What Is This?

This is a sample (quick, down and dirty) of a NodeJS, Express, Jade and MongoDB project. Very simple. This application just reads This set of names and cooresponding email addresses from a db collection and displays them in a unordered list. There is a page for adding more names/emails to the collection.

This examples are meant to teach you about code-level development for NodeJS.

How To Use The Examples

There are three main ways to interact with the examples in this project:

1. NodeJS and MongoDB installed on the client computer.

2. This is the simple sequence:

• From the Node command line, issue the npm install command.

• After NodeJS, downloads and installs the node_modules, issue npm start. This will start the server.

• point your browser to localhost:3000/userlist
