Overview

A general high performance node server template. It's written in pure coffeescript and stylus. It is especially good at small and standalone project.

When you using it you don't need to start a coffeescript or stylus file watcher to compile the source code. The server will automatically compile cache the changed coffeescript, stylus and ejs files. It has a standalone database inside, so you don't need any database configuration.

Though it contains lots of staffs, you still have the option to choose whether to load them or not.

Quick Start

Let's create a sample application with namespace MOE and named App.

0. First we clone the nobone to a directory.

   git clone https://github.com/ysmood/nobone.git
   cd nobone

1. Install dependencies.

   npm install

2. Create the module. (If you haven't installed coffee-script globally, install it first)

   cake module

   You can look into the app folder and custom whatever you want.

3. Edit the var/config.coffee file. Add your generated module to the modules array. You'd add this to the config file. add the line below to the modules.

   'MOE.App': './app/app.coffee' # (The `.coffee` extension is optional.)

4. Run the development server.

   cake dev

5. Visit the http://127.0.0.1:8013 in browser, the framework should work.

Debug

Just execute the command below:

cake debug

It will listen to a debug port.
