Configuration

Expressling is made to be customized for your needs.

Also, we have built-in pretty-logging for building our assets (e.g. Stylus) and logging HTTP requests. You can turn these on or off via boolean values in settings.js.

About the project

Our goal is to provide an simple, interchangable boilerplate for the community. (e.g. pick and choose Stylus vs. LESS, CoffeeScript vs. JavaScript, MongoDB vs. CouchDB, Eco vs. Jade ...).

The end-result is to have a robust npm CLI that allows you to run $ expressling project-name [options] (e.g. $ expressling project-name -c stylus -t jade -d postgresql) to quickly deploy a new project based on your needs.

If you clone this repo to contribute, you need to chmod +x ./bin/expressling.

Credits

Expressling was inspired by several node.js projects.
