Addons
Servest Addons allow you to quickly enhance your project with utilities, integrations, or pre-configured setups. Addons are framework- and runtime-agnostic, meaning they can work across Node.js frameworks like Express, Fastify, NestJS, and future runtimes like Bun, Python, PHP, or Go.

How Addons Affect Your Project
- Updates your project structure (MVC or modular) automatically.
- Installs all required dependencies and scripts.
- Keeps your setup consistent across projects.
- Ensures addons work together without conflict.
Framework-Specific Addons
Currently, Express is the only supported framework.
Future releases will include support for:
- Node.js frameworks → NestJS, Fastify, Koa
- Python → Django, FastAPI
- PHP → Laravel
- Go (planned)
Each framework will have its own section under /addons/.
Notes
- Addons can be safely re-run; existing configurations will be skipped without overwriting your setup.
- Works seamlessly with other addons (e.g., ESLint + Prettier) for a combined workflow.
Why It Matters
- Standardizes project setup and structure across all projects.
- Reduces repetitive tasks and accelerates development.
- Ensures consistency and compatibility of features and utilities.
