create-nts-app

Create Node TypeScript (nts) apps with no build configuration.

Inspired by the simplicity of Create React App 👏

Getting started

npx create-nts-app my-node-app
cd my-node-app
npm start

Templates

By default create-nts-app generates the simplest TypeScript app possible. However, you can jump start your next project with various templates; just provide the --template argument.

Supported templates

Any published npm package that is prefixed with nts-template-* should work. Just pass it into the --template argument without the prefix.

// Drop the package's "nts-template-" prefix
npx create-nts-app my-express-app --template express

Here are some we've specifically setup:

• default
• Search npm for more

Coming soon:

• npm
• express
• tsoa
• graphql

Other sources

You can also pull in locally stored templates or templates directly from a git URL. For a locally stored template prefix your --template argument with file:. To pull a template from a git URL, just pass in it in.

// Local template
npx create-nts-app my-app --template file:../nts-template

// Git template
npx create-nts-app my-app --template https://github.com/djdmbrwsk/nts-template.git
