v1.0.0 — Initial Release of TryAppStack CLI

Introducing TryAppStack CLI

TryAppStack is a developer-friendly CLI tool designed to help engineers quickly bootstrap scalable backend and frontend application stacks with production-ready architecture.

This first release focuses on generating structured Node.js backend projects with MongoDB and modular architecture, helping developers avoid repetitive setup and start building features immediately.

Key Features

• Interactive CLI experience
• Production-ready Node.js + MongoDB project generator
• Clean folder structure (Controllers, Services, Routes, Middleware)
• Built-in utilities and helper functions
• Environment configuration generator
• Modular architecture for scalable projects
• Pre-configured logging and error handling
• Template-based project scaffolding
• Easy extension with additional commands

Available Commands

Initialize a new project

tas init

Add components quickly

tas add controller
tas add service
tas add router
tas add middleware
tas add model
tas add module
tas add utils
tas add templates

Environment setup

tas env

Goal of TryAppStack

The goal of this project is to reduce boilerplate setup time and help developers focus on building real features rather than repeating the same project structure for every application.

Future releases will introduce additional stacks including:

• Node.js + TypeScript
• TypeORM + PostgreSQL
• TypeORM + MySQL
• React application templates
• Electron application templates
