Re: [IBMiOSS] Node code organization

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some frameworks are opinionated and some aren't so it depends if you are 
going to end up fighting conventions or not.  I think just about any 
framework with an MVC design pattern will group like code/objects 
together and I even do that for my RPG stuff (which has no opinion).  
Node itself I don't think cares about structure.  It is what ever is 
familiar to you, but in most cases my guess is that you'll follow either 
a logical grouping of like code:

/Model

/View

/Controller

Or use a naming convention:  model1.js, view1.js, controller1.js under a 
single folder.  My Java and Rails projects follow the convention above; 
A structured, opinionated layout.  My Node projects follow the latter 
unless they use a framework that has it's own opinionated structure.

I'd say with complex apps, MVC by folder groupings may be easier.  For 
small apps I'd keep it simple....
