create-sdk

Scaffold a production-ready TypeScript SDK with a strict public API.

create-sdk is a CLI tool that bootstraps a modern TypeScript SDK with ESM-first setup, API Extractor, and CI-ready structure — so you can focus on features, not boilerplate.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Interactive CLI (or fully automated with flags)
• 📦 ESM-first TypeScript setup
• 🔒 Strict public API via API Extractor
• 🧪 CI-verified & smoke-tested
• 🧱 Clean, scalable project structure
• 🚫 No hidden magic, no vendor lock-in

🚀 Quick start

This creates a clean SDK with a strict public API enforced by API Extractor.

npx @morda-dev/create-sdk my-sdk
cd my-sdk
npm install
npm run build

That’s it. You now have a production-ready SDK.

📘 Example SDK

See a minimal, production-style SDK generated with create-sdk:

👉 https://github.com/mordaHQ/example-sdk

This example demonstrates:

• a single, explicit public API entrypoint (src/index.ts)
• API Extractor–controlled surface
• ESM-first configuration
• CI-ready setup
• safe evolution without accidental breaking changes

Use it as a reference for structuring real-world SDKs.

❓ Why create-sdk?

Most SDK starters fall into one of two traps:

• ❌ too minimal — no real production setup
• ❌ too complex — opinionated, hard to extend

create-sdk sits in the middle:

Strict where it matters. Flexible where it should be.

You get:

• a clearly defined public API
• predictable build & release flow
• freedom to grow the SDK your way

🧩 What’s included

• TypeScript project with strict config
• API Extractor setup
• Ready-to-use CI workflow
• Clean module-based structure
• Example public API and types

🛠 CLI options

npx @morda-dev/create-sdk <name> [options]

Options

• --yes — skip all prompts
• --no-install — skip dependency installation
• --no-git — skip git initialization

Example

npx @morda-dev/create-sdk my-sdk --yes --no-install
