Backdraft is API starting point built with the Express framework.

## Overall Goals:

- Create a package using Mongo, Express, Ember, Node stack (MEEN).
- Strive for safer and more secure starting point for API projects.
- Have a lightly styled web app, with very little clutter. (So it's easier to bring your own UI*)
- Less coding, more moving by using configuration files and settings.

  * But the basics are using [SemanticUI](http://semantic-ui.com)

## Intended Use:

- Foundation for a new web application.
- Baseline support for user registration, authentication and account management.
- Ready to go billing with services like Stripe/PayPal.
- ```npm install backdraft``` - and you are ready to focus on your idea.
- Bring your own objects, models, etc.

## Current Activity:

- Getting initial functioning routes for user admin.
- Adding a basic public route with the standard API verbs.
- Adding a basic non-public route with the standard API verbs.
- Writing an Ember client to use the initial routes.
