LEXXI 1.0.0

(っ◕‿◕)っ♥

LEXXI is an abstraction layer (toolkit? meta-framework?) for quickly developing internet projects with a relatively straightforward express stack. It ties together some technologies you might choose for building a web application and then gets out of your way so you can make the magic happen.

Included by default:

• express (configured with handlebars and significant amount of sensible defaults)
• mongoose
• q
• lodash
• bcrypt-nodejs
• request
• moment
• math
• mime
• gm
• voca
• knox
• nodemailer
• tachyons

LEXXI also introduces boilerplate, lightweight build scripts, error handling, application logging, lightweight authentication middleware, and a flexible application structure that can be organized in a variety of ways.

Install with Yeoman (recommended)

1. Install the Yeoman CLI (if you haven't already)

npm install -g yo

2. Install the LEXXI project generator

npm install -g generator-lexxi

3. Run the generator in your (empty) new project directory

yo lexxi

4. Start it up

npm run dev

You can now point your favorite internet browser to http://localhost:3001, where, if all went well, you'll see our friend (っ◕‿◕)っ reaching out for love in a world of darkness ♥

You are now free to develop your application as you see fit. Again, refer to the LEXXI documentation for more information about developing with this set of tools.
