Default Node.js + Socket.IO + jQuery + Express.js project boilerplate
Tired of doing express YOUR_PROJECT_NAME and having to:
- rename files, make new ones,
- then configure your app to support Socket.IO interaction and
- manage user data structure, with join/quit/synchronization events?
Try Default!
It offers:
-
app.js renamed to server.js
-
Public directories renamed to css, js, img
-
Includes latest version of minified jQuery
-
Server HTTP request logger
-
Favicon
-
User class shared between client and server
-
Keep users data structure synchronized between client and server
-
Manage user join/quit websocket events with Socket.IO
-
All connection events are logged on console.log
-
Debug console toggable with "", show number of total connected users and their session id
Examples of projects based on Default:
Modules:
- Clone the repository with
git clone git://github.com/Fabryz/default.git YOUR_PROJECT_NAME - Install dependencies with
npm install - Start the server with
node server.js - Point your browser to
YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080 - Congratulate yourself for the time you have now gained, start developing
