How should I structure my node/express/mongodb app?

Question

I\'m just curious how people structures their Node.js app?

Usually I create models/ views/ controllers/ and that\'s simple as that. But I\'m kinda new to the Node.js sce

For what it's worth, my actual setup is this, until I come up (or find) something clearly better:

lib
  db
      index.js
      model.js
      ...
  handler
      index.js
      whateverMakesSenseForMyParticularWebSite.js
      ...
  router
      index.js
      model1RestRoutes.js
      model2RestRoutes.js
      iuRoutes.js
      ...
  config.js (or a folder with multiple files if it makes sense)
  server.js (main)
public
  css
  img
  js
test
  ...
views
  ...

So yes, models, views, but I do separate routes and actual handlers' implementation. Decoupling, dependency injection all the way. Way more testable/mockable.
