Server-Seed

A simple CLI tool for setting up a backend environment with Express and MongoDB.

📌 Features

✅ Interactive CLI for backend project setup
✅ Options for Basic, Extended, and Full installation

📦 Installation

1️⃣ Run Without Installing (Recommended)

npx server-seed

2️⃣ Install Globally

npm install -g server-seed

Then, run:

server-seed

🚀 Usage Once you run the command, you'll see a prompt like this:

? Choose one installation from below (Use arrow keys)
❯ basic (express server & .env)
  extended (basic + mongoDB + directories)
  full (full (extended + dummy data + cors, bcrypt, jwt))

📜 Installation Options

Basic = Express server, .env setup
Extended = Express server, MongoDB, Routers, Controllers (empty directories) Full = Express server, MongoDB, directories with dummy data, cors, bcrypt, jsonwebtoken

After selecting an option, the script will automatically create the necessary files and folders. 🎉

🔧 How It Works

• Generates boilerplate Express server and MongoDB connection
• Runs on all major OS (Windows/Linux/macOS)
