Simple boilerplate for MEVN applications

1. Ensure you already have node & npm installed.
2. If you're on a Mac - Install Mongodb via homebrew, If PC - You're on your own. I encourage you to use the MongoDB GUI

• Update homebrew brew update
• Install mongodb brew install mongodb
• Add the directory for the database to live in sudo mkdir -p /data/db
• Make the directory owned by your user & read/write cd /data/db && chown {username} ./ && chmod 755 ./
• Run the server mongod

3. Run npm install to install all the dependencies.
4. Install global dependencies npm i -g vue-cli vue-devtools mongodb babel nodemon concurrently
5. Start Mongo in a new terminal window mongod
6. Run the task to rule them all npm run start

Adding a global Sass file

There's already an alias in the vue.config.js file that allows you to point to files in the /scss/ directory using $styles. I've also included a Sass file for you to add stuff to. It will be bundled during the webpack build and be included in your site-wide app.css file. I've also included Bootstrap's 'bootstrap-reboot.scss' file from the node_module using the node module alias ~.

Production Build

1. Run the production build task npm run build
