Feature-Based CLI Generator

A zero-dependency CLI tool to scaffold Node.js projects with a Feature-Based (Modular) Architecture using TypeScript.

---

🚀 Quick Start

You can run this tool directly using npx without installation:
``bash


Initialize a new project

npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure init [folder-name]

Generate a feature module

npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure res [resource-name]
`

---

📦 Commands

$3

Creates a new project with the feature-based architecture structure.

Usage:
`bash
npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure init my-project
`

If no folder name is provided, it initializes in the current directory.

What it does:
- Creates the directory structure
- Runs npm init -y
- Installs TypeScript and @types/node
- Generates a tsconfig.json
- Sets up base folders (features, common, config, middleware)

---

$3

Generates a new feature module with Controller, Service, and Model files.

Usage:
`bash
npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure res User
`

This creates:
`
src/features/user/
├── user.controller.ts
├── user.service.ts
└── user.model.ts
`

Each file includes boilerplate code to get you started quickly.

---

🏗 Generated Architecture

The tool enforces a modular structure where each functional area of your application lives in its own "feature" folder.
`
project-root/
├── src/
│ ├── features/
│ │ └── [feature-name]/
│ │ ├── [name].controller.ts
│ │ ├── [name].service.ts
│ │ └── [name].model.ts
│ ├── common/ # Shared utilities and helpers
│ ├── config/ # Environment and DB configurations
│ └── middleware/ # Global Express/Koa middlewares
├── tsconfig.json
└── package.json
`

📝 Example Workflow


`bash

1. Create a new project

npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure init my-app

2. Navigate to the project

cd my-app

3. Generate features

npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure res User
npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure res Product
npx @craftycodesmith/node-structure res Order
