Installation

Global Installation

npm install -g @keshavsoft/kschema-api-gen-actions

---

Using NPX

npx @keshavsoft/kschema-api-gen-actions

---

Quick Start

Assume your current project contains:

end-points.js

Example:

import express from 'express';

const tableName = "journals";

const router = express.Router();

export { router };

---

Generate ShowAll Action

npx kschema-api-gen ShowAll

Generated:

ShowAll/
├── controller.js
├── dal.js
├── route.js
└── validation.js

And updates:

import { getFunc } from "./ShowAll/controller.js";

router.get('/ShowAll', (req, res) =>
    getFunc({
        res,
        inTableName: tableName
    })
);

---

Generate Insert Action

npx kschema-api-gen Insert

Generated:

Insert/
├── controller.js
├── dal.js
├── route.js
└── validation.js

And updates:

import { postFunc } from "./Insert/controller.js";

router.post('/Insert', express.json(), (req, res) =>
    postFunc({
        req,
        res,
        inTableName: tableName
    })
);

---

Final Result Example

project/
├── end-points.js
├── Insert/
│   ├── controller.js
│   ├── dal.js
│   ├── route.js
│   └── validation.js
│
├── ShowAll/
│   ├── controller.js
│   ├── dal.js
│   ├── route.js
│   └── validation.js

---

CLI Usage

npx kschema-api-gen <ActionName>

---

Supported Actions

Action	Method	Description
ShowAll	GET	Fetch all records
Insert	POST	Insert new record

---

Example Workflow

Step 1

Create route container:

import express from 'express';

const tableName = "journals";

const router = express.Router();

export { router };

---

Step 2

Run:

npx kschema-api-gen ShowAll

---

Step 3

Run:

npx kschema-api-gen Insert

---

Step 4

Your routes become:

import express from 'express';

import { postFunc } from "./Insert/controller.js";
import { getFunc } from "./ShowAll/controller.js";

const tableName = "journals";

const router = express.Router();

router.get('/ShowAll', (req, res) =>
    getFunc({
        res,
        inTableName: tableName
    })
);

router.post('/Insert', express.json(), (req, res) =>
    postFunc({
        req,
        res,
        inTableName: tableName
    })
);

export { router };
