Code Generation

Zintrust includes a powerful code generation engine that helps you scaffold your application quickly while maintaining consistency.

Core Generators

The zin add command uses these generators under the hood:

• model: Generates a new ORM model.
• controller: Generates a new HTTP controller.
• migration: Generates a new database migration.
• middleware: Generates a new middleware function.
• service: Generates a new microservice structure.
• routes: Generates a new route file.
• feature: Generates a new feature module.

Advanced Generators

Zintrust also provides generators for testing, data seeding, and deployment:

• factory: Generates a model factory for testing.
• seeder: Generates a database seeder.
• requestfactory: Generates a service-to-service request factory.
• responsefactory: Generates a mock response factory for testing.
• workflow: Generates GitHub Actions deployment workflows (Lambda, Fargate, Cloudflare, Deno).

Custom Templates

You can customize the generated code by creating your own templates in .zintrust/templates/.

# Example: Customizing the controller template
cp src/cli/scaffolding/templates/controller.stub .zintrust/templates/controller.stub

Batch Generation

You can generate multiple components at once:

zin add model Product --migration --controller --factory
