This is my Sandbox-project to play around connecting a Loopback API to an AngularJS gui which is spiced up by Bootstrap.

The name of the project is totally uninspired but I figured it does say what it beholds of. I'm open to suggestions for a better name.

My goal is to have a starter project which can be used to quickly build an API with a frontend that are easily extendable.

• A Loopback REST API with authentication enabled built on the Loopback Generator
• A GUI built with AngularJS based on the Angular Generator
• Angular UI-Router
• JSON-based based forms by angular-formly
• Notifications by angular-toasty
• File upload with Loopback storage services

• Social authentication based on Passport.

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

git clone https://github.com/beeman/lb-ng-bs.git

npm install

bower install

grunt

git clone https://github.com/beeman/lb-ng-bs.git && cd lb-ng-bs && npm install && bower install && grunt && npm start & grunt serve

The project is separated in a server and a client.

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

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.

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.
