Next-Gen Boilerplate Generator

This utility facilitates the setup process for a NextJS application incorporating the T3 stack (trpc, nextjs, tailwind, prisma) by generating boilerplate code on-the-fly.

Features:

• Create controller files.
• Formulate schema files for Prisma.
• Craft zod validation schemas.
• Design forms with tailwind styling.
• Start with a configuration file for your application.

Installation

Before you begin, ensure you've initiated your NextJS project. Then, bring this utility onboard:

npm install -g next-gen

Usage

Initialization

Before diving into component generation, initialize your project:

next-gen init

Executing this will yield a configuration file (next-gen.json) in your project's root. This config file allows you to set paths to your own templates and where each resource should be generated.

Crafting Components

To birth new components, the go-to command is generate:

next-gen generate <type> <name> [options]

Parameters:

• <type>: Denotes the kind of component you aim to produce. Valid entries include:

  • controller
  • schema
  • zodSchemas
  • form
  • scaffold (Generates controller, schema, zodSchemas, and form all in one go!)

• <name>: The christening name for the component.

Options:

• -a, --attributes <attributes>: Specifies a list of component attributes in the name:type format. This is particularly beneficial when molding schemas. Ensure attributes are comma-separated.

  Example: --attributes name:string,age:number,email:string

Currently the following types are supported:

• string
• number
• boolean
• date
• json
• text
• float
• double
• enums
• references

Examples:

1. For a 'User' controller generation:

next-gen generate controller User

2. For a 'Post' schema birth with respective attributes:

next-gen generate schema Post --attributes title:string,body:string

3. Generating all the fundamental components (scaffold) for a 'Product':

next-gen generate scaffold Product --attributes name:string,price:number

Roadmap

• Add more types
• Generate New page
• Generate Edit page
• Generate Index page
• Generate Show page
• Automatically add router to routes file
• Form component should be created with necessary inputs
• Allow setting custom inputs for each attribute type
• Generate controller tests
• Generate component test
