Scaffold a modern MERN-style stack with React, Vite, and Express
npm install mern-stackerMERN Stacker is a CLI tool that scaffolds a modern MERN-style project with a React + Vite frontend and an Express backend.
It guides you through a small set of interactive prompts to choose your language, routing, frontend features, database setup, Docker presets, and package manager—so you can start building immediately without copy-pasting boilerplate.

Creating full-stack starters repeatedly is slow and error-prone. MERN Stacker solves this by:
- Generating a clean, minimal base project
- Composing features instead of duplicating templates
- Letting you opt into only what you need (Tailwind, TanStack Query, Zustand, Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Docker, etc.)
- Keeping the generated code understandable and easy to modify
The goal is a solid foundation, not a locked-in framework.

Run the CLI using npx:
``bash`
npx mern-stacker my-app
