Usage

Import package

const apiWriter = require('api-writer');

Define your schema

const modules = [
  {
    name: 'User',
    properties: ['id', 'name', 'email'],
    additionalApis: [
      { method: 'POST', controllerFunction: 'createUser' },
      { method: 'DELETE', controllerFunction: 'deleteUserById' }
    ]
  },
  {
    name: 'Post',
    properties: ['id', 'title', 'content'],
    additionalApis: [
      { method: 'PUT', controllerFunction: 'updatePostTitle' }
    ]
  }
];

Generate project

const projectName = 'projectAlpha';
apiWriter(projectName, modules);
