What type of database to use with AngularJS and JSON [closed]

Question

Haven't been able to find any resources which explore this type of issue with Angular, so feel free to link me in the right direction if you know of anything.

I'm building an online store for mobile (it's only mobile at this stage) with Angular.

At the core of the system are products (each with a name, designer, description, colour, price, category, store location and a few others).

I'm currently storing this all in JSON files and loading that into Angular, but the more products I add the more unmanageable this is becoming.

What I'd like to do:

I'd like a database that I can send some queries to (example: "mens, shirt,

The only backend system I've had any exposure to is MySQL (and not much at that). I know enough PHP to get myself around, I'd say beginner-intermediate (I'm a front-end dev by trade).

Is this sort've thing best suited to any particular type of database? And is there any particular "playing nice" that any do with AngularJS?

Answer 1

Have you had a look at CouchDB?

Data stored in CouchDB is stored natively as JSON, so it flows nicely through to web apps since you get to communicate with the database as JSON.

CornerCouch is an AngularJS module written specifically for this purpose, although I have not played with it myself.
