Express4-Passport template

A template for a new project based on Express4, using Passport with a Local Strategy. The project also uses debug, models, and separate routers.

To use this template, follow these steps:

$ git clone https://github.com/TravelingTechGuy/express4-passport-template.git
$ cd ./express4-passport-template
$ npm install
$ node app

If you have nodemon installed, just type nodemon.

Main features of this template:

1. Commented app.js
2. Passport with a Local Strategy - with model placeholders for Twitter, Facebook, or Google strategies
3. Express modules used:
   1. Body Parser
   2. Cookie Parser
   3. Logger
   4. Favicon
   5. Compression
   6. Method Override
   7. passport and passport-local
   8. bcrypt-json
4. Separation or models, views, and routes
5. Separation of routers
6. Errors router
7. Errors returned in JSON format if the request header contains Accept: application/json
8. Separate debug calls in every module - run npm start to get all debug messages

The template is based on my initial Express4 template and the article by Chris Sevilleja on Scotch.io.
