"MAN stack" how to access a local mongoDB database in angular app.,(no server,complete client side app.)

Question

I have set up a mongoDB databse with lot of data stored among a lot of collections, reside, in a 'data' folder inside my node app folder it self. I needed to create a front end to the database,with CRUD features using angular.I used node,and mongoose to set up database on my disk.I have no intention to upload the DB to a cloud at this point, so i guess, i don't need express,and $http service of angular. My question is this How can i able to get access the mongoose query's from within different angular controllers. ? Is there any services that i can use out of the box, as a dependency ,for the task.

alonge: In my mongoose model folder(in my case angular model itself), i've got a db.js file.This file contain all the mongoose queries that i need to do with my front end(angular view:html file,with ton of partials). You can see, i need to somehow require and use this db.js file inside my angular controller.i don't know how to write the service that would do it though.I wonder "angoose" https://www.npmjs.com/package/angoose Does it do the same thing..

ps 1: I have a plan to make this app a complete desktop app,using nw.js.

ps 2: i am relatively new to angular.js,.

I'm unsure thats possible with just angular, but if you use nw.js then you will have node and it's modules for the business layer — maurycy

Okay..,how can i import db.js file into angular (which has got all my necessary mongoose query operations). Making a service, which uses this db.js file, is what i'm thinking. So actually how to do this..? — ISONecroMAn

From the NW.js docs Example 3 notes that you can use node function require for loading modules like so: var mongoose = require('mongoose');.

The caveat being that you may need to recompile the mongoose module with nw-gyp to make it work with NW.js.

How is angular going to communicate with node without making http requests or similar..?

Check out NW.js it's a platform which enables calls directly to Node apis from html.

Well looks like it's using web socket connection... it's no magic ;)
