create-bdpamke-react-scaffold

Scaffold generator for a BDPA React full-stack starter built with Vite, Express, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui.

Use this package to create a new project from the BDPA scaffold template without cloning the repository manually.

Usage

npx create-bdpamke-react-scaffold my-app

To generate into the current empty directory:

npx create-bdpamke-react-scaffold .

or:

npx create-bdpamke-react-scaffold --use-current-dir

This creates a new project directory containing the scaffold template.

What You Get

The generated project includes:

• Vite + React frontend
• Express backend in server/
• Tailwind CSS configuration
• shadcn/ui component scaffold
• starter docs and example guides
• image assets and app structure ready to customize

Quick Start

If you generated into a new directory:

cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev:all

If you generated into the current directory, skip the cd step.

Optional VS Code Extensions

The generated scaffold includes a VS Code recommendation file for:

• ES7+ React/Redux/React-Native snippets
• Tailwind CSS IntelliSense

You can also install them directly with:

code --install-extension dsznajder.es7-react-js-snippets
code --install-extension bradlc.vscode-tailwindcss

Optional Git Setup

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

Notes

• The generated app is a starter scaffold, not a published component library.
• The template is intended to be customized after generation.
• Run npm run dev:all in the generated project to start both the frontend and backend together.
