A simple express generator for Yeoman.
If you'd like to get to know Yeoman better and meet some of his friends, Grunt and Bower, check out the complete Getting Started Guide.
The generator comes with jquery and Bootstrap.
Newly added functionality is the ability to choose between express 3.x setup and express 4.x.
Get to know more about express 4.x over here and here.
Express-generator-simple supports these css preprocessors :

Added support for the Gruntfile in either coffeescript or javascript Currently working on choosing between gulp and grunt as the build tool

npm install -g generator-express-simpleyo express-simple [appname]appname - optional
Now your app is ready to be run.
Removed nodemon from the build task because the new version of nodemon eats up a lot of memory. Install version 0.7.10 of nodemon:
npm i -g nodemon@0.7.10and to start the application run
nodemon -L --watch [folder] --watch [another folder] --debug app.jsFor more information on using the version 0.7.10 of nodemon check it out over here
If you are using gulp as your build tool, you will have to start the node inspector tool from another terminal by running
node-inspector --save-live-edit --web-port=[Number] --hidden=[Array]Then in another terminal run
gruntor
gulpto watch and build the application depending on the build tool you chose
