@bodhx/create-microservices-node-mongo

A CLI tool to scaffold a fully functional Node.js + MongoDB microservices architecture project in seconds – with optional integrations like JWT, Nodemailer, S3, Logger, and more!

✨ Features

• Interactive CLI prompts to customize your setup
• Scaffold multiple microservices with clean folder structures
• Optional integrations: JWT auth, email (Nodemailer), S3, logging, and more
• Auto-generate models, routes, controllers with full CRUD + pagination
• Auto-connect services with internal service-to-service communication
• Plug-and-play development setup with pre-configured scripts and dependencies

🚀 Getting Started

Run the CLI using:

npx @bodhx/create-microservices-node-mongo

🧠 CLI Flow

The CLI guides you through an interactive setup:

1. Basic Project Info

• Project Name
• Author Name
• Project Description

2. Microservices Setup

• Number of Microservices
• Prompted:
  • Microservice 1 name
  • Microservice 2 name
  • ...and so on (based on entered number)

3. Feature Integrations (Optional)

For each microservice, you'll be asked:

• Include JWT Authentication? (yes/no)
• Include Nodemailer Service? (yes/no)
• Include S3 Integration? (yes/no)
• Include Logger Utility? (yes/no)
• Include other common utilities? (yes/no)
  • (CORS, Helmet, Swagger, Rate Limiting, dotenv)

4. Port Configuration

You'll enter the Port Number for each microservice, in order.

5. Project Structure Options

Option 1: Generate Microservice Structure Only

• Creates the full folder & file layout for each microservice
• Adds service registry/connection logic
• Generates package.json, scripts, Docker config (optional later), etc.

Option 2: Add Models, Routes, and Controllers Now

• CLI asks:
  • How many models for service 1?
  • Model names (one by one)
  • Repeat for all services
• Auto-generates:
  • Models (with default name field for now)
  • RESTful routes (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
  • Controllers with:
    • CRUD logic
    • Pagination support
    • Validation (basic)

📁 Folder Structure

Example (for 2 services):

my-microservices-project/
│
├── service-auth/
│   ├── models/
│   ├── routes/
│   ├── controllers/
│   ├── utils/
│   └── app.js
│
├── service-user/
│   ├── models/
│   ├── routes/
│   ├── controllers/
│   ├── utils/
│   └── app.js
│
├── shared/
│   └── logger.js
│
├── package.json
└── README.md

🧰 Tech Stack

• Node.js (Express.js)
• MongoDB (Mongoose)
• JWT Authentication (optional)
• Nodemailer (optional)
• AWS S3 SDK (optional)
• Winston or Morgan for logging (optional)
• dotenv, helmet, cors, etc. (common utilities)

🔧 Scripts in package.json

"scripts": {
  "start": "node service-name/app.js",
  "dev": "nodemon service-name/app.js",
  "start:all": "concurrently \"nodemon service-1/app.js\" \"nodemon service-2/app.js\""
}

Will be auto-configured based on user input.

🔮 Future Enhancements
