koa-generator is an open-source command-line scaffolding utility that creates starter applications for the Koa Node.js web framework. Inspired by Express Generator, it provides a familiar workflow for initializing structured web projects. The software supports both Koa 1.x and Koa 2.x through separate generation commands. Generated applications include the basic configuration, middleware structure, and files needed to begin development. Users can select template engines such as Jade, EJS, Handlebars, Nunjucks, and Hogan. The generator also offers options for creating Git ignore files and controlling output directory behavior. Koa 2 templates support modern middleware patterns, including async/await. The project is distributed through npm and is primarily suited to older Koa development environments.
