🚀 rapid-express - Express App Generator CLI 🚀

Are you tired of writing the same code in every project? Don't worry, I've got you covered.

Introduction

Welcome to rapid-express, your go-to tool for rapidly generating Express.js applications with ease. rapid-express simplifies the process of setting up a new Express.js project by providing a command-line interface that automates the creation of a boilerplate Express.js application with a predefined folder structure, middleware setup, error handling, and database configuration.

Installation

Run npm i @mohammad-abbass/rapid-express to install.

Usage

First navigate to the directory that you want to build the project in.

run the following command:

npx @mohammad-abbass/rapid-express your-project-name

Replace your-project-name with the name of your new Express.js project. rapid-express will create a new folder with the specified project name and generate the boilerplate Express.js application inside it.

After that you will be prompted to enter your MONGO_URI to set up connection to database, paste it and press enter.
