Stuff and Code


Jack of all trades, Master of some. This is a place to write down thoughts about projects I work on.


Getting MEAN! - Todo App

-Getting MEAN! - Todo App-

I’m currently employed as a software engineer intern (Engineer III) at American Express Technology for the Summer. I’m going to be doing some front-end development work. I haven’t actually had much front-end experience so I’m really excited about this opportunity. In order to get some experience I created, with the help of assorted online tutorials, a simple MEAN stack To-Do list web application.


todo_one

The user can add new todo events to their list, edit the events, and delete the events. When I get some free time I plan to update the app with some new functionality.


todo_main


The project can be found here.

In order to get the app running you’ll need to have MongoDB and Node.js installed. Then:

  • Start MongoDB with mongod
  • Run npm install to set up app dependencies
  • Run webpack
  • Start the app with node src/app.js
  • Open the localhost in your favorite web browser (http://localhost:3000/)

I’m looking forward to embracing the power of being MEAN (stack).
