A command-line interface (CLI) for developing, building, and running Rocket web applications in Rust.
Scaffold production-ready APIs in seconds with idiomatic folder structure and database-ready templates.

• 🔧 rocket new to scaffold new Rocket projects
• 📦 Multiple templates: minimal (default), mongodb, postgres, mysql, mssql, sqlite, and more via rbatis
• 📂 Standard project layout (routes, db, middleware, etc.)
• 💡 Intuitive command design inspired by the dotnet CLI
• 🛠️ Git integration (--git)
• ✅ Cross-platform and built in pure Rust

cargo install --path .

git clone https://github.com/irfanghat/rocket-cli
cd rocket-cli
cargo build --release

4. Verify installation:

rocket-cli --version

rocket-cli <command> [options]

rocket-cli new my-api

Options:

--template <name>   Choose a template: minimal, mongodb, postgres, mysql, mssql, rbatis
--git               Initialize a Git repository

Example:

rocket-cli new my-api --template postgres --git

rocket-cli run

Every template follows a production-grade folder structure:

my-api/
├── Cargo.toml
├── src/
│   ├── main.rs         # App entrypoint
│   ├── routes/         # Route handlers
│   ├── db/             # DB config & connections
│   ├── repositories/   # Data access layer
│   ├── middleware/     # Middleware & guards
│   └── fairings/       # Fairings & launch hooks

Supported templates:

• minimal — Basic Rocket app (default)
• mongodb — Rocket with mongodb
• postgres — Rocket with PostgreSQL (WIP)
• mysql — Rocket with MySQL (WIP)
• mssql — Rocket with SQL Server (WIP)
• sqlite — Rocket with SQLite (WIP)
