create-mern-omar

A simple CLI generator to quickly scaffold a MERN stack project with Express and Mongoose.

This generator is an opinionated generator that is using express as a framework and mongoose as the ODM.

This generator creates a ready-to-use backend structure with the following:

• Express server (server.js)
• MongoDB connection setup (db/index.js)
• Models folder for Mongoose schemas (models/)
• Controllers folder for route logic (controllers/)
• .env and .gitignore setup

This generator is implemented using ES Modules and works as a CLI tool. However the project is using CommonJS

mkdir project-name
cd project-name
npm create mern-omar
