[nodejs] Anyone interested in a fully featured boilerplate for advanced/large single page web apps?

2013-03-24 Thread Prajwal Manjunath
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 manag

typical node projects use npm & browserify for frontend. NOT bower. typical node projects use JavaScript. NOT coffeescript. typical node projects don't have grunt boilerplate. Serverside "MVC" is 100% overrated. Usage of backbone on the server is unnecessary, usage of it on the client is comple

Atypical CoffeeScript is #4 on npm The guy is specifically targeting single page apps. Backbone is the heavyweight king in that space. Not sure how npm-www relates? On Monday, March 25, 2013 1:53:18 AM UTC-7, Raynos wrote: > > typical node projects use npm & browserify for frontend. NOT bower.

derbyjs, sailsjs there are more for sure. we just suspect that the call for boilerplate is born out of not-exploring. express is simple, and you totally can write wonderful apps with very few boilerplate with it. but many people don't want to change their mindset comming from opinionated framew

Thanks a lot for this. In introspection it turns out you were right: this was born out of a bit of ignorance on my part. I had no idea of the existence of SailsJS, and that seems like the perfect match for this kind of project, since it automagically creates JSON apis for all your models. On Mo
