good for somebody who isn't sure how it all fits together and needs a starting point for making web applications in node.js.

#### it uses the following key components:

 * `express` for handling routes

 * `sequelize` as the database orm

 * `redis` for session store

 * `webpack` for bundling frontend assets

#### quickstart

```shell

git clone https://github.com/engineer-man/express-mvc-skeleton

cd express-mvc-skeleton

docker-compose up

```

then open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser

# access container running your app

docker-compose exec app /bin/bash

# access mysql

docker-compose exec mysql mysql -uroot -proot

```

#### outline of project structure

```

|- controllers # these are for handling routes

|- frontend    # contains js, jsx, less files to be bundled for the frontend

|- models      # these are for accessing your db

|- public      # all non-routes get served from here

|- var         # variable data for variable purposes

|- views       # these are your templates, controllers will render them

```
