msgonest-cli is a command-line tool designed to eliminate boilerplate and repetitive code when generating the essential files for a microservices project. It streamlines the process by automatically creating GRPC proto files, API components (controller, service, and DTO), and Go code for the API gateway, based on a single JSON configuration file provided by the user.
- GRPC Proto Files Gener 8000 ation: Automatically generate GRPC proto files to define service interfaces and message types.
- API Generation: Create API components, including controllers, services, and DTOs, to handle HTTP requests and responses.
- API Gateway Code Generation in Go: Generate Go code for the API gateway to manage and route incoming API requests.
To use msgonest-cli, define a JSON configuration file that specifies the details of the microservice and the desired components. Here is an example JSON configuration file with detailed explanations for each parameter and section:
{
"name": "titok",
"description": "tiktokurls",

- type: The data type of the field (e.g., string, object). Example: "string"
- nullable: Boolean flag to indicate if the field is nullable. Example: true
- source: The source of the field in the request (e.g., query, body). Example: "query"
- isUUID: Boolean flag to indicate if the field should be a UUID. Example: true
- Response Fields
-
fieldsResponse: An array of fields expected in the API response.
- name: The name of the field. Example: "data"
- type: The data type of the field (e.g., string, object). Example: "string"
- nullable: Boolean flag to indicate if the field is nullable. Example: false
- source: The source of the field in the response. Example: "response"
- children: (Optional) An array of child fields if the field is an object.
Create a JSON Configuration File: Define the structure of your microservice and the necessary components using the JSON format described above.
Run msgonest-cli: Execute the command-line tool, passing the JSON configuration file as an argument.
Generate Code: The tool will generate the specified components based on the provided configuration. By using msgonest-cli, developers can significantly reduce the time spent on repetitive coding tasks and focus more on the unique aspects of their microservices projects.
git clone https://github.com/leganux/msgonest-cliAccess to the repository
cd msgonest-cliInstall dependencies
npm ilink up the project to CLI, this create a simlink to execute the code as bash command
npm linknpm install -g msgonest_cliRun config command to save the default project paths
msgonestcli config command request you for absolute paths for root projects of GRPC,API and Gateway. This configuration will be saved as JSON file on
~/.msgonest_cli/config.jsExample config file
{
"base_grpc_folder": "/Users/leganux/Documents/GitHub/grpc/grpc",
"base_API_folder": "/Users/leganux/Documents/GitHub/api",
"base_API_GATEWAY_folder": "/Users/leganux/Documents/GitHub/api-gateway"
}
Generates all code based on json template for GRPC,API and GATEWAY
msgonestcli full -p /absolute/path/of/json/template.jsonGenerates all code based on json template for GRPC
msgonestcli grpc -p /absolute/path/of/json/template.jsonGenerates all code based on json template for GATEWAY
msgonestcli gateway -p /absolute/path/of/json/template.jsonGenerates all code based on json template for API
msgonestcli api -p /absolute/path/of/json/template.jsonGenerates automatically the code for create a new microservice
msgonestcli microservice -n < ms_name > -p < [api,gateway,grpc,full] >By default this command creates a microservice 8000 in full mode for all projects
Whit next functuin you can generate code for GRPC,Gateway and API for a completly CRUD

msgonestcli crud -p api -j /Users/leganux/Documents/GitHub/msgonest-cli/crud.example.json- -p Mandatory (In wih project will be executed [full,api,grpc,gateway])
- -j Mandatory The absolute full path of json definition file from the step behind
Once you have your Json file, Now its time to execute the command
At the end you must to execute your code indentation and review and import dependencias
-
The msgonest-cli covers approximately 95% of the necessary code for a microservices project. However, it is essential to manually validate that the code generation was executed successfully.
-
We are currently working on improving indentation handling. For now, users will need to manually adjust the code formatting after running the CLI to ensure clean and structured code.
