create-barelyjs-app

create-barelyjs-app is a command-line tool for quickly scaffolding new projects using the BarelyJS library.

Note: This CLI tool works with the BarelyJS library. Check out BarelyJS to see how to build UI components and use the template created by this tool.

Installation

npm install -g create-barelyjs-app

Or run it with npx:

npx create-barelyjs-app my-new-app

Usage

create-barelyjs-app <app-name> [--js | --jsx | --ts | --tsx]

• <app-name> — the name of the new project folder.
• --js — uses a basic JavaScript template.
• --jsx — uses JSX (Vite) template.
• --ts — uses a basic TypeScript template with Vite for runtime.
• --jsx — uses TSX (Vite) template.
• The tool will create a folder with this name in your current working directory.

Example:

npx create-barelyjs-app barelyjs-example
npx create-barelyjs-app barelyjs-example --js
npx create-barelyjs-app barelyjs-example --jsx
npx create-barelyjs-app barelyjs-example --ts
npx create-barelyjs-app barelyjs-example --tsx

This will:

1. Copy all files from the template folder to ./barelyjs-example.
2. Update package.json name to "barelyjs-example".
3. Run npm install inside the new folder.
4. Print instructions for starting the project.

After Creation

Once the project is created, you can run:

• For JS:

  cd <app-name>
  npx serve

• For JSX/TS/TSX:

  cd <app-name>
  npm run dev

This will start a local server serving your new BarelyJS project.

Notes

• Make sure you have Node.js installed (version >=18 recommended).
• The template folder inside this package contains the base structure of a BarelyJS project, including index.html, src/, and package.json.
• No build step is required — the template is ready to use immediately.
