Usage

Run ExpressLaunch directly with:

ExpressLaunch will create a backend folder in your current project.

Generated Structure

backend/
├── controllers/
├── db/
├── middlewares/
├── models/
├── routes/
├── .env
└── server.js

Getting Started

After generating the backend:

cd backend
npm install

Configure your .env file as required.

Start the development server:

npm run dev

Start the server normally:

npm start

Why ExpressLaunch?

Setting up the same Express backend structure for every project can be repetitive.

ExpressLaunch provides a reusable starting point so you can focus on building your API instead of repeating the initial setup.
