MCR Cli app

A simple Node.js CLI Application for initialising a new NPM project.

Description

The purpose of developing this application is to ease up my process of starting a new NPM project and creating a skeleton of MCR (Model, Controllers and Routes) Structure in which I organise my code.

Installation

You can install this npm package by running

npm i -g mcr-cli-app

Note: You must install this module globally. I have not tested this as being installed as a project dependency and I am not responsible if you mess up your project or your system catches on fire or worse.

Usage

You can use this package in any directory. Just run the following command

mcr-init

and it will create a following structure for you

+-- package.json
+-- package-lock.json
+-- node_modules
|   +-- module1 ...
|   +-- module2 ...
+-- src
|   +-- index.js
|   +-- models
|   |   +-- index.js
|   +-- controllers
|   |   +-- index.js
|   +-- routes
|   |   +-- index.js

The mcr-init command internally runs npm init -y on your behalf and skips the initial steps of setting up a node.js app which you might usually see on running the npm init command.

YOU MUST ENTER STUFF IN PACKAGE.JSON YOURSELVES

Dependencies

I personally use 2 development dependencies a lot:

• editorconfig
• eslint

These will be installed when you run mcr-init command. If you do not wish to use these dependencies, you can uninstall them later.
