@lechaterrant/lantern v1.1.2

Lantern

Backend development can be hard, long, and dark. Even more to produce modern, robust, production-ready APIs

Say hello to Lantern, your guide through the *backend abyss*

Lantern is currently under heavy development, so new features will be release soon ❤️

Don't hesitate to share your improvements or to give feedback on Discord (LeChatErrant#6074) :wink:

What is it ?

Lantern is an opinionated CLI to assist backend development

It aims to make backend development fast and easy, and focuses on generating maintainable code

V1 demo, will be updated soon ! And trust me, V2 is nothing like V1 ❤️

A lantern project follows a lot of good practices while staying entirely modifiable by developers

In summary, it simply gives you a guideline by writing boilerplate code

An example lantern project, serving as guidelines reference, can be found at API-template

Getting started

1. Install the CLI with npm install -g @lechaterrant/lantern
2. Simply run lantern to launch the CLI

Documentation

Documentation is currently being written and should be available soon. At this moment, simply refers to API-template wiki page
