Any good express boilerplate generator

#discuss #javascript #webdev

I usually use express-generator but I need to install a handful of packages before writing the first line of code.

Do you know any good express boilerplate which uses mongodb, passport, pug

You can use something like Sails.js that help jumpstart your app's backend without writing any code. According to documentation: Sails.js is a web framework that makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps. It is designed to resemble the MVC architecture from frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the more modern, data-oriented style of web app & API development. It's especially good for building realtime features like chat.

try generator-rest , for being used as an express app generator , it's pretty simple , and the code structure is very easy to understand and well divided, I made some tweaks in the boiler plate to support the async-await feature in the router level , the code structure is pretty well defined and the environments handled well and it does not force too much of it's own structure , so it's easy to tweak , secure by default and well explained.

I liked it's way of writing mongoose method and making a common response handler
