Create-trpc-appx NPM

About The Project

The easiest way to get started with tRPC is by using create-trpc-appx. This CLI tool enables you to quickly start building a new tRPC application, with everything set up for you. You can create a new app using the default tRPC template, or by using one of the official tRPC examples.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Some examples use yarn, so you may need to install it after creating a new project.

Usage

To get started, use the following command:

npx create-trpc-appx@latest <FOLDER NAME>
# or
yarn create trpc-appx <FOLDER NAME>
# or
pnpm create trpc-appx <FOLDER NAME>

Options

create-trpc-appx comes with the following options:

-e, --example name|github-url - An example to bootstrap the app with. You can use an example name from the tRPC repo or a GitHub URL. The URL can use any branch and/or subdirectory.
--example-path <path-to-example> - In a rare case, your GitHub URL might contain a branch name with a slash (e.g. bug/fix-1) and the path to the example (e.g. foo/bar). In this case, you must specify the path to the example separately: --example-path foo/bar
--use-npm - Explicitly tell the CLI to bootstrap the app using npm. To bootstrap using yarn we recommend to run yarn create trpc-appx
--use-pnpm - Explicitly tell the CLI to bootstrap the app using pnpm. To bootstrap using pnpm we recommend running pnpm create trpc-appx
