##Backend for AngularJSTodoApp & IonicTodoApp

This reposistory contains the source code that makes up the Backend for AngularJSTodoApp and IonicTodoApp.

Installation instructions on this backend are found below and also on the on the projects' repo linked above.

##Build, Testing, & Development

1. Need to have Nodejs and NPM, installed on your system globally. If running a Debian/Ubuntu system and you do not have the packages installed globally, run these commands below:

    sudo apt update  
    sudo apt install nodejs  
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node  
    sudo apt install npm
    sudo npm install -g npm
    sudo npm install forever -g
   

2. Clone this repo.

3. In the root of the project folder, run npm install.

4. Next, install mongodb on your system globally and have it running. If on a Ubuntu/Debian system, you would run sudo apt install mongodb.

5. Use forever to start the server, run forever start bin/www.

6. If you need to kill forever for any reasons, run forever list. You will then see a list of all forever processes. Kill the forever process you want by identifying the pid and killing it by running forever stop pidNUM where pidNUM is the pid number is the process you would like to kill.

7. By default, the server will be listening on port 3000.

8. This backend allows the user to register, login, logout, create tasks, retrieve tasks, edit tasks, and delete tasks.
