A powerful CLI tool for scaffolding production-ready JavaScript full-stack projects with best practices built-in.

# Interactive setup (recommended)
npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-app

# Quick start with defaults
npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-app --yes

# Start from a preset
npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-app --preset mern --yes

# Custom stack
npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-app \
  --frontend react \
  --backend express \
  --database mongodb \
  --orm mongoose \
  --package-manager pnpm \
  --git \
  --install

createjsstack builds your project by layering templates on top of each other, one per choice you make:

base  →  frontend  →  backend  →  database/orm  →  auth  →  api  →  addons  →  examples

Each layer contributes its own files. For package.json, the layers are deep-merged (not overwritten), so the dependencies and scripts from every layer are combined into a single coherent file. Your project always gets a base (package.json, README.md, .gitignore, LICENSE) plus everything your selected stack needs.

You can configure the stack in three ways, and they compose left-to-right (later wins):

1. Presets — a named bundle of choices (--preset mern)
2. Individual flags — override any single choice (--database postgres)
3. Interactive prompts — run with no flags for a guided setup

# Preset as a base, then override just the database + orm
npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-app --preset mern --database postgres --orm prisma --yes

# List all presets
npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest list

Frontend: react, next, vue, nuxt, svelte, sveltekit, solid, qwik, astro, angular, remix, react-router, tanstack-router, tanstack-start, native-nativewind, native-unistyles
Backend: express, hono, fastify, nest, koa, elysia, next, convex
Databases: mongodb, postgres, mysql, sqlite

Auth: better-auth, clerk, next-auth, lucia
API: trpc, orpc, graphql, rest
Addons: docker, biome, turborepo, pwa, tauri, vitest, playwright, cypress
Package Managers: npm, pnpm, bun

npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-app --preset mern --yes

npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-app \
  --frontend next \
  --backend next \
  --database postgres \
  --orm prisma \
  --auth better-auth \
  --package-manager pnpm

npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest my-api \
  --frontend none \
  --backend nest \
  --database postgres \
  --orm typeorm \
  --addons docker

Note: Project name is always customizable, even with --yes flag. Run npx @vipinyadav02/createjsstack@latest create --help for the full option list.
