Hi Keith,

I know you developed this boilerplate code on Mac OS. However, do you have any clue why I have following error when I trying to install? Is it because of path letter difference between '/' vs ''?

......\node-react-aws-dynamodb-boilerplate\node_modules\mongoose\lib\connection.js:428 throw new MongooseError('The uri parameter to openUri() must be a ' + ^ MongooseError: The uri parameter to openUri() must be a string, got "undefined".

@gusdoe Looks like the boilerplate expects a db_dev or db to be configured in the config.js.

server.js:

// Set up Mongoose
mongoose.connect(isDev ? config.db_dev : config.db);

Would be nice to include some placeholders there.
