JavaScript Building a MEAN Application More TODO with the MEAN Stack Using Angular-wrapped JavaScript APIs

ES2015 version of mean-todo

Hi all,

Lately I've been really getting into ES2015, and love the new syntax it provides, so I took it upon myself to convert this app to ES2015.

Getting the Angular stuff to work was a bit of a headache, but I got there eventually!

I've added the code to GitHub, so feel free to poke around/break it!

Also, I noticed one thing that didn't work quite right in the original app: if you mark things off as complete and refresh the page, they will appear as if the change didn't take effect in the database.

What is actually happening is that there's still the 'ng-init' directive/attribute on the ng-repeat div in the public/templates/todo.html file, and that is changing the initial value of todo.completed to false. Removing that will make everything work as expected (and the value will be obtained from the database).

Good catch on the ng-init directive! I'll see if we can get a note in the teacher's notes on that.

I've been trying to do all tutorials/courses in ES2015, even when they don't call for it. It's a good exercise, though it can be frustrating at times.
