create-ifc-lite

Scaffolds an IFClite project in seconds. One command, working code.

Usage

npx create-ifc-lite <project-name> [--template <type>]

That's it — no install step. The scaffolder picks basic if you don't pass a template.

Templates

# Minimal TypeScript project — parse an IFC file from a script
npx create-ifc-lite my-app
cd my-app && npm install && npm run parse ./model.ifc

# WebGPU 3D viewer (React + Vite + drag-and-drop)
npx create-ifc-lite my-viewer --template react
cd my-viewer && npm install && npm run dev

# Three.js (WebGL) viewer
npx create-ifc-lite my-viewer --template threejs

# Babylon.js (WebGL) viewer
npx create-ifc-lite my-viewer --template babylonjs

# Backend server (Rust binary, runs in Docker)
npx create-ifc-lite my-backend --template server

# Backend server (native binary, no Docker)
npx create-ifc-lite my-backend --template server-native

| Template | What you get | Stack | |---|---|---| | basic (default) | Minimal CLI parser | TypeScript + @ifc-lite/parser | | react | WebGPU 3D viewer with drag-and-drop, hierarchy, properties | React + Vite + WebGPU | | threejs | Three.js (WebGL) viewer | Three.js + Vite | | babylonjs | Babylon.js (WebGL) viewer | Babylon.js + Vite | | server | IFC parsing server (Docker) | Rust + Docker Compose | | server-native | IFC parsing server (no Docker) | Rust binary via @ifc-lite/server-bin |

Each template ships with a README.md documenting what it does and how to extend it.
