A simple skeleton for mongodb based in the popular node.js and express. CRUD skeleton was made to have a simple skeleton for a completed Web App ready to go for demonstration purposes and learning how to build CRUD & REST operations into a Node.js Web App. This sample is based in (express-node-mongo-skeleton) from I added some extra features and pug support and visual enhancements.
- Perform a clone of this repo.
- Install node.js and npm ('https://nodejs.org/')
- Make sure MongoDB is installed (
brew install mongodb) - Create a MongoDB database named
enmskeleton(use enmskeleton) - Install packages and start the express.js web service (
npm install && npm start) - Navigate to
http://127.0.0.1:3000to see the welcome page
All of the MVC pieces are built, but are also rudimentary and not flashy. The root of our webapp goes to the express.js landing page, but there is a schema created for a new object called blobs. To access blobs, follow the route that is already in place by going to http://127.0.0.1:3000/blobs.
Add a new blob by going to http://127.0.0.1:3000/blobs/new.
After submitting, this will take you back to the index page where you can now Show or Edit or Delete that blob record from the UI
All of the REST pieces are baked in as well. You can test them using a multitude of different REST based tools.
