I need a strongloop example wrote in javascript without angular

Question

I want to have a strongloop example only using javascript without angular. There's no complete working example without angular for now. I want to simply include the browser.bundle.js in my index.html, then sync data from/to server side. In fact, I'm trying to replace pouchdb in my program since the couchdb seems not success in open source community.

I can't follow up this document correctly: Running Loopback in the browser

1. create browser-app.js with the content from Running Loopback in the browser
2. copy past the content to browser-app.js
3. npm install loopback loopback-boot
4. browserify browser-app.js -o app.bundle.js Then I got error: Error: Cannot find module 'loopback-boot#instructions' from '/Users/simba/Projects/traveller-app/client/node_modules/loopback-boot'

There are few steps for this but its pretty simple.

1. Bootstrap your application via slc loopback.
2. Delete server/boot/root.js.

3. Uncomment two lines in server/server.js, it should look like:

   ...
   // -- Mount static files here--
   // All static middleware should be registered at the end, as all requests
   // passing the static middleware are hitting the file system
   // Example:
   var path = require('path'); //this line is now uncommented
   app.use(loopback.static(path.resolve(__dirname, '../client'))); //this line is now uncommented
   ...
   

4. Create index.html in the client dir (ie. client/index.html) with your contents.

That should get you a basic set up with just a basic front-end working. Let me know if you have any more issues.
