NTC - Nexent Toolkit Console

A powerful CLI scaffolding tool for rapidly bootstrapping modern web and mobile projects.

Overview

NTC (Nexent Toolkit Console) is a command-line interface that generates production-ready project boilerplates for:

• Backend: Django REST Framework with authentication, Celery, Docker support
• Frontend: React, React Admin, Next.js
• Mobile: Flutter

Features

• Interactive project initialization with step-by-step prompts
• Django REST Framework scaffolding with JWT authentication, custom User models, and API documentation
• Environment setup automation (virtual environments, dependency installation)
• Docker & Docker Compose configuration included
• Authentication app generator with login, register, password reset endpoints
• Modular app architecture with pre-configured common utilities

Installation

pip install ntc-dev-kit

Quick Start

Create a new project interactively:

ntc init

Or specify technology directly:

# Django REST API backend
ntc init --technology django

# React frontend
ntc init --technology react

# Next.js full-stack
ntc init --technology nextjs

# Flutter mobile
ntc init --technology flutter

Usage

Interactive Mode

ntc init

A few questions, asked inline: project name, what you're building, where it goes, then the options for that technology (sign-in and Python environment for Django; installing dependencies for the others), a summary, and Create?. The defaults are already selected, so Enter takes them; ↑/↓ move, a number key picks an option at once, Esc cancels without writing anything. Each answer collapses to one line, and the only progress shown is for real work (creating the environment, installing packages).

Without questions

Every answer can be given as a flag; with --yes nothing is asked (scripts, CI, AI agents):

ntc init -t django --name shop-api --with-auth --env venv --yes
ntc init -t nextjs --name site --install --yes

Technology Options

Additional Commands

# Create a new Django app within your project
ntc create app <app_name>

# Show help
ntc --help
