WavyThreads CLI

WavyThreads CLI is a command-line tool designed by Mohamad Zubi to quickly scaffold and initialize backend projects with user authentication using Node.js, Express, MongoDB, bcrypt for password hashing, and JWT for authentication tokens.

Installation

To use WavyThreads CLI, you need Node.js (which includes npm) installed on your machine. You can install the CLI globally using npm:

npm install -g wavythreads-cli

Usage

Initialize a New Project

To create a new project with WavyThreads CLI, run the following command:

wavythreads-cli init <project-name>

This command will set up a new project with the following structure:

- src/Controllers: Controllers for handling business logic.
- src/Middlewares: Middleware functions for request handling.
- src/Models: MongoDB models for data schema.
- src/Routes: Express routes for API endpoints.
- src/index.js: Main application entry point.
- .env: Environment configuration file with MongoDB connection URI, port, and JWT secret.

The project will also include the necessary dependencies in package.json and install them automatically using npm.

Start the Project

Once initialized, you can start your project using nodemon for automatic server restarts:

npm start

This command will start the server defined in src/index.js and restart it whenever changes are made.

Project Structure

The generated project will have the following structure:

<project-name>/
├── src/
│   ├── Controllers/
│   ├── Middlewares/
│   ├── Models/
│   ├── Routes/
│   └── index.js
├── .env
└── package.json
