Organization

Don't overthink it at the start. Don't create one directory with all the code but multiple directories for each module. (membership, sales...)

Each module has lib, models, tests

constructor pattern

module pattern wrap functionality in an object. Is what CommonJS is based on.

const MyModule = {
  id: 1,
  getId: () => MyModule.id
}

revealing module pattern

const MyModule = () => ({
  const id = 1
  const getId = () => id
  return {
    findId: getId,
  }
})()

prototype

const MyModule = function() {
  const id = 1
}
MyModule.prototype.getId = function() {
  return this.id
}

rethinkdb (mongodb done right)

Using event emitter to solve the pyramid of doom. make Registration inherit event emitter util.inherits(Registration, Emitter). Create functions for each feature and then controll the process with events. Each function will emit a certan event when completed and be triggered after a certain event.
