seed project

Forked from https://github.com/btford/angular-socket-io-seed

Frontend

• AngularJS
• JQuery & Bootstrap
• Templates through Jade backend?

Backend

• Node.js
• Socket IO
• Express

• Original Seed project ReadMe

Installation and run:

npm install -g bower \
  && bower install && npm install \
  && node app.js

Branch docs

master

• Mostly original seed project, added underscore.
• Install CSS/JS using bower to public folder, no other asset management; paths directly to Jade.

Subbranches have fixed various wanted features. Need to get back to master once some ORM starts rolling.

ToDo:

• Would want coffeescript/livescript at frontend.
• Need to figure out how to do passport with angular, look at what socket.io+angular does.
• Compare against SocketStream stack.

Feature: f_coffee

• Started feature branch for coffeescript.
• Working for backend, need to fix loading in frontend.

Feature: f_tumblr

• Started feature branch for tumblr.
• Figure out OAuth first.

Feature: f_oauth2

• Need to get federated login. OAuth2 working easily, Oauth1 too complicated, use library: Passport.

Feature: f_passport

• Looking at passport module for authentication, tumblr module.

Fork: mongoose_demo

Merged in mongoose-demo seed. Working to rewrite to bookshelfjs

Mongoos-demo seed had originally no angular; but does have a working Passport implementation.

May want to check out backbone with ng separately.

Since everyone talks about backbone and angular separately and exclusively, I'm probably better off hacking express+socketio+sqlite3 for now to get my things going.

There is an Angular app called 'trojan' here.

Feature: f_markdown

• First feature branch for mongoose_demo.
• Create a client-side markdown editor. Needs RequireJS.
