KickJS Module Generator: 4 Architecture Patterns for Every Backend Need
One of the things I appreciate most about working with a framework is when it meets me where I am. Not every feature I build needs the same level of ceremony. A health check endpoint does not need domain-driven design. A real-time collaboration feature probably does. The KickJS module generator understands this distinction, and it changed how I think about scaffolding backend code. The command is simple: kick g module <name> --pattern <pattern> That --pattern flag is where the magic lives. KickJS ships four architecture patterns: minimal , rest , ddd , and cqrs . Each one generates a different number of files with a different structural philosophy. Instead of forcing you into one way of building modules, the generator lets you pick the right level of complexity for the job at hand. I have been building Vibed, a Jira-like task management backend, with KickJS for several months now. Along the way I have used all four patterns, and I want to walk through what each one gives you and when t
