express-pro-structure

📦 express-pro-structure is a powerful CLI tool that instantly generates a professional Express.js project with a pre-configured folder structure, npm setup, dependencies, and scripts — all in one command.

🚀 Quick Start

Run the following command to create a new Express.js project:

npx express-pro-structure

You’ll be prompted to:

• Enter your project name
• Choose whether to customize npm init
• Select your preferred module system (CommonJS or ES Module)

The CLI will:

• Copy a complete Express.js folder structure

npm run dev

Your Express server will be up and running! ⚡
