Blog post 1: Breaking down app.js file - nodejs, express, mongoose

Blog post 2: Coming soon!

This is a boilerplate node.js application illustrating various features used in everyday web development, with a fine touch of best practices. The demo app is a blog application where users (signing up using facebook, twitter, github and simple registrations) can create an article, delete an article and add comment on the article.

Note: You need to have node.js and mongodb installed and running

Install

  $ git clone git://github.com/madhums/nodejs-express-mongoose-demo.git
  $ npm install
  $ cp config/config.example.js config/config.js
  $ npm start

NOTE: Do not forget to update your facebook twitter and github APP_ID and APP_SECRET in config/config.js

Then visit http://localhost:3000/

Directory structure

-app/
  |__controllers/
  |__models/
  |__views/
-config/
  |__routes.js
  |__config.js
  |__passport.js (auth config)

If you are looking for a specific feature, please use the issue tracker. I will try to come up with a demo as earliest as I can. Please feel free to fork and send updates :)
