Maker Commands

The maker CLI scaffolds source files, drives the database, and runs the dev/build/bundle workflow. Backed by Cliffy.

deno task maker            # list all commands
deno task maker make:module blog
deno task maker db:status

make:* — scaffolding

Command	Arguments	Options	Creates
make:module	<name:string>	--force	src/modules/<name>/ with a barebones model + seeder (plus controller + Zod schema)
make:model	<module:string> <name:string>	--force, --dry-run	src/modules/<module>/database/models/<snake>.model.ts
make:seeder	<module:string> <name:string>	--force, --dry-run	src/modules/<module>/database/seeders/<snake>.seed.ts
make:controller	<module:string> <name:string>	--force, --dry-run	controller + Zod schema pair in the module's controllers/

After make:module, edit the generated model + seeder, then bring the schema to the database:

deno task maker db:migrate --seed   # or just db:migrate if you don't seed
deno task dev                       # your new bindings appear in the UI

make:model / make:seeder only add extra files to an existing module — migrations apply to the whole schema (see Database Commands).

--force overwrites existing files; --dry-run prints the target path(s) without writing.

Example session

deno task maker make:module blog
#   created  src/modules/blog/database/models/blog.model.ts  (barebones)
#   created  src/modules/blog/database/seeders/blog.seed.ts
#   created  src/modules/blog/controllers/blog.controller.ts + blog.schema.ts

deno task maker make:controller blog Post
#   extra resource: post.controller.ts + post.schema.ts
#   registered in the next bindings:gen

Database family

The db:* commands live under the same CLI — see Database Commands.

Run / build / bundle family

The same CLI drives the run/build/bundle workflow — that's why deno.json ships just five thin tasks (maker, dev, serve, ui, test):

deno task maker dev            # codegen → build UI → desktop app (HMR)
deno task maker serve          # codegen → deno run -A --env-file src/main.ts
deno task maker build          # build UI + desktop app for the host OS
deno task maker bundle:win     # full package: UI + deps + optional Chromium + zip

dev / serve / ui are also mirrored as deno task dev / serve / ui. See Bundle Commands for the bundle flags.
