🚀 express-mvc-generator

A MVC generator for Node.js & Express that helps you quickly scaffold projects with a clean MVC folder structure.
It also provides handy artisan-like commands to generate controllers, models, and routes — saving you hours of boilerplate setup.

📦 Installation

npm install -g express-mvc-generator

Or run directly without installing globally:

npx express-mvc-generator

⚡ Usage

1. Create a New Project

express-mvc-generator new myApp
cd myApp
node server.js

This will generate a project structure like:

myApp/
 ┣ controllers/
 ┃ ┗ homeController.js
 ┣ models/
 ┣ routes/
 ┃ ┗ homeRoute.js
 ┣ middlewares/
 ┣ config/
 ┣ server.js

2. Generate a Controller

express-mvc-generator make:controller User

Creates:

// controllers/UserController.js
exports.getUser = (req, res) => {
  res.json({ message: "Hello from User Controller" });
};

3. Generate a Model

express-mvc-generator make:model User

Creates:

// models/User.js
class User {
  constructor() {
    this.id = null;
  }
}

module.exports = User;

4. Generate a Route

express-mvc-generator make:route user

Creates:

// routes/userRoute.js
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const controller = require("../controllers/UserController");

router.get("/", controller.getUser);

module.exports = router;

🛠 Example Run

express-mvc-generator new blogApp
cd blogApp
express-mvc-generator make:controller Post
express-mvc-generator make:model Post
express-mvc-generator make:route post
node server.js

Now open 👉 http://localhost:3000
You’ll see your generated route in action 🎉
