Code generation

Dreamer has a powerful code generation tool that automates the creation of complete CRUD operations from a single migration file. This streamlines your development process by generating all necessary components with minimal configuration.

Basic Usage

To generate a new CRUD, use the following command:

node ace dreamer [entity]

Replace [entity] with your desired entity name. For example, to create a CRUD for blog posts:

node ace dreamer posts

Workflow

1. The command creates a migration file
2. You’ll be prompted to edit the file and define your entity fields
3. After saving, Dreamer automatically generates all CRUD components

Generated Components

Dreamer creates a complete set of files for your entity:

app/
├── models/
│   └── post.ts
├── controllers/
│   └── posts_controller.ts
├── validators/
│   └── post.ts
├── routes/
│   └── posts.ts
└── docs/  # If Bruno is enabled
    └── posts/
        └── index.bru
        └── show.bru
        └── store.bru
        └── update.bru
        └── destroy.bru

• Model: Lucid model with all field definitions
• Controller: RESTful actions implementation
• Validators: Input validation rules for store and update actions
• Routes: API endpoint definitions
• API Documentation: Automatically generated if Bruno is enabled in your configuration
