nodejs-angular retrieving data from mongodb

Question

I have been trying to retrieve data from mongodb (i'm using also mongoose) and send it to angular to fill the ng-repeat list with data. I am able to print data on blank page from mongo OR display data in list if i declare exemplary static array with data in a list on webpage but i dont know how to connect it to work with data from mongo. I am new to MEAN stack so please spare me.

First Create RestFul API using Node js http://adrianmejia.com/blog/2014/10/01/creating-a-restful-api-tutorial-with-nodejs-and-mongodb/

Then consume the same using following example.

MessageServiceData.getMessageService=function(){
        var def = $q.defer();
                $http.post("www.url.com", data)
                    .success(function(messages){
                         def.resolve(messages);
                     })
                    .error(function(messagesFail){
                        console.log('error:'+JSON.stringify(messagesFail));
                        def.reject([{"Error":JSON.stringify(messagesFail)}]);
                    });

        return def.promise;
    }
