A sample hyperdev container

This is just a little introduction into hyperdev - a free, online container for creating and developing on a Node.js server in the browser.

Check it out, hyperdev is a very useful tool for rapid prototyping, since everything just works (tm) and it's super easy to get a small team to work together on a project.

This particular project was something I set up to play about with, and to also confirm that this was, in fact, something that could be used for something useful

How useful?

I wanted to solve a realistic problem, so I hooked this up to an online mongo database, and rendered it using some simple jquery in a pivot table.

Why pivots? We all go a little mad sometimes, and I do love pivots

• You can hook this up to any mongo database you want, but I've used mlab.com - which is a simple enough online mongo service that will give you a free, small, one-database instance for prototyping.
• I've used Nicolas Kruchten's javascript pivot table to render the data

Where is this running?

• You can find the running instance of this here: (https://platinum-fire.hyperdev.space/)
• You can find the hyperdev development environment here: (https://hyperdev.com/#!/project/platinum-fire)

How to configure this?

If you're running this in node, you'll just need a .env file with these settings in here:

MONG_USER=
MONG_PASS=
MONG_HOST=
MONG_PORT=
MONG_DB=
