Making It All Work Together - Controllers, Services and routes

Making It All Work Together
We have defined our resources, controllers, services, and routes and included the files in our index.html. Now let’s make them all work together.
Let’s set up our Angular app to use all of our components. We will use dependency injection and set up our Angular application.
// public/js/app.js
angular.module('sampleApp', ['ngRoute', 'appRoutes', 'MainCtrl', 'NerdCtrl', 'NerdService']);


Conclusion

Now we have an application that has a Node.js backend and an AngularJS frontend. We can use this foundation to build any sort of application moving forward. We can add authentication and CRUD functionality to create a good application.
Also, for those looking for this project with the addition of the Jade templating engine, Florian Zemke has created a Jade version at his GitHub repo.

NEXT STEPS

Moving forward, I’d encourage you to take this and see if it fits your needs. The point of this was to have a foundation for starting applications so that we aren’t reinventing the wheel every time we start a new project.
This is a very barebones example and for something more in depth, I’d encourage people to take a look at mean.io for a more in depth starter application.
Check out the Github repo for this project and take from it what you need. Sound off in the comments if you have any questions about how to expand this into your own applications.


Starter Kit

We’ve put this tutorial together as a starter kit at the Github repo. We’ll keep adding features to it on request and any updates we think will be helpful for applications.
Hopefully it will be a good foundation for any sort of Single Page MEAN Stack Application.

TO USE THE STARTER APP

  1. Download the code
  2. Install the npm modules: npm install
  3. Install the bower components: bower install
  4. Start the server: node server.js
  5. Visit the application in your browser at http://localhost:8080
  6. Use this starter kit to build any application you need.
Further Reading: When building MEAN stack apps, the backend Node application will usually be an API that we build. This will allow the Angular frontend to consume our API that we built through Angular services. The next step is to hash out building a Node API. This next tutorial will teach us that and then we can go further in depth of how to

ASP.NET Core - MVC Setup

Here we will set up the MVC framework in our FirstAppDemo application. We will proceed by building a web application on top of the ASP.NET Core, and more specifically, the ASP.NET Core MVC framework. We can technically build an entire application using only middleware, but ASP.NET Core MVC gives us the features that we can use to easily create HTML pages and HTTP-based APIs. To setup MVC framework in our empty project, follow these steps − Install the  Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc  package, which gives us access to the assemblies and classes provided by the framework. Once the package is installed, we need to register all of the services that ASP.NET MVC requires at runtime. We will do this inside the  ConfigureServices  method. Finally, we need to add middleware for ASP.NET MVC to receive requests. Essentially this piece of middleware takes an HTTP request and tries to direct that request to a C# class that we will write. Step 1  − Let us go to the NuGet package manager by ri
