Express boilerplate

An Express application ready to use, and extend, in seconds!

This is a basic setup and it's intended for making the initial application architecture process much faster and easier.

Setup

1. Clone this repository,
2. install what's needed: npm i,
3. copy .env.sample to .env (change the values, if needed),
4. compile your static assets (from /source): grunt mini or just grunt,
5. run the application: grunt nodemon * or npm start

* In order to run Grunt tasks, make sure you have it installed globally, if not then run: npm i -g grunt-cli

Done

Visit http://localhost:9000 (Unless you changed the port in the .env file)

Practice

Take a look at /app/core/controllers/cities.js and /app/core/controllers/users.js, they both implement some basic CRUD logic. Create a forms in the respective views (/app/core/views/) that allow you to create some users and cities. You can also implement deletion. Submit a pull request with your ideas and I will provide detailed feedback on your work and progress.

Happy learning.
