create-beignet

[!CAUTION] Beignet is experimental alpha software. The 0.0.x package line is for early evaluation, and APIs may change between releases while the framework settles.

Create a new Beignet app with one command.

Create an app

bun create beignet my-app

Other package managers work the same way:

npm create beignet@latest my-app
pnpm create beignet my-app
yarn create beignet my-app

After creation:

cd my-app
bun install
cp .env.example .env.local
bun beignet db migrate
bun run dev

Interactive setup

Running bare bun create beignet in an interactive terminal opens a prompt-based setup that asks for the project directory, whether to scaffold an API-only app, which database to use, and which provider integrations to add. Passing any selection flag (--api, --db, --integrations, or --package-manager) skips the prompts, and --yes forces the non-interactive defaults (the full-stack SQLite starter with bun) even on a terminal:

bun create beignet my-app --yes

Flags

create-beignet is a thin wrapper around beignet create, so every flag passes through unchanged:

bun create beignet my-app --api --integrations inngest,resend
bun create beignet my-app --db postgres

--db picks the database backend: sqlite (the default), postgres, or mysql. Every backend scaffolds provider wiring, schema, the vendored initial migration, env examples, and tests for that database.

See the @beignet/cli README for the full list of flags and integrations, plus the beignet commands available inside a generated app.
