+-- production.js //Production config
+-- database.js //Database connections
+-- express.js //Express config and adons
+-- init.js //To be called when server was started
+-- routes
+-- myRoutes.js //Your routes

##Start an express server
var server = new ExpressServer({
name: 'My Express Server',
port: 3000
});
###Options: name Set server name baseDir Set base dir.

##Setting up env configurations
module.exports = function(app) {
'use strict';
app.use(function(req, res, next){
//Do something
next();
});
};
##Connecting to a database
module.exports = function(app) {
'use strict';
//Make db connection, return a promise to make an async call
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
db.connect((err) => {
if (err) {
reject(err);
return;
}
resolve();
});
});
};
##Using express middlewares
module.exports = function(app) {
'use strict';
app.use(anyMiddleware);
};
##Init script
module.exports = function(app) {
'use strict';
//Doing something during server start progress
};
##Adding routes
Place routes under yourproject/routes/ All files in this folder will be called during the start progress
module.exports = function(app) {
'use strict';
app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.send('Hello World!');
next();
});
};
