create-davepi-app

Scaffold a new dAvePi project in one command.

npx create-davepi-app my-app
npx create-davepi-app my-crm --template crm
npx create-davepi-app my-tickets --template ticketing
npx create-davepi-app my-blog --template content

Templates

| Template | What you get | |----------|--------------| | blank | Minimal — one resource (note) with full-text search. | | crm | Accounts / contacts / deals (state machine) / activities. Showcases relations, computed fields, file uploads, aggregations. | | ticketing | Tickets with two state machines (status + priority) plus comments. Showcases ACL on a comment field. | | content | Blog / CMS skeleton: articles (editorial workflow), categories, hero image uploads, computed slugs. | | b2b-saas | Multi-tenant SaaS skeleton: orgs / workspaces / invites (state machine) / billing-event ledger with monthly aggregations. |

Next steps after scaffolding

cd my-app
docker compose up -d   # start Mongo
npm start              # http://localhost:5050

Then open the project in Claude Code or Cursor — the MCP server is already wired and the agent guide lives at agent.md. Ask the agent to add a resource and watch it land via hot-reload.
