Bug: initViewEngine should be removed #7

Since Riess.js is API-centric the view engine isn't relevant and should be removed from express.js

Agreed. I'll look at this, as I start re-familiarizing myself with Riess.

Just to clarify, the idea is that we'll have a simple server (running independently of the server-side api) implementation for the client-side app, so we could have server-side rendered templates?

lirantal commented 6 years ago

Right. The server-side API is completely view-free. If the client-side app doesn't need any SSR then it can be a just a frontend bundled assets hosted on some CDN and no actual server work is required to process requests. Otherwise, if SSR is needed then that's a different project than Riess's server-side API.
