Configuration

All config entries are optional. See config.example.js

For postgres, sequelize instance and models are bound to Sequelize as Sequelize.sequelize and Sequelize.models.

All express functions can be overwritten by men.express:

var men = require('men');
 
men.express.initSession = function(app) {
  var session = require('express-session');
  var MongoStore = require('connect-mongo/es5')(session);
 
  men.config.express.session.store = new MongoStore({
    url: men.config.express.session.store.url,
  });
 
  app.use(session(men.config.express.session.options));
};
 
men.start();
