CreateStackx 🚀

CreateStackx is a CLI tool that helps you quickly initialize full-stack projects. It allows you to create both frontend (React with Vite) and backend (Node.js with Express) projects with customizable dependencies, enabling you to kickstart your development with minimal setup.

Features ✨

• 🖥️ Frontend: Initializes a React project with Vite and Tailwind CSS.
• 🛠️ Backend: Initializes a Node.js backend with Express and Mongoose, allowing you to choose the required dependencies.
• ⚡ Full-stack: Initializes both frontend and backend projects for full-stack applications in one command.
• 📦 Dependency Management: Choose the dependencies you need for the backend, including popular libraries like Express, Mongoose, and more.

Installation 📦

To get started, you need to install CreateStackx globally on your system.

Install globally:

npm install -g create-stackx

Usage 🧑‍💻

1. Initialize a Frontend Project:

Use this command to create a React project with Vite and Tailwind CSS.

create-stackx init:frontend <projectName>

Example:

create-stackx init:frontend my-frontend-app

2. Initialize a Backend Project:

Use this command to create a Node.js backend with Express and Mongoose. You'll also be able to select the dependencies you want to install.

create-stackx init:backend <projectName>

Example:

create-stackx init:backend my-backend-app

3. Initialize a Full-stack Project:

This command initializes both frontend and backend projects in one go.

create-stackx init <projectName>

Example:

create-stackx init my-fullstack-app

Dependencies 💻

When initializing the backend, you'll have the option to select from the following popular dependencies:

• express: Web framework for Node.js.
• mongoose: MongoDB object modeling for Node.js.
• dotenv: Loads environment variables from .env files.
• cors: Enables Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for your backend.
• bcrypt: Library for password hashing.
• jsonwebtoken: JSON Web Tokens for authentication.
• nodemon: Automatically restarts your server during development.

Commands 📜

| Command | Description | |----------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | init:frontend <projectName> | Initialize a frontend project with React and Vite. | | init:backend <projectName> | Initialize a backend project with Node.js and Express. | | init <projectName> | Initialize a full-stack project (frontend + backend). |

Example Workflow ⚙️

1. Initialize a Full-Stack Project:
