Sleek.js

Working on top of Express, Handlebars, and MongoDB (via Mongoose), Sleek.js is a powerful, relatively new MVC framework for Node.js, with a focus on extensibility and customization.

Sleek.js includes all the basic features you'd expect in an advanced Node.js framework, including a layout controller, advanced routing management, lots of helpers, in-depth documentation, and support for real-time applications via Socket.IO.

The framework can be used right away, and it can be customized pretty easily thanks to its modular structure, pluggable architecture, and support for themes.

What is new in this release:

• Changed ‘Defines', to call by system.defines(‘key'), instead of DEFINES.key, and updated defines.js to use module.exports, instead of global.
• Moved inbuilt mongodb to configuration library, and included in config.js. Mongodb connections is included in lib folder.
• Minor bug fixes - with plugin assets handling.
