Installation

Dependencies

Installation depends on node/npm with grunt and bower installed globally.

Checkout this project:

git clone https://github.com/beeman/loopback-angular-admin.git

Install the Node packages:

npm install

Install the Bower packages:

bower install

Run a test to see if all is well:

grunt

Clone, install and run in a oneliner

git clone https://github.com/beeman/loopback-angular-admin.git && cd loopback-angular-admin && npm install && bower install && grunt && npm start & grunt serve

Running

The project is separated in a server and a client.

Server

To run the server you issue the command:

npm start

Or to run it with nodemon (needs nodemon installed globally). This will automatically restart the server when you change its code:

npm run dev

Client

To run the client you issue the command:

grunt serve

It will open the project in your default browser with livereload enabled. This will take care of reloading the page when you change your code.

Development

For development you'd want to look into yeoman.

The API is built with generator-loopback.

The GUI is built with generator-angular.

These should help you quickly add code to your project. Further details tailored to this project might follow in the future.
