I got tired of configuring tsconfig and Docker every time I start a Node project, so I built my own CLI
Every time I start a new Node.js backend project I end up configuring the same things again and again: TypeScript, folder structure, database setup, Docker, error handling, scripts... So I decided to build a small CLI to automate that process. It's called create-backend-api and it scaffolds a production-ready Node.js backend using DDD and Clean Architecture. I already did 3 templates at this momment, with the stacks that i use the most: Express or Fastify TypeORM PostgreSQL The CLI generates a clean project structure with base entities, repositories, controllers and centralized error handling. Right now it only has 3 templates but I'm planning to add more soon. You can test it with: npx create-backend-api create GitHub: https://github.com/HSThzz Npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-backend-api I'd really appreciate feedback from other Node developers.
