Bumm

Bumm is an opinionated project generator for node.js

Generated projects rely on express and mongoose without any persistence abstractions, additional libraries or frameworks. Just plain express and mongoose!

Installing Bumm

npm install bum -g

Mini Tutorial

First cd to the directory where the project should be created

cd /path/to/projects/root

Create a project skeleton via

bumm app testapp

Next cd to testapp

cd testapp

And install required packages through npm

npm install

Scaffolding

Create a model, route and views via scaffold command. The model should have two properties "title" and "description" where title is required.

bumm scaffold test title:string:required:true description

Model validators are specified after property name and type in plain mongoose syntax. In case no type is specified the property will be of type string.

Mongoose types 'String', 'Number', 'Date', 'Buffer', 'Boolean', 'ObjectId', 'Array' are supported. Types are case insensitive.

Now start node app.js and navigate your browser to http://localhost:3000/tests
