Goal and Philosophy
generaptr-cli
strives to be an easy and useful command line tool for generating boilerplate api for a given database structure.
generaptr-cli
should ease the process of:
- starting a new backend project
- writing boilerplate crud operations
- writing api specs
Documentation
Minimum Requirements
The package was developed under node 7.5
so a minimum requirement would be:
node >= v7.5.0
npm >= v3.10.10
Installation
npm install generaptr-cli
Examples
When starting generaptr-cli the screen displayed below will appear.
Here, the two possible actions are shown, actions which will decide on which flow will the execution continue:
Generate Raml spec flow
Required information for generating the raml api spec is presented in the next screen.
In the screenshot we can see the logs from a successful api spec generation.
Folder structure for a generated api spec.
Generate Api flow
While generating the api boilerplate a few things are required, things which will be made clear in the next screenshots.
In the screenshot above the user is prompted to choose the input source, right now we support a database connection or a valid raml spec (works best with raml spec's generated by generaptr-cli).
In the screenshot above presents the database output choice, currently we only support MySql but more will come in the future.
In the last two screenshots we can see the logs from a successful api generation.
Following the same steps but with a different input source renders the same result.
