@knitkit/create

Scaffold a runnable knitkit starter in one command.

npm create @knitkit my-app
cd my-app
npm run dev          # http://localhost:8080

(or pnpm create @knitkit my-app, yarn create @knitkit my-app, bun create @knitkit my-app)

You get a host that loadRemote()s a remote behind its own manifest, sharing one module instance across the boundary — no bundler plugin, no build step. Open DevTools → Network to watch the import map resolve and the remote load; click either +1 button to see the shared singleton update both sides.

What it scaffolds

index.html              host page: one import map + a bootstrap that
                        registerRemotes() then imports the app
src/main.js             host app: loadRemote("widgets/Widget") + shared UI
remote/widget.js        the exposed remote module (mount(el))
remote/knit.manifest.json   the remote's manifest
shared/store.js         the shared singleton both sides import
serve.mjs               a dependency-free static server

The runtime is loaded from a CDN, so the demo runs with zero install.

Usage

npm create @knitkit [dir] [--force]

• dir — target directory (default knitkit-app). The scaffolded package.json name is derived from it.
• --force — scaffold into a directory that already exists and is non-empty.
