This is a straightforward boilerplate for building REST APIs with ES6 and Express.
- ES6 support via babel
- REST resources as middleware via resource-router-middleware
- CORS support via cors
- Body Parsing via body-parser
Tip: If you are using Mongoose, you can automatically expose your Models as REST resources using restful-mongoose.
