Hey devs! π Iβm excited to announce v2.1.0 of my CLI tool, create-node-spark! This update makes scaffolding Node.js backends even smoother.
β¨ Whatβs New
Database Selection:
You can now choose between:
- None (no DB)
- MongoDB (fully integrated)
Improved Server Boot:
- If you pick MongoDB, your server only starts once the DB connects successfullyβno more silent fails!
Environment Config Overhaul:
- ENV variables now live in a dedicated config/env.config.js file for better project organization.
π‘ Why It Matters:
- β Speeds up your Node.js REST API scaffolding
- β Clean, ready-to-use folder structure
- β Prevents common pitfalls like servers running without DB connections
- β Super simple, minimal dependencies (just Inquirer)
π₯ Quick Start:
npx create-node-spark
π Roadmap:
- More frameworks (Fastify, Hapi)
- More DB options (PostgreSQL, Neon)
- Pre-configured Auth & Middleware add-ons
π Iβd love your feedback & suggestions. Give it a try and let me know what you think! π¬
