Hands-On Full Stack Web Development with Aurelia

By: Diego Argüelles Rojas, Erikson Murrugarra

Overview of this book

Hands-On Full Stack Web Development with Aurelia begins with a review of basic JavaScript concepts and the structure of an Aurelia application generated with the Aurelia-CLI tool. You will learn how to create interesting and intuitive application using the Aurelia-Materialize plugin, which implements the material design approach. Once you fully configure a FIFA World Cup 2018 app, you'll start creating the initial components through TDD practices and then develop backend services to process and store all the user data. This book lets you explore the NoSQL model and implement it using one of the most popular NoSQL databases, MongoDB, with some exciting libraries to make the experience effortless. You'll also be able to add some advanced behavior to your components, from managing the lifecycle properly to using dynamic binding, field validations, and the custom service layer. You will integrate your application with Google OAuth Service and learn best practices to secure your applications. Furthermore, you'll write UI Testing scripts to create high-quality Aurelia Apps and explore the most used tools to run end-to-end tests. In the concluding chapters, you'll be able to deploy your application to the Cloud and Docker containers. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to create rich applications using best practices and modern approaches.

Integrating our API with MongoDB


Here we are! It's time to implement our Teams Rest controller. To do this, we will start decoupling the Team model that has all the logic to communicate with the MongoDB database. Once the Team model is refactored, we will start implementing the code in the Team Rest Controller to implement the CRUD operations to do the following:

  • List all the teams
  • Create new teams
  • Update the existing teams
  • Delete teams

Let's get our hands dirty!

Decoupling the Team Model

We have created a models folder in the root project directory. In this folder, we will create all the models for our application. Start creating the team.js file in the src/models folders:

$ touch src/models/team.js

Remember that we use the touch command to create a new file. Then, open this file, and from the src/config/mongoose-connection.js file, cut the following lines and copy them into the src/models/team.js file, as follows:

const mongoose = require('mongoose')

const TeamSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
