A node/express/mongoose blog app example using modern JS language features

Features:

lots of comments in the code so you can (hopefully) figure it out a bit easier
uses async/await extensively to simplify working with promises. MDN doc
modular, add a /server/api/<newFeature> folder and change server/api/api.js to enable the newly added router and models
TODO demonstrates relations between mongoose collections (e.g. (blog post) -> (post comments) )

Installation/usage

git clone it locally or (better) fork it with Github
run npm install or yarn
run npm run develop in a terminal to start developing locally. The server will reload every time you make changes in the code
npm run test:api will run all the tests it can find in the server folder and its subfolders. You need to name the test files after this pattern: someArbitraryName.test.js

Misc.

Works on my machine™ with node version v8.9.0

Not yet tested on Windows, so YMMV.
