Express-CMD

CLI tool to Generate Boilerplate Code for Initialization of Servers, Creating Routes and Creating Controllers

It is tiresome to write same lines of Code to initialize server, create routes and creating controllers for Express based applications.

Specially if the application is very Large, and there are alot of routes to create, this gives unnecessary headache while development. This only is route creation. Creating controllers for these routes is even more tiresome.

Express-cmd package removes this headache by allowing you to generate these files on the fly with some simple commands.

Note: This Package Officially replaces Express-Cr Package.
