Creating our e-commerce app

Now that we have everything set up on the AWS side, let's start by building our AngularJS app.

As always, we will start by downloading the forked AngularJS Seed project from GitHub at https://github.com/areai51/angular-seed and getting it set up.

Before we run the npm install command, let's add a few more dependencies to our bower.json file to install angular-animate and angular-ui-router, as we are going to use these in our project.

Please modify your bower.json file as highlighted:

{
  "name": "angular-seed",
  "description": "A starter project for AngularJS",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "homepage": "https://github.com/angular/angular-seed",
  "license": "MIT",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "1.2.x",
    "angular-ui-router": "0.2.10",
    "angular-animate": "1.2.x",
    "angular-facebook": "",
    "angular-loader": "1.2.x",
    "angular-mocks": "~1.2.x",
    "html5-boilerplate": "~4.3.0"
  }
}
