create-aphex

Scaffold a new Aphex CMS project. Copies the base template into a new directory and rewrites workspace:* deps to their published versions.

Usage

pnpm create aphex my-app
# or
npm create aphex my-app
# or
npx create-aphex my-app

You can also invoke it through the aphx CLI, which shells out to this package:

pnpm aphex create

What it does

1. Prompts for a project name (or takes the positional argument).
2. Prompts for a template (currently only base).
3. Copies templates/base/ into the new directory.
4. Rewrites workspace:* dependencies to their published versions.
5. Writes a default .env with working dev defaults.

Templates

base

A full-featured Aphex CMS application:

• Better Auth (email + password, email verification, password reset)
• Organizations with parent/child hierarchy
• PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM with RLS policies
• S3-compatible storage (@aphexcms/storage-s3) with local-filesystem fallback
• Mailpit in dev / Resend in prod
• Auto-generated GraphQL API
• In-memory cache adapter for published-perspective reads

After scaffolding

cd my-app
pnpm install
pnpm db:start      # Start PostgreSQL + Mailpit via Docker
pnpm db:push       # Apply the schema (dev)
pnpm dev           # http://localhost:5173

Open http://localhost:5173/admin — the first user to sign up becomes the super admin.
