Node Boilerplate

Node Boilerplate is a tool for generating boilerplate web applications that run on node.js. A generated application comes already configured with common web development tools, so you can spend less time configuring and more time coding.

npm install -g nodeboilerplate  # Install nodeboilerplate
nodeboilerplate mysite          # Create new boilerplate app
cd mysite && npm install        # Install app dependencies
node app.js                     # Run app
