Project: Node.js Project Generator

This project provides a streamlined way to generate new Node.js projects with predefined folder structures, models, and helper files. It includes all essential configurations, such as .env files and utility helpers, to kickstart your development process efficiently.

Features

• Automatically creates a new project with the required folder structure.
• Dynamically generates models and schemas based on user input.
• Includes pre-configured .env and config files.
• Simple API endpoint to create new projects using Postman.

Getting Started

Step 1: Run the Project

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Start the project:

   npm start

Step 2: Generate a New Project

1. Open Postman.
2. Use the following endpoint to generate a new project:
   • Endpoint: POST /generate-project
   • Headers: Content-Type: application/json
   • Payload:

     {
         "projectTitle": "USER-LRF-CRUD",
         "models": {
             "name": "User",
             "schema": {
                 "otp": {
                     "type": "String",
                     "required": true
                 }
             }
         }
     }

3. Send the request. The project will be generated based on the provided details.

Example Folder Structure

A generated project will include the following structure:

PROJECT_NAME/

├── config/
│   └── key.js        # Database connection setup
│   └── constants.js        # Database connection setup
├── helpers/
│   └── helper.js               # Utility functions for the project
│   └── dateFormat.helper.js    # Utility functions for the project
│   └── loggerService.js        # Utility functions for the project
│   └── response.helper.js      # Utility functions for the project
├── models/
│   └── User.js            # User schema based on input
├── .env                   # Environment variables file
├── package.json           # Project metadata and dependencies
├── server.js              # Main server file
└── README.md              # Project documentation

Payload Explanation

When generating a project, you need to pass the following payload:

{
    "projectTitle": "USER-LRF-CRUD",
    "models": {
        "name": "User",
        "schema": {
            "otp": {
                "type": "String",
                "required": true
            }
        }
    }
}

• projectTitle: The title of the project (e.g., USER-LRF-CRUD).
• models:
  • name: The name of the model (e.g., User).
  • schema: The schema definition for the model, specifying fields and their properties.

Notes

• Ensure that all required fields are included in the payload.
• After project generation, you can customize the folder structure and files as needed.
• Update the .env file with the appropriate configurations for your environment.
