## Current Behavior The Node.js application generator (`packages/node/src/generators/application/application.ts`) is implemented as a single large file containing ~469 lines of code. All generator logic is mixed together in one file including: - Option normalization and validation - Project configuration creation - File generation - Build/serve target setup - Dependency management - ESLint configuration - Proxy setup This makes the code harder to maintain, test, and understand as the file handles multiple responsibilities. ## Expected Behavior The generator is now refactored into smaller, focused modules organized in a `lib/` directory: - `normalize-options.ts` - handles option normalization and validation - `normalized-schema.ts` - defines the normalized schema interface - `create-project.ts` - handles project configuration creation (exported as `addProject`) - `create-files.ts` - handles file generation (exported as `addAppFiles`) - `create-targets.ts` - handles build/serve target configuration - `add-dependencies.ts` - handles dependency management (exported as `addProjectDependencies`) - `add-linting.ts` - handles ESLint setup (exported as `addLintingToApplication`) - `add-proxy.ts` - handles proxy configuration (exported as `addProxy`) - `index.ts` - exports all the functions The main `application.ts` file is now much cleaner at ~15 lines, focusing on orchestrating the generator workflow by calling the extracted functions. This separation of concerns improves: - **Maintainability**: Each file has a single responsibility - **Testability**: Individual functions can be tested in isolation - **Readability**: Easier to understand what each part does - **Reusability**: Functions can be potentially reused by other generators
