nestjs-crud-schematics

This is an opinionated NestJS schematics for generating Mongoose and TypeORM entities, DTOs, controllers, services, and repositories.

👾 These are the main differences between this generator and others:

• It only relies on offical and well-known packages
• It also generates the fields/properties for the entity

Usage

# Install the schematics
npm i --save-dev nestjs-crud-schematics

# Generate a new resource (controller + service + repository)
nest g -c nestjs-crud-schematics resource

Features

• Supports Mongoose or TypeORM (with Postgres)
• Installs all required NPM packages and NestJS modules
• Generates a controller, injecting a service
• Generates a service, injecting a repository
• Generates a custom repository serializing Mongoose documents into entities
• Generates the entity with either Mongoose or TypeORM decorators
• Generates DTOs with basic validators
• Generates Swagger documentation
• Generates unit tests with automock and full coverage

# Create new example application inside the current directory
