The create-express-boilerplate CLI tool offers a streamlined method for generating a new Express.js application, providing options for both a basic setup and a more structured MVC (Model-View-Controller) layout. This simplifies the initial setup process for your development projects.
Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine before starting. This tool requires Node.js version 12.x or higher.
You don't need to install this CLI tool globally, thanks to npx
. Simply run the following command:
npx create-express-boilerplate <project-name> [--mvc]
Replace <project-name>
with the name of your new project. The optional --mvc
or --mongodb
flag, if included, adds an MVC folder structure to your project. And when the mongodb flag is used the app is created with a mongodb database connection.
To generate a basic Express.js project:
npx create-express-boilerplate my-express-app
For an Express.js project with an MVC structure:
npx create-express-boilerplate my-express-app --mvc
For an Express.js project with an MVC structure and mongodb databse:
npx create-express-boilerplate my-express-app --mongodb
Depending on the options selected, the tool generates the following structure:
Basic Project:
app.js
: The entry point for your Express application.MVC Project:
app.js
: Application entry point.routes/
: Contains route handlers.controllers/
: Contains business logic.models/
