### Expressify-CLI 🚀


**Expressify-CLI** is a command-line tool designed to generate a **production-grade** scaffold for Express applications in a single command. This tool streamlines the setup process for developing Express applications with JavaScript/TypeScript, making it faster and more efficient.

#### Inspiration 💡

Setting up a new Express project can often feel like reinventing the wheel. Developers frequently encounter the challenge of integrating a myriad of components such as TypeScript configurations, testing frameworks, linters, Docker configurations, and more. This not only consumes valuable time but also poses a risk of inconsistency and configuration errors.

#### How Expressify-CLI Solves the Problem 🛠️

Expressify-CLI tackles these challenges head-on by automating the creation of a comprehensive and robust scaffold for Express applications. With just one command, developers can now generate a project structure that includes:

- TypeScript (TS) configuration for robust typing. 📐
- Test configurations for reliable code testing. ✅
- Linters for maintaining code quality and consistency. 🔍
- Docker files for easy containerization. 🐳
- Logger setup for effective logging and monitoring. 📝
- Graceful shutdowns for better resource management. 🧘
- Error handling middleware for improved error management. 🚫
- Optional authentication module with JWT for secure access. 🔒
- Pre-configured Git setup with README, license file, and other production-level settings. 📄
