MEAN Stack – MongoDB Queries & AngularJS Scope – Day 15

The MEAN Challenge Continues!

This video is part of the 30 Day MEAN Stack Honolulu Challenge

In this video we’ll take a detailed look the query functionality used to return a list of customers from MongoDB to the Angular scope. We’ll also look at how to display the returned data on the List Customers Page.

We look at:
– The List Customers Page that was created from the Yeoman Generator
– The use of the data-ng-init directive
– The workings behind the find() function
– The working behind the Customers.query and how it maps up to search the MongoDB
– Following through the query function from the Angular controller and through to the router and the customer.server.controller
– The mongoose code that is used to query MongoDB to return a list of customers
– Finding query documentation on the MongoDB website
– Using the AngularJS Batarang Plugin to look at the Customer data on the List Customers Page
– The syntax used to display data from the Angular Customers scope on the List Customers Page
