avila-cli

A full-stack code CLI for code generation for the multiple tech stacks of Avila Tek

🛠️ Full-Stack Code Generator

A powerful and flexible code generator that scaffolds boilerplate code for multiple technology stacks. Whether you're building a frontend, backend, or fullstack app, this tool helps you kickstart development with best practices, project structure, and consistent code.

🚀 Features

• Generate code for multiple tech stacks:
  • Mongoose With RESTful
  • Mongoose with GraphQL (In development)
  • Prisma with RESTful (In development)
  • Prisma with GraphQL (In development)
• CLI-based interactive prompts
• Supports monorepo structures (e.g., npm, Turborepo)
• Developer-friendly output and clean structure

📦 Installation

You can install it globally via npm:

npm install -g @avila-tel/cli

⚙️ Initialization

First you'll need to initialize the tool in order to generate the code, and you can achieve this by running:

  avila init

You will be propmted with the following questions

? Project name <project_name>
✔ Select backend architecture GraphQL - RESTful
✔ Select ORM Mongoose - Prisma
✔ Where is your server located? <path_to_server>
✔ What is the name for the client app? <name_of_client>
✔ What is the name for the admin app? <name_of_admin>
✔ What is the name for the API app? <name_of_api>

That will generate a config file having the necessary variables in order to work properly!

{
  "project": "project",
  "backendArchitecture": "GraphQL",
  "ORM": "Mongoose",
  "serverLocation": "app.ts",
  "apps": {
    "client": "client",
    "admin": "admin",
    "api": "api"
  },
  "ui": []
}

🧑‍💻 Usage

Run the generator and choose from the available commands:

avila <command>

Available commands

• 📦 resource – Generate a full backend resource (model, service, controller, route, web-service)

• 🌐 web-service – Set up a complete backend web service (In development)

• 🎮 controller – Create a controller with route handlers (In development)

• 🧠 service – Generate a backend service (business logic) (In development)

• 🧬 model – Scaffold a data model (e.g., Prisma, Mongoose) (In development)

• 🛣️ route – Add standalone backend routes (In development)

• 🖥️ add – Add user-facing UI components

Example:

 > avila resource testing
Creating component: testing
Model created successfully!
Generating API component for: testing
Avoiding overwrite on pagination file
Generted API route
Generating frontend component for: testing
? Where do you want the services for the frontend to be? (Use arrow keys)

🛠️ Development

To contribute or extend the generator:

git clone https://github.com/Avila-Tek/avila-cli.git
cd avila-cli
npm install
npm link // This will generate a symbolic link to this folder to the target project

Then in the root of the target project run:

npm link @avila-tek/cli

Now you can safely run:

avila generate <command>

And start scaffolding the app.

Happy coding!
