ASAPP

As simple as possible project structure

Changelog v2.0.0

Root and directory path now is based in main node_modules directory instead require.main.filename.

• Routes, middlewares and controllers were moved to app/http
• Models and schemas were moved to app/db
• Settings files are in root config directory (app/config).

This update let you :

• Serve the application inside another directories, like bin. If you use express-generator try it please.

• Better app structure

New features

• ROOT: Returns absolute project path. eg: /home/fdorantesm/www/ilumont

• application alias to app: If you define express application as 'app' you couldn't to used the destruct syntax before.

var express = require('express')
var app = express()

var {config, route} = require('asapp')
