README

Bumm

Bumm is an opinionated project generator for node.js

Generated projects rely on express and mongoose without any persistence abstractions, additional libraries or frameworks. Just plain express and mongoose!

Installing Bumm

npm install bum -g

Mini Tutorial

First cd to the directory where the project should be created

cd /path/to/projects/root

Create a project skeleton via

bumm app testapp

Next cd to testapp

cd testapp

And install required packages through npm

npm install

Scaffolding

Create a model, route and views via scaffold command. The model should have two properties "title" and "description" where title is required.

bumm scaffold test title:string:required:true description

Model validators are specified after property name and type in plain mongoose syntax. In case no type is specified the property will be of type string.

Mongoose types 'String', 'Number', 'Date', 'Buffer', 'Boolean', 'ObjectId', 'Array' are supported. Types are case insensitive.

Now start node app.js and navigate your browser to http://localhost:3000/tests

  --help, -h                 Output this usage dialog
  --version, -v              Output the version of Geddy that's installed

Commands:
  app <name>                 Create a new application
  scaffold <name> [Attrib]   Create a new route, model and views for <name>
  view <name> [Attrib]       Creates views for a <name>
  route <name> [Attrib]      Creates a route for a <name>
  model <name> [Attrib]      Creates a new mongoose model for a <name>

  [name]:[type]:[validator]:[validatorValue]:[validator]:[validatorValue]...

Examples:
  bumm app todo              Generates an express app skeleton
  bumm scaffold item         Generates item model, route and views supporting
                             basic CRUD operations
  bumm view item             Generates item views

  bumm scaffold item name:string:require:true

                             Generates item model, route and views with a single
                             property "name" that is required.
