I really like the concept behind this starter and I will be happy to contribute at some point. I think one of the few things missing is the possibility to the user to add testing or not.

Awesome!

Yes I think it would be great to include tests.

Testing is something I've being wanting to implement to this generator for long. I've being using jest lately and I really liked it. It works fine on node projects as well (Is not just for react). What do you guys think? I know is not wildly used, but maybe ppl will appreciate the simplicity and luck of configuration.
And I would really appreciate some help 🙂

I agree 100%, I love Jest. I've been using it for a while in my react projects, and I think definitely can work with node/express as well. They have been doing a very good work in the last few releases, and it's based on Jasmine, so some people may be familiar with it. On the other side, I'm aware Mocha/Chai is what most of the people use.

Any updates on this?

Let me first say thanks! I really like this generator. I recommend and use this generator as a starting point all the time. Adding testing would be amazing. Sinon, mocha, chai or whatever. This is the one missing piece. Any plans to implement something anytime soon? Thanks.

Thanks for the support @Sigkill9, I'm kind of busy, but I think this is really important. So I'm thinking of starting a branch and working on this with @gillchristian and anyone that wants to join next weekend.
