Express constructor

With express-constructor you can build faster any kind of API. You only need to specify the routes an that's it, we help you to generate the built in code that you need.

Installation

npm i express-constructor

How to use?

1. Create a routes.json file specifying all your routes needed, like in the following example:

  {
    "appName": {
      "root": "/",
      "routes": [
        {
          "method": "path"
        }
      ]
    }
  }

2. Run the following command from the root folder.

constructor --port=customOptionalPort

3. Start coding!

Routes samples

Imagine you need an api where you'll be handling users session, and also, product prices. You may need something like this:

  {
    "users": {
      "root": "users/",
      "routes": [
        {
          "post": "login/"
        },
        {
          "post": "logout/"
        }
      ]
    },
    "products": {
      "root": "products/",
      "routes": [
        {
          "get": "get_all/"
        },
        {
          "post": "update/:productId"
        }
      ]
    }
  }

With that, express-constructor will build something like:

yourFolder
│   package.json
│   index.js
│   .gitignore
└───src
  │ │
  │ └───products
  │     │  index.js
  │     │  routes.js
  │
  └─────users
        │  index.js
        │  routes.js

And that structure will have the following urls

  /users/login
  /users/logout
  ...
  /products/get_all/
  /products/:productId/
