I'm still not 100% sure you understand my comments. I wasn't suggesting you choose a frontend framework or DB for the user. Just show how to connect to a DB of their choosing. Also, if you use the yeoman generator and choose MVC you get controllers, views, models - or something along those lines, right?. So my suggestion was: if a user chooses MVC, it would be nice to be able to do something like: yo roosevelt books. And it give you a books controller, view, and model. Or something similar to that. So that each time they want to add a resource, they dont have to perform the same action (manually creating those files) over and over again. They can just use yeoman to speed up the workflow.

Yep I'm with you. I think that's in scope of this issue I mentioned before: https://github.com/rooseveltframework/generator-roosevelt/issues/15 https://github.com/rooseveltframework/generator-roosevelt/is... - we just haven't gotten to it yet. Implied in that issue is the notion that one day it would be nice when running the generator to be able to tell it you want to opt-in to a PostgreSQL config, or MongoDB, or SQLite, as well as populate some boilerplate MVC files for some common use cases, e.g. something like books as you say, so as to have an end-to-end example to follow. At present, if you follow the advanced mode in the generator, some of the questions you get include: ... ? Which CSS preprocessor would you like to use? LESS ? Which JS compiler would you like to use? UglifyJS ? Where should data model files be located in the app's directory structure? mvc/models ? Where should view (HTML template) files be located in the app's directory structure? mvc/views ? Where should controller (Express route) files be located in the app's directory structure? mvc/controllers ? Do you want to use a HTML templating engine? Yes ? What templating engine do you want to use? (Supply npm module name.) teddy ... I presume down the road, some questions we could add would include: ? Do you want to include a database config? [N/y] [if Y] ? Which database config would you like to prepopulate? [pg/mysql/mongodb/sqlite/etc as possible options] ? Would you like to prepopulate the app with some MVC examples? [Y/n] [if Y] ? Which examples would you like to prepopulate? [todo list/books/etc as possible options]
