Code-generator is a CLI tool written in Go that generates boilerplate CRUD code (models, handlers, routes, services, and DTOs) from a PostgreSQL database table. Ideal for kickstarting API development, it simplifies and automates repetitive tasks.

🚀 Features

• Generate Go models from PostgreSQL tables.
• Create handlers, routes, services, and DTOs using templates.
• Add custom fields.
• Lightweight and fast.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Go
• Cobra CLI
• PostgreSQL
• YAML for config
• Text/template

📦 Installation

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/moses000/mysoftware-code-generator.git cd mysoftware-code-generator

2. Install dependencies:

   bash go mod tidy

3. Run the application:

   go run main.go --conn "<your_postgres_conn>" --table "<table_name>"

🧑‍💻 Usage
