This application demonstrates:

• A complete application with read-only and editable data
• Using AngularJS with $http in a factory to access a backend Web API service
• Using BreezeJS in a factory to access a backend Web API Service
• Techniques for showing multiple views of data (card view and list view)
• A custom filter for filtering customer data
• A custom routing mechanism that allows a controller & template to be downloaded dynamically "on the fly" and provides a standard convention for controller and view names
• A custom directive to ensure unique values in a form for email
• A custom directive that intercepts $http and jQuery XHR requests (in case either are used) and displays a loading dialog

The factories can be switched by changing the app/services/config useBreeze setting to true.

The AngularJS portion of the app is structured using the following folders:

The following is required to support the backend services:

• Visual Studio 2012 Web Express (free version) or higher - http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-products#product-express-summary

• ASP.NET MVC and Web API are used for the back-end services along with Entity Framework for database access (included if you have VS 2012 express installed)

To get started, double-click the CustomerManager.sln file located at the root of the CustomerManager repository.

I'm interested in porting the backend to NodeJS/MongoDB as well so if anyone has any interest there let me know!
