Changelog

This page tracks notable StartXKit changes in plain language.

1.0.0

Major Release

StartXKit is ready for its first major npm release.

JavaScript Support

Added JavaScript project generation for Express, Fastify, and Hono across minimal, modular, and layered architectures.

CLI

Updated the startup banner and language prompt so users can choose between TypeScript and JavaScript when creating a project.

Stability

Fixed generated JavaScript CORS configuration and added regression coverage for JavaScript project and module generation.

0.1.5

Publish Preparation

Added npm package READMEs for:

• @startxkit/core
• @startxkit/create
• @startxkit/cli

These READMEs explain what each package does, how to use it, and how the generated architecture layouts work.

Website

Added this changelog page to the documentation site.

0.1.4

Architecture Templates

StartXKit now generates different project layouts for each architecture.

minimal
  route files with inline handlers

modular
  src/modules/{feature}/...

layered
  src/routes
  src/controllers
  src/services
  src/repositories
  src/interfaces
  src/validators

This fixes the earlier behavior where minimal, modular, and layered projects looked too similar.

Add Module

npx @startxkit/cli add module users now respects both the selected architecture and selected module depth.

Supported depth choices:

• Route + Controller
• Route + Controller + Service
• Route + Controller + Service + Repository
• Full: Route + Controller + Service + Repository + Interface + Validator

Modular projects write module files under src/modules/users. Layered projects write files into top-level layer folders.

Fastify And Hono Feature Parity

Fastify and Hono templates now support:

• CORS config
• Env config
• Error handlers

These options are no longer silently ignored for non-Express projects.

Documentation

The docs now explain:

• Which architecture to choose
• How module generation works
• How dependency injection affects generated modules
• Framework-specific route patterns

0.1.1

Documentation Site

Added the Fumadocs-powered documentation site with pages for:

• Getting started
• CLI commands
• Frameworks
• Architectures
• Roadmap

0.1.0

• Interactive project creation
• Express, Fastify, Hono
• TypeScript templates
• Minimal, modular, layered architecture choices
• Module generation
• Health endpoint
• Optional CORS, env config, validation, logging, error handler, tests, and Docker
