Deployed on Heroku @ NewsFirst.
Run npm install to download all the required Node Modules. You can see whatIsDone.txt to know what technologies/framework are used in this application.
Once all the dependencies are installed. You can now go and start the application using the command npm start, which will start the application on port 3000 by default.
mongodb server is hosted on mLab
This web application is a demostration of MEAN Stack application which uses Angular 2 CLI to load, manage and build angular 2 code with backend Node.js code.
This application will allow user to create an Account (Password is hashed by using bcryptjs and stored in database). Lets the user to login and go to user-specific pages are available only to the logged in person (Profile, Dashboard pages).

By default Angular CLI is hosted on 4200 port. The request for register/login/user data is sent as a post or get request to the port 3000 (in this case) where backend code is running.
Once the ng build is executed to build the angular 2 project. All the build artifacts will be stored in specified directory, public/. Once this is done, we will have a complete applicaiton running on port 3000 to do all the operations.
