Getting data out of Mongodb with Angularjs

Question

I come from a LAMP stack background but lately I am been interested in Node.js/Angluarjs combo. Now I am wanting to get Mongodb into the mix but I am having the hardest time getting it set up. Every tutorial I find using a different kind of stack, some are using Express.js, others Mongoose, or something else. How do I go about using angularjs HTTP service to connect to Mongo? Do I need an intermediate library like Mongoose or can I do it directly with Angular. I had set this up a while back as an experiment. I am trying to do what I am doing in this page. In this, I am storing the data in a JSON file. I want to replace that JSON file with a connection to the Mongodb. I have MongoDb installed globally for Node and I have created a data collection through the console. You can see my experiment here - http://monkbunker.com/saas/#/ And the code for the http connection I have for this can be seen here starting on line 14 https://github.com/seanandersonmke/saas/blob/master/js/main.js

Is this similar to how I can work with MongoDB? How to set up an initial connection? I have sat down several times now for hours and ended up stumped every time. Please help. thanks.

have you tried meanjs.org ?

Have a look on the following links:

Querying MongoDB with JSON / HTTP / REST Interface

Does MongoDB have a native REST interface?

There is a full python proxy solution: http://python-eve.org/

Maybe this is helpful for you.:)

Every time I follow documentation, I get some kind of error. For example, the official express docs have this - var express = require('express'); var app = express(); app.get('/', function(req, res){ res.send('hello world'); }); app.listen(3000); but right away I get an error "required is undefined"...that is just one example.

Also, I have been using Yeoman, trying to get basically a boilerplate app installed with all the dependencies but I ALWAYS get some sort of errors. Does, anyone have a simple code example for a very basic Mongodb connection...THAT WORKS?

One more thing...if you look at my code sample I posted, if can't take a whole lot of code to change that connection to mongodb instead of a JSON file. What could I add to that page to make it work?

@SeanAnderson How do you run your express code? is express installed?

A lot of the errors I was having was solved by adding git to my Windows system path, which it apparently does not do automatically when installing in Node.js. Once I figure out how to get a connection to mongodb with angularjs, I will post my code.
