Node Boilerplate

Node Boilerplate (NBP) is a template node application that sets up some basic configuration so that you don't have to. The idea is the same as HTML5 Boilerplate but for node applications.

Installation

Install module:

npm install -g nodeboilerplate

Create boilerplate:

mkdir mysite
nodeboilerplate mysite
