How does Full-Stack Development integrate different technologies
like Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and AngularJS?
Full-stack development, particularly with the MEAN (MongoDB,
Express.js, AngularJS, Node.js) stack, integrates these technologies to
create a complete web application. Each component plays a specific
role and interacts with the others to handle data flow and user
interaction.
AngularJS (Frontend/Client-side):
AngularJS handles the presentation layer, creating dynamic and
interactive user interfaces in the web browser. It manages the user
experience, renders data received from the backend, and sends user
input to the server.
Node.js and Express.js (Backend/Server-side):
Node.js provides the runtime environment for executing JavaScript on
the server. Express.js, a web application framework for Node.js,
simplifies building server-side applications and APIs. The Express.js
server receives requests from the AngularJS frontend, processes them,
and interacts with the database. It also handles routing, middleware,
and API endpoints.
MongoDB (Database):
MongoDB serves as the database layer, storing application data in a
flexible, NoSQL (document-oriented) format. It allows for efficient
storage and retrieval of data, which is accessed and manipulated by
the Node.js/Express.js backend.
