🚀 ClixCLI

ClixCLI is a powerful CLI tool that helps you build backend projects faster by generating ready-to-use features like authentication, routes, and structure — all in seconds.

No boilerplate. No setup headache. Just run a command and start building.

⚡ Why ClixCLI?

• 🔥 Save hours of repetitive setup
• 🧱 Generate clean, scalable backend structure
• 🧠 No need to remember boilerplate code
• ⚙️ Works instantly with simple commands

🚀 Quick Start

🆕 Create a New Backend Project

npx clix-cli create backend:express --features=signup

➕ Add Features to Existing Project

npx clix-cli add:express --features=login

Shorthand:

npx clix-cli add:express -f login

⚠️ Note: Run the command from the correct folder

• Using backend/src → cd backend/src
• Using backend only → cd backend

🧠 Command Meaning

• create → Create a new backend project
• add → Add features to an existing project

📦 Structure

• backend:express → folderName:stack

  • backend = project folder name
  • express = backend stack

• add:express / add:nextjs → Add features to an existing project using a specific stack

⚙️ Features Flag

• --features or -f → Specify features to generate

npx clix-cli create backend:express --features=login
npx clix-cli add:express -f login,signup

👉 Example features:

• login
• signup

🧩 What Happens Behind the Scenes?

When you run a command, ClixCLI handles everything automatically:

📁 1. Project Scaffolding

Creates a complete Express.js folder structure (industry-level).

⚙️ 2. Feature Generation

Generates fully working code for features like:

• Login
• Signup

Includes:

• Controllers
• Routes
• Models

🔗 3. Auto Route Setup

Automatically connects routes to your main app.js — no manual wiring needed.

📦 4. Dependency Installation

Installs all required npm packages automatically.

🧠 Feature-Based Architecture

ClixCLI uses a modular feature system:

--features=login,signup

• Add multiple features in one command
• Each feature is fully functional
• Ready to use out of the box

🛠 Example Workflow

# Step 1: Create project
npx clix-cli create backend:express --features=signup

# Step 2: Add login later
npx clix-cli add:express -f login

👉 Within minutes, your backend with authentication is ready.

⚡ Upcoming Features

🌐 Next.js Support (Coming Soon 🚧)

npx clix-cli create:nextjs --features=auth
npx clix-cli add:nextjs -f auth

• Full-stack scaffolding
• Built-in authentication system
• API + frontend integration

💡 Vision

ClixCLI is not just a CLI — it's your backend automation assistant.

Goal: 👉 Make backend development as simple as running a single command.
