## create-vanjs

Scaffolding your first VanJS project in seconds!

> **Compatibility Note:** Vite requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)
> version 18+, 20+, 22+. However, some templates require a higher Node.js
> version to work, please upgrade if your package manager warns about it.

### Usage

```bash
# NPM:
npm create vanjs@latest
```

```bash
# PNPM:
pnpm create vanjs@latest
```

```bash
# Deno:
deno run -A npm:create-vanjs@latest
```

```bash
# Bun:
bun create vanjs@latest
```

Then follow the prompts!

**Note**: if you execute the _create_ command with other package manager than
_npm_, your project's `package.json` scripts will be updated to use that package
manager. (EG: `bun create vanjs` will rename scripts to `bun run build`).

#### Current Directory

You can use `.` for the project name to scaffold in the current directory.

```bash
# npm
npm create vanjs@latest .
```

#### Specify Template

You can also directly specify the project name and the template you want to use
via additional command line options. For example, to scaffold a basic Vite +
VanJS project, run:

```bash
# npm
npm create vanjs@latest my-vanjs-app -- --template node-base
```

### Templates
