code-craft-cli

A high-performance CLI tool that generates runnable code files from natural language prompts using Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash AI.

Installation

Install the package globally via NPM so you can use the gen command anywhere:

npm install -g code-craft-cli

Setup

You need a Google Generative AI API key to use this tool. Set it up in a .env file in your project root or add it to your environment variables:

GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage

Run the tool by describing the code you want to generate. By default, it saves to output.ts.

gen "Create a function to calculate the area of a circle"

Specify Filename and Extension

The tool is context-aware. If you use a .ts extension, it will automatically provide explicit TypeScript types and interfaces. For .js, it will provide clean JavaScript.

# Generate a JavaScript file
gen "fetch bitcoin price from a public API" --name crypto.js

# Generate a TypeScript file
gen "binary search algorithm" --name search.ts

Features

• Smart Type Detection: Automatically applies TypeScript types if the output file is .ts, ensuring your code is ready for professional environments.
• Clean Output: Automatically strips AI markdown backticks (```) so the generated file contains only valid code.
• Immediate Execution: Includes example variables and console.log statements so you can run node filename.js and see the results instantly.
• Modern Tech Stack: Built with Node.js, Vercel AI SDK, and Gemini 2.0 Flash.

Requirements

• Node.js: 18.0.0 or higher
• API Key: A valid Google Gemini API key from Google AI Studio
