It is a boilerplate for node + expressjs + cluster2 + dustjs + mocha.
Assume you have cloned the repository locally and get into the repo folder.
You can run the server in the boilerplate
make clean install server (the first time)
or
make server
Access http://localhost:8080/
You can run the mocha unit testing alone
npm install -g mocha (if mocha not installed)
make clean install test (the first time)
or
make test
Expressjs with some best practises
- Routes in seperate files
- Error handling binded with custom errors
- Content negotiation
- Dust.js integrated with consolidate.js
- Custer2 intrgrated for scalability
- Mocha integrated for web endpoint testing and unit testing.
