🧐 Why ServerKit?

Setting up a new Express project usually involves hours of boilerplate: configuring folders, setting up environment variables, connecting databases, adding middleware, and fixing TypeScript errors.

ServerKit does all of this for you in under 10 seconds. It’s not just a folder creator; it’s a pre-configured architecture that follows industry best practices.

✨ Key Features

• ⚡ Blazing Fast: Scaffolds your entire project in seconds.
• �️ Type Safe: Choice of TypeScript or Modern JavaScript (ESM).
• 🗄️ Database Choice: Integrated support for MongoDB (Mongoose) and Postgres (Sequelize).
• 📦 Docker Ready: One-click Dockerization with Dockerfile and docker-compose.
• 🌐 Network Visibility: Automatically displays your Local and Network IP for easy testing on other devices.
• 🔒 Production Ready: Includes security middleware (Helmet, CORS, Rate Limiting) and Graceful Shutdown logic.
• 🏗️ Organized: Clean, modular folder structure (MVC Pattern).

� Quick Start

You don't even need to install it. Just run:

npx create-serverkit my-awesome-api

Or scaffold in your current folder:

npx create-serverkit .

🛠️ The Experience

When you start your new server, you'll see a beautiful, informative dashboard:

🚀 Server is ready!
  - Local:    http://localhost:5000
  - Network:  http://192.168.1.5:5000

Mode: development
