create-waku non-interactive

[rmarscher]

I'm working on a PR to add create-waku to Cloudflare's C3 CLI tool.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to run create-waku so that it doesn't require any interactive prompts.

I'm not sure if there is a way to pre-fill the project name. I think it would be expected to use the first positional argument for that. Or a --project-name option would be fine too. It was looking at the code and at the prompts npm package and I'm not seeing it.

In the create-cloudflare implementation for Remix - https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/blob/main/packages/create-cloudflare/templates-experimental/remix/c3.ts#L13 - the project name is passed as the first positional argument to the npm create remix command.

The create-remix cli has a block of code that attempts to detect if it should run in a non-interactive mode. They also look for a custom environment variable (CREATE_REMIX_FORCE_INTERACTIVE).

  // Adapted from https://github.com/sindresorhus/is-interactive
  return Boolean(
    process.stdout.isTTY &&
      process.env.TERM !== "dumb" &&
      !("CI" in process.env)
  );

I could potentially help and create a PR for create-waku. Thanks!

Hm, I think adding --project-name option sounds good. It might be useful for the normal usage. The question is if we could fallback to interactive mode if the provided --project-name value is invalid.

Yeah, please open a PR.
