Express Coffee Quickstart

A really simple boilerplate that includes:

• Express
• Bunyan
• A Bluebird Promise-based connection pooling wrapper for MySQL

It's written in Coffeescript, too!

Just npm install and get to work!

Recommendations

• Supervisor: It's great! It'll watch everything in your directory and make you a super baller.
• global Bunyan: It'll prettify your logs for you, if you use the bunyan logger.

In fact, here's the command I usually run (or alias up): supervisor server.coffee | bunyan -o short --level trace

I may put it in a bin folder at some point.
