Chat: Telegram
Donate: PayPal, Open Collective, Patreon
A CLI tool for getting started with the MEVN stack. The acronym “MEVN” stands for “MongoDB Express.js VueJS Node.js”. It offers a super-simple boilerplate template and additional utilities for building a MEVN stack-based webapp. It takes away the hassle of setting up the local development environment which may become a nightmare especially for beginners who are just starting.
Installation
Prerequisites
- npm is a package manager for the JavaScript programming language.
- node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser.
- git is a version control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people. It is primarily used for source code management in software development.
Quickstart
npm install -g mevn-cli
mevn init <appname>
Available Commands
MEVN-CLI offers the following set of commands:-
| command | description |
|---|---|
| mevn init <appname> | Scaffolds a MEVN stack project in the current path |
| mevn serve | Serves the client/server side template locally |
| mevn add [deps] [--dev] | Adds additional dependencies as required on the go |
| mevn generate | Generates component files for the client and CRUD boilerplate template for the server based on MVC architecture |
| mevn codesplit | Lazy load components as required |
| mevn dockerize | Serves the webapp as multi-container Docker applications |
| mevn deploy | Deploys the webapp to a cloud service of choice |
| mevn info | Prints debugging information about the local environment |
Features
- It allows Developers to build webapps with ease in which all the local environment setup is being taken care of. All they have to do is to focus on writing actual code.
- The whole project is done in modules(thanks to ES6 syntax) which enhances user readability and leads to compact code.
- MEVN-CLI simplifies developer workflow by generating the required boilerplate and automating redundant tasks.

- Make your life-changing changes.
- Run
npm run buildwhich generates alibdirectory with the transpiledes5code. - Type in
npm linkto test everything works fine. (Now you've access to themevnroot-command.) - Run tests locally before commiting with
npm test. (If you're having issues running tests locally, then you can commit and use GitHub actions ci in your own fork. All tests should pass.) - Commit and push your changes.
- Make a detailed pull request.
npm linkcreates a symlink in the global folder making themevncommand globally available within your local development environment
Why should I contribute?
Contributing helps people and simply makes the world a better place, Without contributors this project would cease to exist.
How should I write a commit message?
This project uses Commitlint to check if the commit messages meet the conventional commit format. The full pattern is:
type(scope?): subject #scope is optional
body? #body is optional
footer? #footer is optional
Following that pattern, your commit messages should look like these:
feat: activate open collective
chore: correct typo
It should be "guest" and not "gest"
refactor(cli): drop support for node 6
BREAKING CHANGE: you will need to update your node version to keep using this CLI
This closes #123
What if I cannot code or do not like it?
You can always write documentation, most repositories lack in it.
What is next?
Nothing! You're done and ready to get coding!
