An interactive CLI generator that scaffolds production-ready TypeScript Express REST API projects with a configurable stack. It offers 10+ templates covering databases, ORMs, testing, linting, and Docker/NGINX/PM2 deployment configurations.

Use cases

• scaffold a TypeScript Express REST API project
• generate an Express boilerplate with TypeORM or Prisma
• set up a Node.js API with Jest, ESLint, and Docker preconfigured
• quickly start a Mongoose or Sequelize Express backend
• create a production-ready Express API template with Swagger docs
• bootstrap a TypeScript backend with hot reload and PM2 deployment

When to choose

• you want a ready-made, opinionated TypeScript Express starter in minutes
• you need to compare or pick among multiple ORM/database setups
• you want Docker, NGINX, and PM2 configs included out of the box

When to avoid

• you use a framework other than Express or a language other than TypeScript
• you need a minimal starter without generated boilerplate
• you already have an established project structure and toolchain
