Overview

JPIO (Java Project Input/Output) is an open-source Python CLI that automates the creation of Spring Boot project scaffolding. You describe your entities and their relationships interactively in the terminal — JPIO generates all the layers: Entity, DTO, Mapper, Repository, Service, ServiceImpl, Controller, and Exceptions.

Built for developers who are tired of copy-pasting the same boilerplate across every new project.

---

Why JPIO?

Every Spring Boot project starts the same way:

mkdir config controller entity dto mapper repository service exception

Then you write the same JpaRepository interfaces, the same CRUD controllers, the same GlobalExceptionHandler, the same SwaggerConfig... over and over again.

JPIO eliminates that entirely.

Without JPIO	With JPIO
~30–60 min of boilerplate setup	~2 minutes
Manual folder creation	Auto-generated structure
Copy-paste error-prone	Template-driven, consistent
Forgotten files	Nothing is missed

---

Installation

pip install jpio-cli

Requirements:

• Python 3.9+
• pip

---

Quick Start

# Go to your Spring Boot project root
cd my-spring-project

# Launch the JPIO wizard
jpio start

# Follow the interactive prompts:
# ? API route prefix     : /api/v1
#
# --- Entity 1 ---
# ? Entity name          : Product
# ? Fields               : name (String), price (Double), stock (Integer)
# ? Has relations?       : Yes → ManyToMany → Category
#
# --- Entity 2 ---
# ? Entity name          : Category
# ? Fields               : name (String)
#
# ? Add another entity? No
#
# ✅ Business layers generated!

Commands

Command	Description
jpio start	Initialize and scaffold business layers for a project
jpio add	Add a new entity to an existing JPIO project
jpio security	Add a complete Spring Security JWT layer
jpio scan	Display the current state of a JPIO project

jpio start

Launches the full interactive wizard. Detects your existing package structure, pom.xml dependencies, and configuration format (properties vs yaml). Generates the complete CRUD structure for your entities.

jpio add

Run inside an existing JPIO project. Prompts for a new entity and appends the generated files without touching existing code. Reads .jpio.json to stay aware of existing entities and relationships.

jpio security

Adds a complete Spring Security + JWT implementation to your project.

• Generates SecurityConfig, JwtUtil, JwtAuthenticationFilter, and UserDetailsServiceImpl.
• Generates authentication endpoints (/auth/login, /auth/register) and DTOs.
• Automatically creates a User entity and Role enum if not already present.
• Injects required dependencies into your pom.xml.

jpio scan

Reads .jpio.json and displays a summary table of the project: entities, fields, and relations.

Supported Relations

Relation	Description	Example
OneToMany	One entity has many of another	Order → OrderItem
ManyToOne	Many entities belong to one	OrderItem → Order
ManyToMany	Both sides have many	Product ↔ Category

JPIO automatically handles:

• The @JoinTable annotation for ManyToMany
• The mappedBy attribute on the inverse side
• Pluralization and correct field types (List<Target>)

---

Roadmap

• MVP: interactive wizard + full CRUD scaffold generation
• OneToMany / ManyToMany relation support
• jpio add command for existing projects
• jpio scan project inspector
• Enums support & Request/Response DTO separation
• Spring Security scaffolding (v0.5.0)
• jpio add enum command for existing projects
• IntelliJ IDEA plugin
• VS Code extension
• Lombok support toggle
• MapStruct vs manual mapper toggle
