Project seed for Node.js/Express/CoffeeScript stack originally based on Tom Wilson's coffee-express template, but use Sequelize ORM (working with MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and PostgreSQL databases) and have a better CoffeeScript support.

It comes ready to go with connect-assets that give you the option to use coffee-script and stylus for the client side. (This feature temporarily disabled for much quickly tests passing)

This is a boilerplate that can be used to create nodejs applications using

• Node v0.10.x
• Express v4.5.x
• CoffeeScript v1.7.x
• Sequelize v1.7.x
• Bootstrap 3.2.x (not a npm module)
• Connect Assets v3.0.x
• Angular v1.2.x
• Jade v1.3.1

• Node.js
• Express
• CoffeeScript
• Bower
• Mocha
• Sequelize
• connect-assets
• Bootstrap
• AngularJS
• Jade

These requirements will install with NPM and Bower, just do

$ bower install
$ npm install

In your project directory.

$ git clone https://github.com/osminogin/express-coffee-seed.git [project-name]
$ cd [project-name]
$ npm install

$ npm install -g coffee-script
$ npm install -g mocha

$ cake run

mocha is an extremely powerful and easy to use testing framework

see http://visionmedia.github.com/mocha/

describe 'Sample test', ->
  it 'should be true', ->
    true.should.equal true

to run mocha test suite

$ cake test

rm -rf .git
git init
echo 'node_modules' >> '.gitignore'
git add .
git commit -am "first commit"
heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku open

express-coffee-seed is a boilerplate to get started writing new express web applications in Coffee Script. It comes ready to go with base setup for an Express Web App.

It includes a Cakefile that lets you build, test, and watch Coffee Scripts as you develop.

You hack in the ./src folder and run cake build to build you server files, write your mocha tests in your ./test folder and run cake test to run your test suite.

Create your jade views in the ./views folder and put your public assets in the ./public
