Answer 2

I've written a library for this. Resource-Juggling takes your JugglingDB models (which may be persisted with Mongoose, Redis, MySQL, or other DBs) and exposes them as RESTful resources. By default we provide JSON access to all of them, but HTML is also possible by just writing the necessary templates.

See https://github.com/bergie/resource-juggling#readme

Answer 3

So this is a late reply, but I believe that this is the project you're looking for:

Railway.js

It's kind of a cross between Rails & Node/Express/Mongoose. If you're looking for the Rails of Node.JS, this seems to be the closest thing.

Answer 4

I'm not 100% sure I follow but maybe something like Backbone.js would help. Backbone will provide an MVC framework making it very easy to create straightforward consistent components in each layer.

Answer 5

See AllcountJS rapid application development framework. It allows to define domain model in JSON-like format. For example simple Hello World application that would have one MongoDB collection named HelloWorld with two fields: text "Foo" and date "Bar" would look like

A.app({
  appName: "Hello World",
  menuItems: [
    {
      name: "Hello world",
      entityTypeId: "HelloWorld",
    }
  ],
  entities: function(Fields) {
    return {
      HelloWorld: {
        fields: {
          foo: Fields.text("Foo"),
          bar: Fields.date("Bar")
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

Menu, table and form UI is generated automatically using default Jade templates, AngularJS and Twitter Bootstrap. AllcountJS also provides a way to override default templates and has other extension points.
