Scaffolding CLI for new Foldkit applications. Creates a ready-to-run project with Vite, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, @foldkit/vite-plugin for hot reloading with Model preservation, your choice of rendering mode, and a starter example for SPA scaffolds.

Usage

npx create-foldkit-app
# or
pnpm create foldkit-app
# or
yarn create foldkit-app
# or
bun create foldkit-app

The CLI prompts you for a project name, rendering mode, starter example, and package manager. Pass --name, --rendering, --example, and/or --package-manager to skip the matching prompts.

Rendering

Mode	Description
`spa`	Render entirely in the browser. Starts from your choice of starter example below.
`ssg`	Prerender routes to static HTML at build time, then hydrate in the browser. Scaffolds a small routed app with a server entry and a prerender script.
`ssr`	Render each request on a Node server, then hydrate in the browser. Scaffolds a counter whose Flags come from the request, plus an Effect HttpServer host and a `start` script.

The starter examples apply to spa rendering. The ssg and ssr modes scaffold their own starter apps.
