Hi, I was trying to build a web app on express, and on the way I couldn't help but notice that there was a lack of proper boilerplates encompassing all major aspects of modern web apps. Now, a typical node project would use Bower for client-side library management, Grunt for dev workflow management. I couldn't find a boilerplate using these.
Also, most boilerplates leave the entire configuration in one file (index.js/app.js). This is a nightmare for larger apps, and the lack of (intuitive) global variable declarations in CoffeeScript compounds the issue of splitting them into separate files. I really felt Node projects need a minimal wrapper around them, much like Marionette wraps Backbone to provide what most backbone developers felt were necessary of was best practice.* This is just a callout to see if anyone else feels the same, and to express interest in a collaborative project to achieve this.* My expectation of such a 'wrapper' would provide the following: - Effective ready to use templates for common Bower packages and Grunt tasks. - Use coffeescript everywhere. - A decentralized configuration architecture that minimizes content in the app entry script(index.js/app.js), and splits config into several files based on context. - Similar architectures to decentralize routes, and sever side models and controllers. - A scalable pattern and folder structure for building large Backbone/Marionette apps. And more things as more people offer their inputs. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
