# Node Project Gen ⚡
> **Lightning-fast Node.js backend scaffolding CLI built in Rust.**
Node Project Gen allows you to generate production-ready, scalable, and secure Node.js backends in seconds. It bridges the gap between simple boilerplate and complex enterprise frameworks by providing opinionated architectural patterns and modern best practices out of the box.

## 🛠 Usage
### Create a New Project
The `create` command is the main entry point for scaffolding.
```bash
# Basic project
acrocoder create my-api
# Custom project with specific stack
acrocoder create my-api \
--arch clean \
--framework express \
--db postgres \
--auth jwt \
--test vitest
```
**Options:**
- `--arch`: `clean`, `mvc`, `modular`, `hexagonal`, `microservice`
- `--framework`: `express`, `fastify`, `nest`
- `--db`: `postgres`, `mongodb`, `mysql`, `sqlite`
- `--auth`: `jwt`, `session`, `oauth`, `firebase`
- `--test`: `jest`, `vitest`
- `--validation`: `zod`, `joi`
- `--logger`: `winston`, `pino`
- `--skip-install`: Skip automatic `npm install`
- `--git`: Initialize git repository (default: true)
### Generate Modules
Generate new resources or components in an existing project.
```bash
# Generate a full CRUD module
acrocoder generate module users --crud
# Generate middleware
acrocoder generate middleware auth
```
### Add Features
Easily add complex configurations to an existing project.
```bash
acrocoder add docker
acrocoder add swagger
acrocoder add cicd
acrocoder add websocket
```

## 📂 Architecture Overview
Acrocoder supports multiple patterns. For example, the **Clean Architecture** layout:
```text
src/
├── domain/ # Entities & Business Rules
├── application/ # Use Cases & Services
├── infrastructure/ # DB, Repositories, External Services
├── presentation/ # Controllers, Routes, Validators
└── core/ # Shared interfaces & global errors
```
While the **Modular** layout organizes by domain:
```text
src/
├── modules/
│ ├── auth/ # Controllers, Services, Routes for Auth
│ ├── user/ # Controllers, Services, Routes for User
│ └── health/ # Health check module
├── shared/ # Shared utils & middleware
└── core/ # Core configs
```
