Node Starter CLI

Node Starter CLI is a tool that helps developers quickly set up a Node.js project with Express, Sequelize, and MySQL. It automatically generates a basic project structure, including an app.js file, routes, controllers, models, and services. This CLI is designed to make the process of creating new modules and linking them with routing efficient and easy.

Features

• Quick Project Initialization: Sets up a Node.js project with Express and Sequelize.
• Pre-configured with MySQL: Sequelize is set up with MySQL for database interaction.
• Auto-generated File Structure: Creates controller, model, service, and route files for a default example module.
• Module Creation: Allows users to generate new modules with just one command.
• Routing Setup: Automatically links new modules in app.route.js for easy routing.

Installation

You can install Node Starter CLI globally using npm:

npm install -g ness-m

Usage

1. Initialize a new Node.js project

After installing the CLI, navigate to the directory where you want to create a new project and run:

ness-m init

This will:

• Create a basic project structure.
• Set up an app.js file that runs on port 3000.
• Initialize Sequelize and create a connection to MySQL.
• Generate an example module with a model, controller, service, and route.

2. Add a new module

To add a new module to the project, run:

ness-m module-new <module-name>

Replace <module-name> with the name of the module you want to create. This command will:

• Create a new module folder with a controller, service, and model.
• Add the module’s route reference to the app.route.js file.

Example

# Initialize a new Node.js project
ness-m init

# Create a new module called 'products'
ness-m module-new products

Generated File Structure

After initializing a project and creating a module, the file structure will look like this:

project-root/
│
├── app.js
├── app.route.js
├── example/
│   ├── example.controller.js
│   ├── example.model.js
│   ├── example.route.js
│   └── example.service.js
├── products/
│   ├── products.controller.js
│   ├── products.model.js
│   ├── products.route.js
│   └── products.service.js
└── config/
    └── database.js
