI at Travis-CI.com
