Backend APIs Generator

This project is on improvement and contributions are all welcome! :)

This is a tool for generating a simple file of backend APIs. The project is constructed as follow:

|_ index.js                 // main
|_ BackendTemplates.js      // storing templates of different programming laguages, framework and syntax
|_ generator.js             // for generating code from template
|_ result
|____ server.js             // result of NodeJS ExpressJS from the generator
|____ server.py             // result of Python Flask from the generator
|____ RestAPIs.java         // result of REST file in Java Spring JAX-RS from the generator

Installation

$git clone https://github.com/AimeTPGM/BackendAPIsGenerator.git

$node index.js

the app will be running on localhost:3000

Usage

you can use Postman - Google Chrome Extension for sending http POST request to the server

or

you can develop your own client-side for sending http POST request to the server

the generator is available on http://localhost:3000/gen/

with JSON request body as following format

"programmingLanguage" : "NodeJSExpressJS",    // selected programming language and framework (see the available options below)

"keywords" : [
    {
        "keyword" : "get",
        "param" : "user"
    },
    {
        "keyword" : "post",
        "param" : "user/new"
    },
    {
        "keyword" : "listen",
        "param" : "3000"
    }
]

available programming language and framework

• NodeJSExpressJS => for generating NodeJS ExpressJS backend

• PythonFlask => for generating Python Flask backend

• JavaSpringJAXRS => for generating a file that provides RESTful APIs in JAVA Spring Framework (this is a java file that can be used in created JAX-RS project like this one (You can check it in HelloWorldJavaMicroService/src/main/java/main/rest/)

To use the generated Backend files

After the generating, files in result can be use as a part in a particular project, for example;

if you would like to make a NodeJS ExpressJS server from the generated file

$mkdir MyServer
$cp ~/path/to/BackendAPIsGenerator ~/path/to/MyServer
$cd ~/path/to/MyServer
$npm init

then it will lead you to build package.json file. After that use the following commands:

$npm install nodejs --save
$npm install express --save
$npm install body-parser --save

then you can run the server by using:

$node server.js

it will display App listening on port 3000! then you can go through server.js file for editing the backend server as you want!

for others example, I'll add it soon :)

Enjoy Hacking!
