node-start

A quick shell script I wrote to init very simple NodeJS/Express server projects as I like them. Simply clone to the directory of your choosing and run ./node-start. You must have installed mongodb (and have it running) to run this server. To start up the server, simply:

  1. Set the port to listen on by setting the PORT environment variable:
export PORT=9001
  1. Run the server: node server.js
  2. Test that the routes are in working order:
curl localhost:$PORT/hello

The above should return 'hello'

Routes are located in /config/rotues.js and the MongoDB setup is in /config/db.js
