🚀 I Just Published a CLI Tool That Builds Full Express APIs in Seconds
If you're tired of setting up the same Express.js project structure over and over again — folder setup, database config, JWT auth, logging, Docker, etc. — this is for you.
I built a CLI tool that scaffolds a production-ready Express API with just one command.
🧰 What it does:
✅ Choose TypeScript or JavaScript
✅ Includes TypeORM + PostgreSQL config
✅ JWT authentication boilerplate
✅ .env-based configs
✅ Centralized error handling
✅ Pre-configured logging (Winston)
✅ Optional Docker + Jenkinsfile + PM2 setup
✅ Works with npm, pnpm, and yarn
⚡ Get Started
npx create-express-api-cli-with-docker my-api --ts
Or use the JS version:
npx create-express-api-cli-with-docker my-api --js
You can also scaffold with Docker & Jenkins setup included:
npx create-express-api-cli-with-docker my-api --ts --docker

💬 Would Love Your Feedback
This is just version 1.0 — MongoDB support, Swagger docs, and more coming soon.
If this helps you in any way:
Drop a ⭐ on GitHub
Share it with someone who builds APIs
Or reach out — I’m always open to connect and collaborate
Let’s build faster and better together.
