A simple Node.js CLI Application for initialising a new NPM project.
The purpose of developing this application is to ease up my process of starting a new NPM project and creating a skeleton of MCR (Model, Controllers and Routes) Structure in which I organise my code.
You can install this npm package by running
npm i -g mcr-cli-app
Note: You must install this module globally. I have not tested this as being installed as a project dependency and I am not responsible if you mess up your project or your system catches on fire or worse.
You can use this package in any directory. Just run the following command
mcr-init
and it will create a following structure for you
+-- package.json
+-- package-lock.json
+-- node_modules
| +-- module1 ...
| +-- module2 ...
+-- src
| +-- index.js
| +-- models
| | +-- index.js
| +-- controllers
| | +-- index.js
| +-- routes
| | +-- index.js
The mcr-init command internally runs npm init -y on your behalf and skips the initial steps of setting up a node.js app which you might usually see on running the npm init command.
YOU MUST ENTER STUFF IN PACKAGE.JSON YOURSELVES
I personally use 2 development dependencies a lot:
These will be installed when you run mcr-init command. If you do not wish to use these dependencies, you can uninstall them later.
