CLI Usage

The nodebuilder-xd CLI helps you quickly scaffold ready-to-run Node.js projects — interactively and without configuration.

Run the CLI (Interactive Mode)

Execute the command below in your terminal:

npx nodebuilder-xd

You’ll be prompted to choose:

• Project name (e.g., my-app)
• Template type — Basic, REST API, or Socket.io
• Include CRUD? — Whether to add default CRUD examples

Example Session

? Enter project name › my-app
? Choose a template › REST API
? Include CRUD example? › No

Once confirmed, the CLI scaffolds your project:

✅ Created project: ./my-app
💡 Next steps:
   cd my-app
   npm install
   npm run dev

Notes

You can run nodebuilder-xd without installing globally — npx always fetches the latest version from npm.

If you prefer global usage:

npm install -g nodebuilder-xd
nodebuilder-xd
