AngularJS salsa

Mixes a tasteful AngularJS salsa for web/mobile apps and browser extensions using JS/Coffee, Jade/HTML5, Node.js, Express and MongoDB.

Features (coming soon)

Salsa type:

• Single-page web/mobile applications based on AngularJS, Grunt and Bower,
• RESTful web/mobile applications with backend based on MEAN stack:
  • client: AngularJS, RestAngular, UI-Bootstrap/Twitter Bootstrap,
  • server: Node.js, Express, Passport, MonGoose, mongoDB,
• Google Chrome AngularJS extensions.

Available spices:

• CoffeeScript/CS2/ECMAScript 3/ES5-shim/ES5/ES6/Traceur,
• Jade/HTML, LESS, UI-Bootstrap/Twitter Bootstrap, UI-Router,
• Karma, Jasmine/Mocha+Chai+as-promised+Sinon, Istanbul,
• Browserify, ngmin.

Inspired by AngularJS generator, ngBoilerplate, and MEAN stack generator. Served by Yeoman.
