Overview:

The nuxt-mongoose-pwa is a starter PWA (Progressive Web App) that is integrated with mongoose-auto-api. It allows users to easily create a fully functioning CRUD web app and backend Rest API by simply defining their Mongoose models. This makes it easy for developers to quickly set up a web app with a backend API for managing data.

Features:

• Automatically create a fully functioning CRUD web app and backend Rest API
• Define Mongoose models to specify the data structure and relationships
• Use MongoDB’s $lookup functionality to join models together
• Supports Strings, Numbers, Arrays, Dates, and Booleans for a relational database approach
• Standalone Rest API module for populating and accessing data
• Consumer module for Node.js for easy interfacing with the data
• Test custom components alongside the included CRUD app
• Serve the Web App/Rest API in dev mode or production mode

Installation:

To install the nuxt-mongoose-pwa, follow these steps:

1. Install Nuxt.js by running the following command:

npm install nuxt

2. Install mongoose-auto-api by running the following command:

npm install mongoose-auto-api

3. Create a /models directory in the root of your project and add your Mongoose models inside it.

4. Use the Rest API module to populate and access your data or use the consumer module for Node.js.

5. Test your custom components alongside the included CRUD app in dev mode. Serve in production mode when ready.

6. Edit the appConfig.json file to specify your app’s specifications.

7. Make sure to create a secret key with the CLI or via the API before adding a user for security purposes.

8. Sign up, view/edit your collections, create an item, edit an item, view item detail, and delete an item from the web app.

9. Use the array options to create, push, or set array items. The web app and API automatically parse comma-separated strings into an array.

10. Use the filter option to query items with various operators. Refer to the Rest API documentation for a list of operators.

Summary:

The nuxt-mongoose-pwa is a powerful tool for quickly creating CRUD web apps and backend Rest APIs. It simplifies the process by automatically generating the necessary code based on your specified Mongoose models. With features like support for various data types, easy data population and access, and flexible array and filter options, developers can easily create robust web apps with dynamic data management capabilities.
