Implementing the JSDO protocol in a Node.js server

Project Description

This project centers around a node server that takes data stored in a MongoDB and exposes it under the jsdo protocol. The serviceURI is http://nodejsdo-21944.onmodulus.net and the catalogURI is http://nodejsdo-21944.onmodulus.net/catalogURI. Each database requires a catalog that describes the properties of each data point and the functions available for manipulating the data. This project also contains a node file that tests the server to make sure it works properly. This can be viewed at http://angulardemo-21580.onmodulus.net/test. This data is also formatted using AngularJS at http://jsdo-node-angular-22603.onmodulus.net/.

Running the app

1. (Optional) Make a MongoDB database on Modulus and fill in config.json. You can skip steps 1 & 2 if you already have your own database
   
2. (Optional) Run fillDB.js to fill your MongoDB with test data
   
3. Run npm install
   
4. Run the application by invoking node app.js
   To test the app
5. Fill in your service and catalog uri's in jsdoTester/app.js
6. Run npm install in jsdoTester/
   
7. Run jsdoTester/app.js using node
   
8. Navigate to localhost:3000/test to see if your app is working.
   To view AngularJS use of app
9. Navigate to localhost:3000. It should show a filled in table with the same data as in step 8.
