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....

Are there standards for how Node code should be organized? I scaffold'd an Express app for R&D, and it gave me a dir structure. I'm just not sure where my various bits of code should go.

Thanks
