Simple Angular Template

A quick way to have a basis working angular front-end app, a basic express backend-app, together with gulp synchronization , sass, and gulp build.

Prerequisites

Git clone this repo onto your local machine.
In the shell go to the root folder where you find package.json ; now run npm install ; the program will build you a node modules folder with basic modules to build a front-end and an express back-end.
Go to the app folder and run bower install ; this will install angular, jquery and ui-router in the bower-components folder.
When you want to spawn a back-end server you can run node server/server.js .This will give you a backend that you can visit at http://localhost:3000, as long as you keep the node-server running.
From the root folder now run gulp watch to start developing your app, the app will popup in your browser.
Any change you make to the html will trigger a browser reload after you save it. Similarly, any change you make to your scss will immediately be injected into the browser.
when you want to deploy your app to the cloud you can run gulp build which creates a compressed version of your app in the webapp folder; make sure to adapt the server address in services.js.
