Mern-forge-cli-tool NPM

MERN Forge

MERN Forge is a powerful tool for quickly generating MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack projects with ease. It provides a command-line interface (CLI) to initialize your MERN project and generate code based on your requirements.

Getting Started

To use MERN Forge, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Installation

Make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine. Then, open your terminal and run the following command to install MERN Forge globally:

npm install mern-forge-cli-tool -g

Step 2: Initializing Your Project

To start a new MERN project, navigate to your project directory in the terminal and run the following command:

npx mern-forge init

This command will generate a configuration file named mern-forge.config.js in your project directory. Open this file and customize the configuration according to your project requirements.

Step 3: Generating Code

Once you have initialized your project and customized the configuration file, you can generate the code for your MERN application. Run the following command in your project directory:

npx mern-forge generate

This command will prompt you to select an option for generating the code:

React - CRA: Generates a React application using CRA.
React - Vite: Generates a React application using Vite.

Choose the desired option and MERN Forge will generate the corresponding application along with the backend code.

That's it! You have successfully initialized your MERN project and generated the code using MERN Forge.

Additional Information

Make sure to run the init command first to create the configuration file before running the generate command.
You can modify the configuration file (mern-forge.config.js) to add or remove features, customize database settings, and more.
The generated code will be placed in the appropriate project structure based on the selected options.
