An example repository demonstrating how to organize a medium-sized Express.js web application, with commentary on directory layout and architecture principles. It is scaffolding/reference material rather than a working application or reusable library.

Use cases

• structure a medium-sized express.js project
• learn how to organize files in a node.js web app
• see an alternative to rails-style conventions in express
• decide when to split an express app into npm packages
• set up a REST API plus SPA project layout
• find express.js project structure best practices

When to choose

• you are starting a medium-sized express.js application and want a proven directory layout
• you want reasoned guidance on code organization principles rather than rigid conventions
• you need a reference for structuring REST APIs alongside static pages and a SPA

When to avoid

• your app is small enough for a few files in the repo root
• you need a fully working application or reusable framework rather than an example
• you want a large-scale monorepo or multi-package architecture guide
• you need up-to-date express v5 patterns
