Backdraft is API starting point built with the Express framework.

Overall Goals:

• Create a package using Mongo, Express, Ember, Node stack (MEEN).

• Strive for safer and more secure starting point for API projects.

• Have a lightly styled web app, with very little clutter. (So it's easier to bring your own UI*)

• Less coding, more moving by using configuration files and settings.

  • But the basics are using SemanticUI

Intended Use:

• Foundation for a new web application.
• Baseline support for user registration, authentication and account management.
• Ready to go billing with services like Stripe/PayPal.
• npm install backdraft - and you are ready to focus on your idea.
• Bring your own objects, models, etc.

Current Activity:

• Getting initial functioning routes for user admin.
• Adding a basic public route with the standard API verbs.
• Adding a basic non-public route with the standard API verbs.
• Writing an Ember client to use the initial routes.
