Define a config to provide things such as the database connection string (see index.js). Config.json provides settings such as database login credentials (not safe for production obviously).

Setup models by defining a schema for what data you want collected. Use mongoose Schema object constructor.

Create the model using mongoose.model and passing a model name and a Schema

Export the model using module.exports

1. setupController is used for providing seed data
2. apiController is used for setting up CRUD api

Instead of creating a front-end to test the API, Postman (https://www.getpostman.com/) is a Google Chrome app that allows you to perform http request. This is useful for testing out you api.

1. Assign Angular module and controller
2. Initialize the page by getting all todos
3. Loop over the todos
4. Have a form to create todos
5. Delete todos when they are checked

1. Add handling so the forms don't except blank or empty.
2. Study mongoose query syntax more to make sure i understand
