express-generator just wasn't cutting it.

Express Boilerplate

This is literally just my boilerplate Express project. I was running express-generator for every project and finding myself using the same settings and doing some additional set up on every project as well. To save myself some pain, I made this.

The base express-generator command was express --hbs --css sass --git. Here's what that translates out to, plus what I added:

• Handlebars templating (generator)
• Sass compiling (generator)
• Stock gitignore (generator)
• Added express-handlebars for better templating
• Added Eric Elliot's express-error-handler
• Added Mongoose for MongoDB support and a starter model
• Added debug start to npm scripts (npm run debug)
• Customized routes setup

Usage

If you just fell in love, you can use this for any project you could ever dream of. Just fork the repo, pull down a copy, and run npm install to get all the dependencies.

Contributing

Since this is my personal boilerplate, I'm not exactly looking for contributors. However, if you actually used this and found a bug or something that could be improved, feel free to raise an issue!
