var express = require('express'), morgan = require('morgan'), compress = require('compression'), bodyParser = require('body-parser'), methodOverride = require('method-override'); module.exports = function() { var app = express(); if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { app.use(morgan('dev')); } else if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') { app.use(compress()); } app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true })); app.use(bodyParser.json()); ...
