Node Repo Template

This is a simple, yet complete, barebones Node Repo Template. It can be used to easily and quickly create a project repo for your next NodeJS based project.

---

Note: This repo does not currently contain routes or an MVC pattern as these can be subjective and vary from project to project.

If a general MVC configuration pattern can be agreed upon or suggested then it will be taken into consideration for merging with a pull request in the next release.
