Building the server-side app

We'll start by building the server-side section of the app. We'll build a series of routes that will provide Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) operations on our MongoDB database. We will expose these as REST APIs.

Let's write our models and custom routes into a separate route file to keep things clean.

Creating the Mongoose schemas

We first start by loading the mongoose library and establishing a connection to the angcms database. We add the following highlighted code in the angcms/app.js file:

var app = express();    
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/angcms');
var db = mongoose.connecetion;

For this application, we are going to need two schemas: the Pages schema and the Admin Users schema. Let's create these now.

We'll create a new folder named models, and create our page.js file with the following code in it:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
    var Page = new Schema({
