📋 StartEndPoint Documentation

🚀 How It Works

The StartEndPoint extension streamlines the creation of Express.js API endpoints by automating repetitive development tasks. Instead of manually creating folders, writing route definitions, importing modules, and updating app.js, the extension performs these operations through an easy step-by-step workflow inside Visual Studio Code.

Every action in this guide represents a stage of the endpoint generation process. As you proceed through the screenshots, the extension gradually builds your backend structure, registers routes, generates endpoint files, and connects everything automatically. This ensures every API follows the same architecture, reducing development time and minimizing manual errors.

Workflow Overview

The complete endpoint generation process consists of several automated stages:

  1. Open app.js, where the extension becomes available from the VS Code Title Bar.
  2. Launch the StartEndPoint command to begin the API generation process.
  3. Select or create the required API folder for the new endpoint.
  4. Enter the endpoint or table name that will be used throughout the generated project structure.
  5. The extension automatically creates folders, configuration files, route handlers, endpoint modules, and supporting boilerplate code.
  6. Route registrations are inserted into app.js automatically, removing the need for manual imports and route configuration.
  7. After generation is complete, the project is immediately ready for further business logic implementation and API testing.
Result: Within a few clicks, the extension transforms an empty project into a fully connected Express.js API structure, following a consistent folder organization and coding standard.
