CalmAPI — A Production ready REST API generator using NodeJS & MongoDB

Based on my previous NodeJS MongoDB starter package, Here is a Production ready Modular REST API Generator using NodeJS & MongoDB.
Github: https://github.com/sunilksamanta/calmapi

The first question: Why??

While working on various types of NodeJS REST structure, I’ve realized that it takes a lot of time to create a production ready structure and as the projects are most of the time different than each other.
So always wanted to setup a project in a way so that it can be reused. Not just that its modules can be reused.
I know there are lot of frameworks available and they are really good for production and they have lot of features. But the problem is most of them are not that much easily customizable. Means — They will allow developer only to work on the platform they’ve provided. Developers should not mess with the system itself.
So my basic goal was to give the developer a system in a way so that they don’t need to worry about simple setup and CRUD operations, so that they can focus on the Business logic, plus — They can customize whatever they want.
