NEXRA

Simple MERN CRUD generator for students, exams, and freelancers. Generates flat, readable React + Express + MongoDB projects.

Install

npm install -g nexra-cli
# or
npx nexra-cli

Requires Node.js 18+.

Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | nexra | Create a new project (interactive) | | nexra init | Same as above | | nexra g | Wizard: add a CRUD module | | nexra g product | Regenerate from .nexra/schemas/product.json | | nexra finalize | Remove generator artifacts; leave a clean app |

Quick start

nexra
cd my-app
cd backend && npm install && cd ../frontend && npm install
# Terminal 1
cd backend && npm run dev
# Terminal 2
cd frontend && npm run dev

Inside your project:

nexra g          # add modules (employee, product, etc.)
nexra finalize   # when done — removes .nexra/ and marker comments

What you get

• Auto-generated README at project root, frontend/README.md, and docs/API.md + docs/MODULES.md (updated on init, generate, and finalize)
• Flat structure: backend/src/{model,controller,routes} and frontend/src/{api,components,pages}
• Zod + react-hook-form on the frontend; validation in controllers on the backend
• Optional: layouts, reports, belongsTo relations, dashboard cards, sample seed data
• JWT auth starter, toasts, mobile sidebar, API error UI

Philosophy

NEXRA is not an enterprise framework. No services layer, no repositories, no AST magic — just understandable CRUD code you can explain in an exam.
