Create Enfyra App

The fastest way to create new Enfyra frontend applications

Create Enfyra App is a CLI tool that instantly scaffolds new Enfyra frontend projects with all the essentials configured for you.

Prerequisites

Important: You need to have an Enfyra backend running before creating your frontend application. The frontend will connect to your backend API.

Set up your backend first:

npx @enfyra/create-server my-backend

Backend Setup Guide - Complete instructions for setting up your Enfyra backend

The frontend does not own backend secrets. For self-hosted backends, keep the server SECRET_KEY stable and backed up because it signs auth tokens and decrypts fields marked isEncrypted=true.

Quick Start

# Using npx
npx @enfyra/create-app

# Using npm
npm exec @enfyra/create-app

# Using yarn
yarn dlx @enfyra/create-app

# Using pnpm  
pnpm dlx @enfyra/create-app

# Or install globally
npm install -g @enfyra/create-app
create-app
