Upload Files To Node.js Using Angular

February 4, 2016

When I build web applications, my least favorite part is always in the realm of file uploads. They are often complicated to do and take a lot of time. Pretty much every web application lately, regardless of what it is, requires file uploads, even if it is just to upload a profile picture.

Since I’m all about Angular lately, I figured it would be great to show how to upload images (or any file) to a back-end. In this particular example I’m using Node.js.

Full stack development is all the rage right now. Knowing how all the bits and pieces of an application works is a necessity in modern development. Previously I demonstrated how easy it was to create a full stack application using the Couchbase, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js (CEAN) stack, but this time we’re going to be swapping out Node.js for Java.

We’re going to look at creating a full stack application where Java and Couchbase Server acts as our back-end and AngularJS, HTML, and CSS acts as our front-end.

I’ve been a JavaScript developer for a while now, but with the release of Angular, I’ve been inspired to pick up TypeScript. However, what happens when I want to use one of my hundreds of available external JavaScript libraries in my project?

I’m going to share how to use your favorite JavaScript libraries in a TypeScript Angular application.

I’ve always wondered what it took to develop a real-time chat application. Being able to broadcast messages instantly to other people using the same application is a pretty cool concept. Since I’ve been playing around a lot with the Couchbase, Express, Angular, and Node.js (CEAN) stack, I figured it would be pretty awesome to try to make a chat application using those technologies. To make life easy, I found a pretty sweet library called Socket.io, which will do a lot of the tough broadcasting work.

We’re going to see how to create a very simple chat application, that with a little imagination, can become something incredible.

I was at an event not too long ago where someone recommended I take a look at PassportJS for my Node.js applications. In case you’re unfamiliar with PassportJS, it is an authentication middleware that makes it easy to work with logins, whether they are with basic login, or with social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter.

Being that I’m into different authentication techniques, as seen in my other oauth articles, I figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do a walkthrough on PassportJS with Express Framework for Node.js.

With Angular development happening in full force, I figured it was time to take a break from Angular 1 and start thinking about what it takes to make the switch over to Angular. Like with most JavaScript powered applications you will have a single page composed of partial routes and views. I previously wrote about how to navigate with the AngularJS UI-Router, but in Angular things are pretty different.

Here we’re going to take a look at using routes and views to navigate within our Angular TypeScript application.

Previously I wrote about how to create an AngularJS application with PouchDB and Couchbase. The way I demonstrated is of course one way to accomplish the job of using Couchbase in a web application. This time around we’re going to take a look at creating a full stack application using the Couchbase, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js (CEAN) stack.

You might be familiar with the MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js (MEAN) stack, but I’m going to show you that this is just as possible with Couchbase and even easier to do.

We’re going to see how to install and configure all four of the CEAN stack services as well as make a very simple application out of them.
