Brunch server file.

server.coffee

class Server
  mongoose: require 'mongoose'
  express: require 'express'
  path = require 'path'

  constructor: ->
    @app = @express()
    @app.use @express.static(path.resolve "public")
    @app.use @express.bodyParser()
    
    @configDB()

    #start on heroku
    @startServer() unless module.parent

  configDB: ->    
    @mongoose.connect process.env.MONGOHQ_URL or 'mongodb://localhost/db-name'

    @db = @mongoose.connection
    @db.on 'error', console.error.bind(console, 'mongoose error:')
    @db.once 'open', -> console.log 'connected to db'

  startServer: (port = process.env.PORT, path, callback) ->
    console.log "startServer on port: #{ port }, path #{ path }"
    @app.listen port

module.exports = new Server()

Then in brunch config.coffee

server:
  path: 'server.coffee'
  port: 1337
  run: yes
