This project is intended to be used as a quickstarter for building a Mongo Express VueJS Node stack. This is similar to a MEAN stack, except Angular has been swapped out for a VueJS single page application rendered on the client side.

Technologies

This project uses:

Mongo for a NoSQL database.

Express For an HTTP Server

VueJS For Views, with the Vuetify Material Design Framework

Node For a JavaScript runtime

Installation

To install this project simply clone or download the repo:

git clone https://github.com/aarrttzz/mevn-stack-master.git <dir name>

cd <dir name>

npm install

cp .env.example .env then add in your local Mongo URI Changing the PORT variable in the .env will require you to change it in the views/config/http.js file.

Setup/Development

To develop using this project you can run

npm run dev:serve

and

npm run dev:client

in seperate terminal instances. This will allow hot reloading of both changes to the server and changes to the client.

The server will require you to be running a local instance of MongoDB.

npm run static will build the client-side JavaScript and start the hot reloading of the server environment. npm run dev:serve can also be used to just start the API if you are working on that prior to worrying about the client.

Scripts

A more detailed breakdown of the scripts are as follows:

Command npm run	Server	Client
start	Static	Static (requires npm run build)
dev:serve	Hot reload	Static
dev:client	None	Hot Reload
build	None	Bundled by Webpack
static	Hot reload	Bundled by Webpack

• Node >=7.0
