The document discusses using NodeJS to control hardware and connect it to the cloud. It describes a system that uses NodeJS to control a robot, parse email updates, and provide a web-based control panel using AngularJS. Authentication for the API is done through JSON web tokens. The system represents a single page application with an API backend, and the document recommends using the Angular-Fullstack generator for its authentication and project structure benefits.

clients
–
no
standard
NodeJS
approach
yet
– Lots
of
trials,
not
many
are
maintained
• Just
use
Angular-­‐Fullstack
– hPps://github.com/DaZMonk/generator-­‐angular-­‐
fullstack
– Works
out
of
the
box
with
e.g.
twiPer
and
is

for
years
– You
get
lots
