vlt create

Usage

Terminal

$ vlt create <initializer> [args...]

Initialize a new project from a template package.

Description

The vlt create command works like npm create and bun create, automatically prepending “create-” to the package name and executing it.

For example, running:

Terminal

$ vlt create react-app my-app

Will fetch and execute the create-react-app package with the arguments my-app.

If a satisfying instance of the create package exists in the local node_modules folder, then that will be used. Otherwise, vlt will install the package to its XDG data directory without modifying your local dependencies.

Examples

Start a Next.js Project

Terminal

$ vlt create next-app my-app

This fetches and runs create-next-app my-app. You can also pass options through:

Terminal

$ vlt create next-app my-app --typescript --tailwind --eslint
$ vlt create next-app my-app --use-pnpm  # or any create-next-app flag

Create a React App

Terminal

$ vlt create react-app my-app

This executes create-react-app my-app

Create a Vite Project

Terminal

$ vlt create vite my-project

This executes create-vite my-project

Create a SvelteKit Project

Terminal

$ vlt create svelte@latest my-app

This executes create-svelte@latest my-app

Use a Scoped Template

Terminal

$ vlt create @scope/template my-app

This executes @scope/create-template my-app

Skip Confirmation Prompts

Use --yes to automatically accept the install prompt:

Terminal

$ vlt create next-app my-app --yes

Options

--allow-scripts <query>

Filter which packages are allowed to run lifecycle scripts using DSS query syntax.

Terminal

$ vlt create vite my-app --allow-scripts='create-*'
