![]() This command just created a Git remote named heroku, where we’ll push our code. Then set up the app with Heroku (Note: you must be logged in to your Heroku account from the command line): $ /todo-ionic2-heroku > heroku create Let’s initialize a Git repository for our app: $ /todo-ionic2-heroku > git init ![]() Heroku toolbelt–Heroku’s CLI tool for creating and managing Heroku apps If you’re awesome and want to keep going, make sure you have the following installed: If this is your first time using Heroku with a Node.js app, check out the Getting Started with Node.js on Heroku tutorial in Heroku’s Dev Center. The serve command runs a variety of gulp tasks to build your app, then opens it in your browser (I’m using the device mode built into Chrome’s DevTools to see how the app looks on mobile):įlipping amazing, right? Okay, maybe not yet, but it’s a good start. cd into your newly created directory and serve it up! $ > cd todo-ionic2-heroku The folder structure should look roughly like this: This will create a new project directory in place, with the same name as your project. I’ve called mine todo-ionic2-heroku: $ > ionic start todo-ionic2-heroku blank -v2 ![]() Feel free to name your app whatever you want. To start, create a blank Ionic 2 app using the Ionic CLI’s start command. We’ll be writing the app’s frontend in TypeScript (TS), so you should probably download a TS compiler for your editor–it’ll make your life much easier. The code for the app is available on GitHub, and, for the impatient, able to be deployed live to your Heroku account by using the button below: When we’re all done, we’ll use Git to push the app to Heroku, where it will be hosted. We’ll also build a Node.js backend, using Express for our API and MongoDB for data storage. We’ll be creating is a simple Ionic 2 app that uses Typescript and a RESTful api. On to our app! Project Setup, Git, Heroku and the Node.js Backend This continuity between layers can reduce errors and make coordinating development across the stack much easier. Not only can we write all of our code in a single language (JS), since every level of the stack speaks the same language we also get to use a single data format to exchange data (JSON), as well as common idioms and object types. This is pretty cool for a lot of reasons, though one of the largest is that it removes a lot of complexity from an already complex system. MEAN has been a popular default dev stack for web apps in particular for quite some time now, primarily because it gives developers the ability to work with JavaScript and JSON across their entire application stack, from the server all the way to the UI. ![]() Node.js: Server-side execution environment.Express: HTTP request router/API framework.Here’s a quick breakdown of the part each of these plays: MEAN stands for MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js, which are the four technologies that make up the stack. This is the first post in a three-part series! Here’s part 2 and part 3 for reference.īefore we really dig in, a little bit about the MEAN stack:įor those who aren’t familiar, the MEAN stack is similar in concept to the popular LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack, and is one of the most popular application development stacks for JavaScript developers. In this post, we’re giving you more pancakes! So grab the syrup, and let’s make a full-stack of MEAN. Given the choice between a short or tall stack of pancakes, which would you get? The correct answer is always more pancakes.
