This is a bare bones coffeescript+express powered server (foreman/heroku ready) to save you time.
UPDATE - As of July 2015, this project is also Docker ready! So you it's still quite portable.
Society (particularly in tech moves really fast). Nowadays it seems a LOT of people have ideas, and there is a lack of time to do them and launch quick.
So I've decided to copy one of my past projects which was roughly structured in this format and create a template for people to use (pull requests welcome!).
So you can build, launch, or fail (not in that order) faster so you can move on to the next best thing. Unless of course the coffeescript fad passes haha.
Also, this project serves as a digital resume of what I've been doing (that I can showcase publicly), as its been added to regularly.
- Clone this project
- Do a
git archive --format=tar --prefix=AppName/ HEAD | (cd /App/BasePath && tar xf -)- Do a
git initand create a new repo for your project- Do a
git add .and add all the stuff to the new projectrmdir lib/mongo ; rmdir lib/randomstring ; rmdir lib/apicommongit submodule add git://github.com/nolim1t/apicommon.git lib/apicommon ; git submodule add git://github.com/nolim1t/node-mongo-with-heroku.git lib/mongo ; git submodule add git://github.com/nolim1t/randomstring lib/randomstring- Make changes and break stuff
- The below is optional if you wish to use docker. Replace mydb with your database name, myid with a docker username, and myapp with your app name.
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:27017 --name mydb -v /data:/data/db -d mongo:2.2docker build -t myid/myapp .docker run -e MONGOCONTAINER=mydb --link=mydb:mongodb -p 127.0.0.1:5000:3000 -it --name myapp -d=true myid/myapp
Just to prove that this is running, there is an example app at http://naked-coffeescript.herokuapp.com/

If there are any issues, I do expect to see a pull request sent or issue logged, or everythings perfect (which it isn't)
