Servest is a collection of utilities and integrations designed to enhance your Node.js backend and full-stack projects. It aims to simplify and accelerate the development workflow by providing pre-configured tools, folder structures, and scripts.
This project draws inspiration from shadcn, adapting the concept for backend development.
Backend development often involves repetitive setup tasks like adding custom files (e.g: auth.route, products.controller, ratings.model etc), configuring ESLint, Prettier, Prisma, Drizzle, or MongoDB. Servest removes this overhead by providing a single command to add these utilities to your project, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Whether you're starting a new project or working on an existing one, Servest makes it easy to standardize your setup.
Use the create-servest package to quickly scaffold a new backend project:
npx create-servest@latest my-backend-app -- --template templateName
cd my-backend-appFor available templates visit create-servest#readme
npx servest@latest initOnce your project is ready (or even if you already have an existing project), you can add utilities using servest:
npx servest@latest add <f-fileName>npx servest@latest add <feature>// for example
npx servest@latest add f-auth
// it will create all necessary files according to your template structure (mvc or modular), if the necessary folder does not exist, it will create them as well
npx servest@latest add mongooseAvailable features:
