What if there was an easier and faster way to build Next.js apps?

There is. It’s a free and open source tool called shadrizz, a full stack TypeScript scaffolding automation framework.

This tool was heavily inspired by Ruby on Rails. As you can see, the scaffold commands are very similar:

npx shadrizz@latest scaffold post -c name:varchar title:varchar content:text 
rails generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text

Within seconds, you can have a Create Read Update Delete user interface, pagination, collapsible sidebar with menu, authentication and authorization, breadcrumbs, search, and sorting.

If you need assistance in designing your schema, you can use the AI Scaffold command. This will start an interactive wizard to help you build your ap.

Just describe your wish in plain English.

shadrizz writes code to your Next.js project.

Using git, you can review every line of code that is changed.

This approach of code generation is greatly inspired by shadcn/ui.
