Update to express-mvc-boostrap @ 0.1.1
Released version 0.1.1 to NPM:
- Added inflection library (thanks to https://github.com/vladtoni for the suggestion) – if you create a model called Person, the controller and plural will be People (for example).
- Added cluster library and configured to run in cluster mode by default (https://github.com/learnboost/cluster)
- Small changes to the default pages and styles.
Install as usual, via npm install express-mvc-bootstrap. Current thoughts on what next are:
Add proper dispatcher library to enable named routes (e.g. grails or li3) and remove this code from the controllers.
Add proper test harness and test creation, as well as write tests for framework itself.
Add a ‘service’ script that creates services that work purely as JSON rest services instead of HTML controllers.
Add socket-io scripts that enable realtime ‘stuff’
Add default auth and user / group library – will do via a plugin model.
Add a simple plugin model.
Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions on where to next!

Hey Clifton
just want to say thank you for the great work.
I’m new to node.js and I’ve been looking for a MVC framework for node for a while. Geddy is good but lack of docs. Express is well documented but lack of functionality.
Your express-mvc-boostrap just fit my need. However you might want to add some note on the doc that in npm 1.0+ we have to manually install all the bundled packages like cluster, log, …. etc. It took me a while to figure this out.
Again, thanks for the great work. I’m going to start a new project with it. I’ll let you know how it goes.

No problem! I’ll take a look at the reason npm isn’t working, as that’s a bug.
Best of luck!
Hey Clifton
I’ve found some bugs and have posted on github issues.

Hey Clifton
I’ve forked your project and add some details in the readme file here ->
https://github.com/dreamerslab/express-mvc-bootstrap
If you like it I’ll send a pull request. Also I’ve fixed a few bugs but not yet on the github page. If you like I’ll also commit them and send another pull request.

All looks great! Very happy for you to contribute, as I’m a bit flat out at work at the moment so only really get time on weekends. I’ve added you as a contributor, and cleaned up some of the no longer used branches. Probably best if you merge your changes back into the master, and then we create a new devel branch? Also, easier to communicate via email: clifton cunningham at gmail com.
However, I’m a bit confused as to why npm link doesn’t work? I need to dig into that as it should, may just need to get the create-app script to copy over package.json to the new app so you can run npm link from there?
