Create Express Buddy

create-express-buddy is a CLI tool for generating a Node.js, Express project template.

Compatibility Note:

This package requires Node.js version 18+, 20+. However, some templates require a higher Node.js version to work, please upgrade if your package manager warns about it.

With NPM:

$ npm create express-buddy@latest

With Yarn:

$ yarn create express-buddy

Then follow the prompts!

You can also directly specify the project name and project/template either javascript or typescript type you want to use via additional command line options. For example, to scaffold a new express-buddy project, run:

# npm 7+, extra double-dash "--" is needed:
npm create express-buddy@latest [app-name] -- --template js|ts

Example

npm create express-buddy@latest my-express-app -- --template js

This will create a new directory called my-express-app with the project template for the express app and --template js will create the project using javascript

Getting Started

After creating the project, navigate to the project directory and initialize it:

cd my-express-app
npm run init
npm run dev
