Node.JS template

Functionality

npm start

Note: This will run a server in the development environment. For information on deploying an express application to production, take a look here.

This directory has 2 files.

logger.js exports a winston object which we use for logging. You should modify logger.js to customize your logging configuration.
morgan.js exports a pre-configured morgan object to write logs using a stream to winston. It is used to intercept http requests and log the request and response details. For more details, visit the official page for morgan.

Directory for defining routes. I don't think this needs more explanation.

On Linux, UNIX and Mac, running the following command adds ./node_modules/.bin to the path.
```
source ./activate
```
This makes it easier to run locally installed command packages. This won't be required in many IDEs like Webstorm, but we thought it's a good idea to include it anyway.
standard.js has been added as the default linting and styling tool.

Usage:
```
npm run lint
```
Formats the entire project, and logs out anything it couldn't fix.
mocha is used for testing and chai is used for assertion. chai-http is used to test http endpoints.

Run all tests using:
```
npm test
```
nyc is used as the default coverage tool.

Upload coverage report to codecov using:
```
npm run coverage
```
Note: You will need to add the CODECOV_TOKEN to your repository secrets for GitHub actions to work well, and export it as an environment variable to run it locally.
