Welcome on Webtools Init !

Webtools Init is a minimal CLI tool that lets you create a full-stack web application using Slick (Front, SSR, SPA) and ExpressAPI (Back).

     

---

✨ Features

• Create a ready-to-use full-stack web app (front + back)
• Frontend: Slick (SSR + SPA)
• Backend: ExpressAPI
• Authentication: Built-in JsonToken auth service
• Database: Seequelize ORM integration
• Pre-configured project structure (client, server, shared)
• Works instantly via JSR — no installation needed

📦 Installation

deno run -Ar jsr:@webtools/init

🚀 Usage

Once your project is created, two applications will be available (if you enabled the API):

• Frontend (in /front)
• Backend (in /back)

You must start them separately, each with its own command.

🔹 Frontend

cd front
deno task dev

Runs the front app in development mode, using development environment variables.

To build it for production:

deno task build

Builds and serves the front app in production mode, using production environment variables.

🔹 Backend

cd back
deno task dev

Runs the back app in development mode, using development environment variables.

To build it for production:

deno task build

Builds and serves the back app in production mode, using production environment variables.

⚙️ Environment Configuration

If you activate the database option during project creation, go to the /back directory and configure your environment files with the following variables:

DATABASE_HOST=
DATABASE_USER=
DATABASE_PASS=
DATABASE_NAME=

If you enable the mailer service, also configure:

MAILER_HOST=
MAILER_PORT=
MAILER_USER=
MAILER_PASS=
MAILER_NAME=

When the database option is enabled, the generated code automatically includes:

• A minimal user model
• An authentication middleware
• An endpoint to fetch user data

This provides a ready-to-use foundation for managing user accounts securely.
