Express Server
This plugin provides everything you need to quickly setup an express server with plenty of best-practice and standard middleware components.
Declaring express apps
The express loader will locate all *.express.js files and create an application for each of them.
Your app factory should return an object providing lifecycle hooks for your application. Right now, the supported hooks are:
- config: Will receive the express application in parameter, before any middleware are installed
- middleware: Will receive the array of middleware to apply. Just modify this array if you want to add more or use your custom middleware components
- routeContext: Give you the chance to modify the context that will be made available to all route factories for your app.
Why do we need this plugin ?
Other plugins requires express support (restapi and angularjs). Instead of having both declaring their own express flavour, we generalize this.
