great tutorial

when adding db connection in the index.js ... i usually opt for the below:
mongoose.connect(config.uri, function(err, response){
if(err)console.log("There was an error in trying to connect to mongodb");
console.log("Connection to mongodb was successful");

});

Gud work David,
From the intro, will you be able create post which contains images or videos!?

Great tutorial! As Nikola Simović said, it would be a best practice to add a .gitignore file at the root of the application, with the following content:

node_modules/

Into .gitignore you can also add (mention) other files you don't want to push to github, like the editor settings file or any other file which may be generated on your project.

When I load my app, my mongodb config "database.js" does not seem to want to set the uri correctly, because when I log out my DB connection it says:
"Connected to MongoDB database -> - which means my db property in the the uri is undefined..

// database.js
const crypto =

module.exports = {
uri: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/' + this.db,
secrect: crypto,
db: 'BlogSite'
};

// app.js (equiv to index.js here)
const config = require('./config/database');



/**
* Mongoose connection to db + error handling
*/
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
mongoose.connect(config.uri, {
useMongoClient: true,
});

mongoose.connection.on('connected', function () {
console.log('Connected to MongoDB database -> ' + config.uri);
});

mongoose.connection.on('error', function (err) {
console.log('Mongoose connection error >' + err);
});

mongoose.connection.on('disconnected', function () {
console.log('Mongoose connection disconnected....');
});

Can anyone see why this is?

For a more social media focused site would you recommend the mean stack approach or something like meteor or laravel?

Hello David,
I downloaded Angular using the command line arguments like you did, however, it says that I have version 4 and not 2. I am afraid that I might run into errors when coding along. Any advice on how to switch to 2. I am trying Google, but I cannot find a clear answer. Thank you!

This was really helpful! Appreciate it!
Is it possible to remove the e2e related files like e2e folder, protractor, karma, etc?

[abdullahnaseer]

Sir, what angular version were you using when you created this?

[TharinduLakshithasusl]

great tutorial! I've tried lot of MEAN tutorials but this is far better and simple to understand! Anyway, I'm just curious that is it not necessary to use Controllers ? rather than writing the login in the route itself ?

How u can use ES6 without babel? I can't understand.
