@srcnexus/create-extension

Scaffold a new SrcNexus Code Editor extension project.

Usage

npm create @srcnexus/extension

The CLI will prompt you for a name, ID, description, and language (TypeScript or JavaScript), then generate a ready-to-build extension project.

Non-Interactive Mode

npm create @srcnexus/extension -- --name "My Extension" --lang typescript -y

| Option | Description | |---|---| | --name <name> | Extension display name | | --id <id> | Extension ID (auto-derived from name if omitted) | | --description <desc> | Extension description | | --lang <lang> | typescript or javascript | | --dir <path> | Output directory (default: ./<id>) | | -y, --yes | Skip prompts, use defaults | | -h, --help | Show help |
