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.
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
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.
Once initialized, you can start your project using nodemon for automatic server restarts:
npm startThis command will start the server defined in src/index.js and restart it whenever changes are made.
The generated project will have the following structure:
<project-name>/
├── src/
│ ├── Controllers/
│ ├── Middlewares/
│ ├── Models/
│ ├── Routes/
│ └── index.js
├── .env
└── package.jsonexpress: Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.
