Nothing to see here, just a little Express app with a dummy-simple CRUD API using Mongoskin. CORS traffic from any source is allowed to make it easy to POST/GET/PUT/DELETE JSON payloads from other apps running locally. You've been warned!

Just meant for lightweight local dev and messing around. Obviously not fit for prod :D

Run npm install and bower update to get your dependencies ready. ./node_modules is in the .gitignore, Yeoman-style :)

Run grunt to fire it up, and make sure you have Mongo installed (brew install mongo) and that you've started the Mongo dæmon with mongod. Enjoy!

#####:bangbang: This is JUST FOR FUN & LEARNING. This is NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE. This is NOT SECURE. :bangbang:

Identical resources are available at /collections AND /secure/collections. POST/PUT/DELETE actions for /secure resources require an api key, which can be retrieved with a post call to /secure/collections/users. The post body should contain a JSON object with "username" and "email" values and will return a JSON object with an "apiKey" value. This can be passed as query string "api_key" for access to restricted /secure resources.

To deploy to Heroku, use the button below. You will need to have a credit card on your account in order to set up MongoLab, but it is free and will not be charged.
