newb here.
I am trying to log in to a Salesforce account using AngularJS ForceNG and pull the data out of an object so I can post it on an Ionic page. I want to hard code the login and password, access the Salesforce REST API, query it, and run that information on a page. The trouble that I am having is with gaining access to the Salesforce account.
I know that I need to use OAuth in order to do this. I have not found any examples on the internet regarding how to access Salesforce directly using OAuth with hardcoding the login and password. All examples I find are very long pieces of code with many different update/create/etc. options.
I just want to log in, query the data, and post it onto a web page. It seems like it should be a simple thing to do but I am having immense trouble with it.
Does anybody have any tips on how to hard code the login and pull the data in OAuth?

You can follow the Username-Password flow. That way you don't have to redirect a user to a login page.
