CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for database entities.
Boilerplate code for various backend frameworks.
Codespell currently supports:
Node.js
Golang
PHP (Symfony, Laravel)
.NET
Java
How It Works
Step 1: Selecting Framework & Database
Choose your backend framework.
Database (available options vary by language; currently supported: MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server)
Step 2: Importing or Creating Database Schema
Option 1: Manual Table Creation
Add tables and define relationships.
Fig 16: Demonstrates the framework and DB selection step.
Option 2: Import Existing Schema
Upload SQL schema or import from an existing database.
Fig 17: Example of schema import via SQL.
Step 3: Reviewing the Entity Model
View all tables with their relationships, foreign keys, and constraints.

Modify entities as needed.
Step 4: Generating API Code
Click Review & Generate.

Codespell generates API endpoints, CRUD operations, and a starter boilerplate.

Step 5: Writing Business Logic
Developers extend the generated code by adding custom business logic.
