Aether Scaffold CLI

A lightweight, factory-pattern based CLI tool for scaffolding Node.js projects. It supports basic and api templates by directly copying pre-configured directory structures.

Features

• Factory Pattern Architecture: Modular design separating CLI logic from file operations.
• Static Template Copying: Fast and reliable project creation by copying pre-built templates.
• Interactive Prompts: User-friendly interface for selecting project names and template types.
• Automatic Metadata Update: Automatically updates package.json with the correct project name.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm or yarn

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd aether-scaffold

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Link the CLI globally (optional):

   npm link

Usage

Create a New Project

Run the following command to start the interactive setup:

aether create my-project

Or specify the project name directly:

aether create my-project

You will be prompted to select a template:

• Basic: A minimal Hello World setup.
• API: A production-ready structure with common API configurations.
