create-vanjs

Scaffolding your first VanJS project in seconds!

> Compatibility Note: Vite requires Node.js

> version to work, please upgrade if your package manager warns about it.

``bash


NPM:


npm create vanjs@latest
`

`bash


PNPM:


pnpm create vanjs@latest
`

`bash


Deno:


deno run -A npm:create-vanjs@latest
`

`bash


Bun:


bun create vanjs@latest
`

Then follow the prompts!

Note: if you execute the _create_ command with other package manager than
_npm_, your project's package.json scripts will be updated to use that package
manager. (EG: bun create vanjs will rename scripts to bun run build).

#### Current Directory

You can use . for the project name to scaffold in the current directory.

`bash


npm


npm create vanjs@latest .
`

#### Specify Template

You can also directly specify the project name and the template you want to use
via additional command line options. For example, to scaffold a basic Vite +
VanJS project, run:

`bash


npm


npm create vanjs@latest my-vanjs-app -- --template node-base
`
