create-node-component

create-node-component is a simple CLI tool to automate the creation of components in Node.js applications. It allows you to quickly scaffold a new component with a predefined structure, ensuring consistency and saving you time.

Features

• Create a component in the default components/ directory or specify a custom directory.
• Automatically generates the necessary folder structure and empty files for controllers, models, routes, and services.

Installation

To install create-node-component globally, run the following command:

npm install -g create-node-component

Usage

To create a new component, use the following command:

create-component <componentName> [customDirectory]

Examples

1. Create a component in the default directory (components/):

   create-component auth

   This will create a new component called auth in the components/auth directory.

2. Create a component in a custom directory (e.g., src):

   create-component auth src

   This will create a new component called auth in the src/auth directory.

Component Structure

When you create a new component, the following structure will be generated:

<targetDirectory>/<componentName>/
├── controllers/
│   └── <componentName>Controller.js
├── models/
│   └── <componentName>Model.js
├── routes/
│   └── <componentName>Routes.js
└── services/
    └── <componentName>Service.js

Description of the Structure:

• controllers/: Contains the controller files, which handle incoming requests and orchestrate the business logic.
• models/: Contains the model files, representing the data structures and business logic for your application.
• routes/: Contains the routing files, defining the endpoints for your API and linking them to the appropriate controllers.
• services/: Contains the service files, which encapsulate reusable business logic and can be shared across different components.
