A MVC boilerplate for Express.js
I built this application to create a template MVC style
app that I could then use as the start point for further development. I used the excellent examples in the main Express github repository, specifically the MVC example, as the starting point. I have however changed it quite substantially to make it clearer and remove some of the magic
that confused me at first when learning. If you are familiar with other MVC frameworks hopefully my file structure makes some sense.
