### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/spotinst/cli-reference/create) # Spotinst Functions - Create Creates a new service in the current working directory based on the provided template. **Create service in current working directory:** ```bash serverless create -t spotinst-nodejs ``` **Create service in new folder:** ```bash serverless create -t spotinst-nodejs -p myService ``` ## Options - `--template` or `-t` The name of one of the available templates. **Required if --template-url and --template-path are not present**. - `--template-url` or `-u` A URL pointing to a remotely hosted template. **Required if --template and --template-path are not present**. - `--template-path` The local path of your template. **Required if --template and --template-url are not present**. - `--path` or `-p` The path where the service should be created. - `--name` or `-n` the name of the service in `serverless.yml`. ## Available Templates To see a list of available templates run `serverless create --help` Most commonly used templates: - spotinst-nodejs - spotinst-python - spotinst-ruby - spotinst-java - plugin ## Examples ### Creating a new service ```bash serverless create -t spotinst-nodejs -n my-special-service ``` This example will generate scaffolding for a service with `Spotinst` as a provider and `nodejs` as runtime. The scaffolding will be generated in the current working directory. ### Creating a named service in a (new) directory ```bash serverless create -t spotinst-nodejs -p my-new-service ``` This example will generate scaffolding for a service with `Spotinst` as a provider and `ruby` as runtime. The scaffolding will be generated in the `my-new-service` directory. This directory will be created if not present. Otherwise Serverless will use the already present directory. ### Creating a new service using a local template ```bash serverless create --template-path path/to/my/template/folder --path path/to/my/service --name my-new-service ``` This will copy the `path/to/my/template/folder` folder into `path/to/my/service` and rename the service to `my-new-service`.
