Egg NestJS API Boilerplate

This npm package allows you to quickly generate a new NestJS API with pre-configured modules and Swagger documentation.

Features

• Automatic Swagger documentation generation
• User login system pre-configured
• Customizable API modules and entity fields
• Integration with Typeorm and MySQL

Installation

To install the package, simply run:

npm install -g egg-nest

This will install the package globally, so you can use it from anywhere on your system.

Creating the JSON construction file

To create the JSON construction file go to the api directory that you want and run:

egg-nest init

This will create a JSON file in your current directory with the basic structure for your API. You can then edit this file to add or remove modules, update entity fields, and customize your API as needed.

Example JSON file

{
    api_name: "example-api",
    modules: [
    {
        name: "Person",
        entity: ["name", "age", "height"],
    },
    {
        name: "Pet",
        entity: ["name", "age", "weight"],
    },
    ],
}

In this example, we have an API with two modules: "Person" and "Pet". The "Person" module has three entity fields: "name", "age", and "height", while the "Pet" module has three entity fields: "name", "age", and "weight".

Generating the API from the JSON file

Once you've finished updating your JSON construction file, save it and run:

egg-nest generate

This will automatically generate your API boilerplate with pre-configured modules and Swagger documentation with the changes you made to the JSON file.
