The official CLI tool for the RustAPI framework.

Use this tool to scaffold new projects, generate code, and fast-track your development workflow.

📦 Installation

🛠️ Usage

Creating a New Project

Use the new command to generate a project structure.

# Interactive mode (Recommended)
cargo rustapi new my-app

# Quick start with specific template
cargo rustapi new my-app --template api

Available Templates:

• minimal: Basic main.rs and Cargo.toml.
• api: REST API structure with separated handlers and models.
• web: Web application with HTML templates (rustapi-view).
• full: Complete example with Database, Auth, and Docker support.

Running Development Server

Run your application with hot-reloading (requires cargo-watch).

cargo rustapi run

Code Generation

Save time by generating boilerplate.

# Generate a handler function and register it
cargo rustapi generate handler users

# Generate a database model
cargo rustapi generate model User

# Generate a full CRUD resource (Model + Handlers + Tests)
cargo rustapi generate crud product
