Boilerplate for AngularJS + Sails.js

Why?

Modern web applications has separated front- and backend sides to use. This boilerplate present one way to make your application which have fully separated back- and frontend sides.

Main goals of this boilerplate

• Separate back and front development apps
• Authenticate with backend (possible multiple ways: local, github, twitter, etc.)
• WebSockets
• Minimal - I hate bloated boilerplates

Setup

npm install bower -g
npm install sails -g

1. Frontend landing page: /frontend/src/app/index.html
2. Backend URL: io.sails.url (customize in frontend/config/config.json)
3. Copy /backend/config/local_example.js to /backend/config/local_example.js and customize
4. Install Dependencies: npm install (runs npm/bower install from frontend and backend folders)

Running

You have to start both backend and frontend servers to run this project. These can be started

Backend

cd backend
sails lift

Frontend

In Development:

cd frontend
gulp serve

In Production:

cd frontend
gulp dist
gulp production
