create-koa-web

The scaffolding of building Node Service with Koa2 + TypeScript.

The presets template are:

Template	Feature
Mini	Exception, Validator, API Doc
Lite	Mini + Database
Standard	Lite + Auth, Log
Full	Standard + Redis, Cache, Test-Unit
Generator	generate app module code and database table

Scaffolding Your First koa-web Project

Compatibility Note: koa-web requires Node.js version 14.18+, 16+.. However, some templates require a higher Node.js version to work, please upgrade if your package manager warns about it.

With NPM:

$ npm create koa-web@latest

With Yarn:

$ yarn create koa-web

With PNPM:

$ pnpm create koa-web

Then follow the prompts!

You can also directly specify the project name. For example, to scaffold a koa-web project, run:

# npm 6.x
npm create koa-web@latest koa-web-starter --template standard

# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm create koa-web@latest koa-web-starter -- --template standard

# yarn
yarn create koa-web koa-web-starter --template standard

# pnpm
pnpm create koa-web koa-web-starter --template standard

Usage

Here are the default main npm scripts in a scaffolded koa-web-starter project:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon", // start dev serve
    "build": "tsc && tsc-alias", // build project
    "serve": "node dist/app.js" // start build serve
  }
}

$ cd koa-web-starter

$ npm install

$ npm run dev

# please open in: http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/doc.html

Generator

koa-web-generator can quickly generate koa-web's app module code and database table.

Generate content: model, service, API, and DTO files.

Automatically generate database tables is turned off by default.

1. pull project & install deps

   pnpm create koa-web koa-web-generator --template generator
   
   cd ./koa-web-generator
   
   pnpm install

2. Add the models you want to generate in ./src/index.ts

   Every model is already contains id, created_at, updated_at, deleted_at.

   const models: ModelProps[] = [
     {
       name: 'user_alpha',
       comment: 'user comment',
       fields: [
         {
           fieldName: 'username',
           type: 'STRING(20)',
           allowNull: false,
           unique: 'username_idx',
         },
         {
           fieldName: 'password',
           type: 'STRING',
           allowNull: false,
           comment: 'password comment',
         },
         {
           fieldName: 'type',
           type: 'BOOLEAN',
           defaultValue: '0',
         },
       ],
     },
   ]

3. start generate

   pnpm start

After generation is complete, you can get such as files in ./src(model | service | api | dto) You can copy these files into your koa-web project.

Don't forget, the file ./src/model/index/ts also has generated content.
