JUST provide the tool with your architecture and database information and It will build your app for you in no time.
- Your crud app will look like this.
- Prerequisite:
- nodejs -> https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
- npm -> usually It gets installed with nodejs if not google it GEEK :"D (It's a peace of cake don't worry ! ^).
- Install the tool
sudo npm install supercrudgen -g
- After installing just write
- It will run on port 7070
- Go to the browser and open it
localhost:7070
- From here It's very intuitive just use the UI
It generates a nodejs(express) application that uses either mysql or mongoDB as a database.
- Details for mongoDB:
- It creates models,routes,views,static directories inside your application directory.
- Inside models It creates a model.js file for every collection that contains mongoose schema and exports mongoose model.
- models/modelName.js
- Inside routes It creates a routes file that contains all the routes for the models
- routes/modelName.js (contains CRUD routes).
- Inside views It creates 2 views for every model.
- views/modelNames.ejs (view for all the documents in a collection).
- views/modelName.ejs (view for a specific document in a collection).
- Inside static It creates 2 files
- static/frontendlib.js (which is responsiple mainly for the ajax requests and other js stuff in the views).
- static/style.css (which contains the style of the views).
- Details for mysql:
- It generates a directory for your application.
- It creates routes,views,static directories inside the main dir.
- It creates a route file that contains all the routes
- routes/tableName.js (contains CRUD routes).
- Inside views directory It creates a views files
- views/tableNames.ejs (view for all the rows in the table).
- views/tableName.ejs (view for a specific row in the table).
- Inside static It creates 2 files
- static/frontendlib.js (which is responsiple mainly for the ajax requests and other js stuff in the views).
- static/style.css (which contains the style of the views).
- Inside the main directory It creates app.js file which is already connected to the routes which the tool created lately.
- Inside the main directory It creates db.js file which handles the mysql database connection for you.
- Inside the main directory It creates package.json file with all the packages that you need to launch your app.
- In case of using mysql option after creating your app make sure to install the dependencies..Just write inside the directory of the project on the terminal
npm install
to install the packages (express,mysql,ejs) and run your app after this. - It's only mysql that creates the full app in this version,the mongoose option only creates the (routes,models,views) without app.js,package.json files so you'll have to write them on your own (It's very easy ^).
