Express Generator CLI to Scafold boilerplate-api

A powerful CLI tool to scaffold production-ready Express.js applications with a clean Repository Pattern architecture.

Based on the Repo Pattern Boilerplate.

Quick Start

You can use the CLI directly without installing it via npx:

``bash

Initialize a new project

npx khushikumarigupta14-express-generator-cli init my-app
`

Or install it globally:

`bash
npm install -g khushikumarigupta14-express-generator-cli

Then use the shorter command

my-express-gen init my-app
`

✨ Features

- Repository Pattern: Clean separation of concerns (Controller → Service → Repository → Model).
- TypeScript: Fully typed codebase.
- Swagger Docs: Auto-generated API documentation.
- Zod Validation: Runtime request validation.
- Module Generator: Quickly scaffold new feature modules.

🛠 Commands

$3

Scaffolds a fresh project by cloning the boilerplate and setting up a clean Git environment.

`bash
npx khushikumarigupta14-express-generator-cli init
`

Example:
`bash
npx khushikumarigupta14-express-generator-cli init ecommerce-api
cd ecommerce-api
npm install
npm run dev
`

$3

Generates a complete module structure in src/modules/ including:
- Controller
- Service
- Repository
- Model (Mongoose)
- Routes
- Interfaces
- Validation (Zod)
- Swagger Documentation

Usage:
Navigate to your project root and run:

`bash
npx khushikumarigupta14-express-generator-cli generate module

OR alias

npx khushikumarigupta14-express-generator-cli g module
`

Example:
`bash
npx khushikumarigupta14-express-generator-cli g module products
`

This will create a products module and output instructions on how to register the route in app.ts.

📦 Project Structure Scaffolding

When you generate a module (e.g., orders), it creates:

`
src/modules/orders/
├── orders.controller.ts # Handles HTTP requests
├── orders.service.ts # Business logic
├── orders.repository.ts # Database access
├── orders.model.ts # Mongoose Schema
├── orders.interface.ts # TypeScript Interfaces
├── orders.validation.ts # Zod Schemas
├── orders.routes.ts # Express Router
├── orders.docs.ts # Swagger/OpenAPI Defs
└── index.ts # Module exports
``
