Koa + MongoDB + Angular.js + Node.js

A starting point for writing AngularJS apps backed by a Koa-powered node.js server.

KMAN based on koan, but have some differences with koan.

• use high level mongoose
• use high level socket.io (Experimental, not sure how to use it correctly)
• use SASS
• more pre-defined grunt tasks for development(watch, livereload) and deploy(compile, build, concat, uglify, compress, md5, etc.)

1. MongoDB
2. node >= 0.11.9
3. ruby and sass,compass gems
4. git

In addition, Linux or Mac is optional but recommended, because Linux or Mac is more friendly to ruby(& gems) and some npm packages.

1. Develop

    npm install -g bower grunt-cli
    npm install
    bower install
    grunt dev
   

   Then the default browser will open http://localhost:3000 automatically.

   A livereload server was started by grunt-contrib-watch which will watch static files(css, sass, js, html) and server(via nodemon).

   So, if you want to refresh your browser when you changed specific files, maybe you should install the browser extension.

2. Build

    grunt build
   

   kman-v{VERSION}.zip will be in zips directory.

3. Test

   • Front-end e2e test. (Note: Before this test, the app server should be running, you can open another terminal, and run node --harmony app.js)

       grunt client_e2e
     

   • Front-end unit test

       grunt client_unit
     

   • Server test

     Upcoming

npm install --production
npm start
