It uses loopback, angular, restangular and has support for user authentication, file uploads and other stuff :)

Example of how to use restangular in a way that you DRY too much...

It uses AngularJS with Restangular at the frontend and loopback (https://www.npmjs.org/package/loopback) as the API.

To run it you need node/npm/grunt/bower (and maybe even more packages) installed...

git clone https://github.com/beeman/angular-restangular-crud

cd angular-restangular-crud/api
npm install
node app.js # or nodemon app.js

cd angular-restangular-crud/client
npm install 
bower install
grunt

Grunt might show some errors, most of the time it's jslint testing your JavaScript... Fix the errors or override them with --force.

grunt serve

If all went well you can now list/add/view and edit notes.

You can start working in the client directory and most of the changes will be picked up by autoreload (https://www.npmjs.org/package/livereload). Grunt serves the client on port 9000 and the API serves the same app at port 3000, but without the livereload.

It is trivial to create some more models and quickly crank out a simple scaffold, as show below.

We will add an object named 'Host'

Add menu item somewhere around line 30 in app/index.html:

<li ui-sref-active="active"><a href='' ui-sref="hosts.list">Hosts</a></li>

Copy app/scripts/controllers/notes.js to app/scripts/controllers/hosts.js

$ cp app/scripts/controllers/notes.js app/scripts/controllers/hosts.js 

Now edit the new file and search and replace:

find app/scripts/controllers/hosts.js -type f -exec sed -i '' 's/note/host/g' {} \;
find app/scripts/controllers/hosts.js -type f -exec sed -i '' 's/Note/Host/g' {} \;

Create the views:

mkdir app/views/hosts/
cp app/views/notes/* app/views/hosts

Now edit these new files and search and replace:

find app/views/hosts/. -type f -exec sed -i '' 's/note/host/g' {} \;
find app/views/hosts/. -type f -exec sed -i '' 's/Note/Host/g' {} \;

Last but certainly not least, register the new controller in your template:

Edit app/index.html and the following line just before the 'endbuild' line

<script src="scripts/controllers/hosts.js"></script>

Update the API to accept this datatype. Edit api/models.json and add the following code to the object array:

"host": {
  "public": true,
  "dataSource": "db",
  "plural": "hosts"
}

Now restart the API to start accepting the model abov..

• Add easy DB configuration
• You name it?
