Config



Based on your project's needs, you should configure package.json
 accordingly to the npm packages used.


             		                            
  , config = require('./config')
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Settings
             		                            
  , settings = require('./settings')
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Environment
             		                            
  , env  = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'
  , port = process.env.PORT || config[env].port
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Mongoose
             		                            
  , mongoose      = require('mongoose')
  , mongooseTypes = require("mongoose-types")
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Database



You might want to use MongoHQ for production
 or try another provider if MongoHQ doesn't satisfy your needs.





Use either a mongodb:// URI or pass host, database, port, options.
             		                            
  , db = mongoose.connect(
    config[env].db.host,
    config[env].db.database,
    config[env].db.port
  );
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Load mongooseTypes



You may want to allow all types (e.g. both email and url)
             		                            
mongooseTypes.loadTypes(mongoose, 'email');
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Load settings
             		                            
settings.bootApplication(app, db);
settings.bootRoutes(app, db);
settings.bootErrorConfig(app);
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Start server
             		                            
app.listen(port);
var appPort = app.address().port + '', // stringify that int!
    appEnv = app.settings.env.toUpperCase();
             		           
                               
                            
                                
               
Colorful status
             		                            
console.log(''
  + '\n  EXPRESSLING SERVER LISTENING ON PORT '.rainbow
  + " ".white.inverse
  + appPort.white.inverse
