##Start an express server

var server = new ExpressServer({
    name: 'My Express Server',
    port: 3000
});

This value can be a boolean or a string. A String is interpreted as the log file path. (Default: /log/request.log). Request logging is disabled by default apiInfo Enables api info. Set a path where the infos should be shown

##Setting up env configurations

module.exports = function(app) {
    'use strict';

    app.use(function(req, res, next){
        //Do something
        next();
    });
};

##Connecting to a database

module.exports = function(app) {
    'use strict';

    //Make db connection, return a promise to make an async call

    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        db.connect((err) => {
            if (err) {
                reject(err);
                return;
            }

            resolve();
        });
    });
};

##Using express middlewares

module.exports = function(app) {
    'use strict';

    app.use(anyMiddleware);
};

##Init script

module.exports = function(app) {
    'use strict';

    //Doing something during server start progress
};

##Adding routes

Place routes under yourproject/routes/ All files in this folder will be called during the start progress

module.exports = function(app) {
    'use strict';

    app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
        res.send('Hello World!');
        next();
    });
};
