TurboGo CLI

TurboGo provides a simple, flexible command-line interface (CLI) to generate starter projects and scaffolding instantly — powered by Node.js, not Golang binary.

Why Node.js CLI?

Unlike Go-based CLIs, TurboGo CLI is implemented in Node.js using tools like commander, inquirer, and chalk for:

Better interactive prompts
Cross-platform support (Windows/macOS/Linux)
Easier development and fast iteration
Ecosystem advantage (rich CLI UI tools)

⚠️ We intentionally use Node.js to overcome limitations of Go's CLI tooling, especially for rich interactive workflows.

Installation

No need to install anything globally. Just run:

npx create-turbogo@latest my-app

This will generate the default TurboGo project structure:

my-app/
├── features/
│   └── [feature-name]/
│       ├── handler.go       # HTTP handlers
│       ├── service.go       # Business logic
│       ├── repository.go    # Data access
│       └── router.go        # Route registration
├── main.go
├── .env
└── README.md

Benefits of Feature-Based Architecture:

✅ Modular: Each feature is independent and self-contained
✅ Scalable: Easy to add new features without changing existing structure
✅ Maintainable: Code is easier to locate, understand, and modify by feature
✅ Testable: Each layer can be tested independently

Use Cases

Kickstart new TurboGo projects in seconds
Save time scaffolding repetitive structure
Ensure consistent architecture across teams

Example Command

npx create-turbogo@latest myapp

Follow the prompt and your project will be scaffolded automatically.

Pro Tip

After generation:

cd bisa
go mod tidy
Configure your .env file
go run .

Start coding your next backend with the speed of TurboGo! 🌀
