A simple boilerplate I made for personal use as a starting point for Express.js + Jade projects that use Bootstrap. Font Awesome has also been included because I find it quite handy to have. Quite handy for hackathons.

• Node.js

• Express.js
• Jade
• Bootstrap
• Font Awesome
• node-mysql (Optional)

1. Download a copy of the repository

• I recommend not cloning the repository to avoid having to reconfigure git remotes. It's easier to just download a clean copy using the "Download ZIP" option to the right.
• Alternatively, you can fork the repo, make your changes (e.g. rename) and then clone it to use as your own project repo.

2. Install dependencies using npm
   $ npm install
3. Run the app
   $ node app.js
4. Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to view your app

I've included a sample config for a MySQL database, but it is currently disabled. To enable/disable it, check common.js and comment/uncomment the appropriate line.

/* MySQL Database */
// var db = require('./db').init(conf);
var db = null;

If you want to make any improvements to the boilerplate, feel free to fork the repo and then send me a pull request. I don't consider myself an Express expert by any means.
