###Project features:####

• Passportjs integration with user management on both front and back end.
• All-in-one package with the frontend, backend and database all under one directory
• Powerful gruntfile with a lot of built-in function.
• Karma testing out of the box.

###Grunt features:####

####Development: ####

• Linting of all javascript files on changes.
• Unit testing runs on changes.
• Front-end auto refresh on changes to the front-end code.
• Server restart on changes to the server code.
• Displaying all HTTP requests received by the server.
• Displaying all back-end errors in one place.

####Production: ####

• Dynamic build system that reads the index.html file directly. No need to change anything on the grunt side to add/remove/change files for the build process
• All project javascript files get combined and minified into one minified javascript file. All angular partials get compiled into javascript and added to the main javascript file.
• All vendor javascript files get combined into one minified javascript file.
• All css files get combined and minified into one minified css file.

####Grunt dynamic build: ####

Grunt builds the webapp by reading src/index.html and according to the following rules:

<!-- build:css styles/style.css --> Place all css files here. <!-- endbuild -->

<!-- build:jsv scripts/vendor.min.js --> Place all vendor js files here. <!-- endbuild -->

<!-- build:js scripts/dist.min.js --> Place angular js files here. <!-- endbuild -->

<!-- build:clear --> Place these tags around anything you want to get rid of from index.html in the production version <!-- endbuild -->

• Node.js is installed.
  To test, run node -v

• npm is installed
  To test, run npm -v

• MongoDB is installed
  To test, run mongod --version

• MongoDB is not running as a service (it does by default)
  To stop it, run sudo service mongod stop

• grunt and karma are installed globally. To test, make sure grunt and karma are recognized commands. If they are not, install by running npm install -g grunt-cli and npm install -g karma-cli.

• in \ run npm install
  If you get errors, try sudo npm install

• in \src run bower install

run grunt
open http://localhost:9500

run grunt build.
The files will 'compile' and the database and server will start. By default it will be available at http://localhost:8081.

• grunt server will start the public server
• grunt only-build will 'compile' the files for the public server without starting the database or the server
• grunt test to run karma tests without the rest of the default dev tasks (starting server, database, etc.)
