As someone who is new to MEAN stack, I am currently working on creating a simple one-page application. My goal is to connect to MongoDB and retrieve values from a specific collection using a controller.
During my search for an answer, I stumbled upon this helpful resource: Using AngularJs and MongoDB/Mongoose. However, this raised a question in my mind. If it's not possible to use the code provided between Angular and Mongo, then what purpose does it serve? Are there any intermediate steps that need to be taken?
In my particular scenario, here's how I'm trying to utilize the code:Geek.html
<div class="jumbotron text-center">
<h1>Geek City</h1>
<p>{{tagline}}</p>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="value in dataValues">
{{value.name}}
</li>
</ul>
</div>
GeekController
angular.module('GeekCtrl', []).controller('GeekController', function($scope) {
$scope.tagline = 'The square root of life is pi!';
$scope.dataValues = function(){
var mongo = require('../config/db.js');
var collectionValues = mongo.myCollection.find();
return collectionValues;
};
});
