It comes with pre-built templates, optional CRUD modules, and a modern developer workflow — so you can start coding instead of configuring. --- ## Features - Multiple templates: **Basic API**, **REST API**, and **Socket API** - Clean MVC folder structure - Optional CRUD scaffolding (User or Todo) - Integrated logging (Winston + Morgan) - Security middleware (Helmet, Rate Limiter) - Dynamic CLI with file removal & template customization - Ready for ESM, Redis, and future TypeScript support --- ## Installation ```bash npm install -g neatnode ```` or run directly with: ```bash npx neatnode ``` --- ## Usage ```bash npx neatnode ``` * Enter your **project name** * Choose a **template** (Basic / REST / Socket) * Select whether to include **CRUD** examples * Install dependencies and start your project: ```bash cd my-app npm install npm run dev ``` --- ## Templates ### Basic API Minimal Express setup with optional Todo CRUD. Perfect for small projects or quick prototypes. ### REST API Full architecture with controllers, services, models, routes, error handling, validation, and logging. Ideal for scalable, production-grade APIs. ### Socket API Express + Socket.io integration with logging and CORS setup. Best for chat apps or real-time systems. --- ## Example Project Structure ``` src/ ├── controllers/ ├── models/ ├── routes/ ├── services/ ├── utils/ └── app.js ``` --- ## Built With * Node.js & Express * Inquirer (CLI interaction) * fs-extra & path (file system automation) * Morgan & Winston (logging) * Joi (validation) * Helmet, Rate Limiter (security) --- ## Project Screenshots ### Frontend Website > Official landing page for NeatNode <img src="https://i.postimg.cc/85QVd7pn/Untitled-design.png" alt="NeatNode Landing Page" /> --- ### Documentation Website > Comprehensive docs built with Nextra <img src="https://i.postimg.cc/QNY0vR5r/Untitled-design-1.png" alt="NeatNode Docs" /> --- ## Author **Aakash Gupta** · [GitHub](https://github.com/aakash-gupta02) · [Email](mailto:aakashgupta052004@gmail.com) · [Website](https://neatnode.vercel.app) · [Docs](https://neatnodee-docs.vercel.app) --- ## License MIT © Aakash Gupta
