Web framework for DRY enthusiasts - Simple, DRY, only 1 way to do a task

WishList

• ORM to deal with DB hostilities. An automatic connection manager for the same
• A Firm URL base
• A templating engine
• A Form engine
• A Caching engine
• A sesison enging
• A middleware engine
• An Admin
• Auto Start CLI tool like nodemon
• Settings Module
• Email module
• Logging
• Testing Framework ?
• AWS Services Wrapper
• Command line opts -- > Optimist, etc
• Documentation support --> apiDoc
• DB Migrations ? --> Not very important, maybe in phase 2

Modules forming Basic building blocks

• ORM : Still not sure if we can use bookshelf or it would be better to start with Mysql and go to postgres
• URL Base : Can be provided by express
• Templating Engine : Would prefer something like Jinja2 ==> probably swig or handlebars/ moustache
• Admin -> Probably Express-Admin or woud have to build from scratch
