create-react-equalizer

create-react-equalizer is an interactive command-line scaffolder that spins up an opinionated React + Vite project with the tooling and integrations you actually use. Pick your package manager, styling system, data layer, state management, and quality tools so Equalizer wires them together and you can start shipping right away.

Highlights

• Guided CLI wizard built with @clack/prompts, no arguments required.
• React-first: always scaffolds React + Vite with optional TypeScript.
• Tailored dependencies for styling, data fetching, state, and tooling choices. Equalizer generates the install commands and runs them for you.
• Tailwind automation: wires Tailwind into your React project when selected.
• Immersive experience with a colorful banner, animated progress spinners, and tip overlays.
• Blueprint summary with follow-up tasks and suggested project structure.

Quick Start

npx create-react-equalizer@latest
# or
pnpm dlx create-react-equalizer
# or
yarn dlx create-react-equalizer
# or
bunx create-react-equalizer

Follow the prompts to choose:

• Package manager (pnpm, npm, yarn, bun)
• TypeScript preference
• Styling, data, state, and tooling layers

You can press Ctrl+C at any time to abort the wizard; Equalizer stops cleanly without leaving partial installs behind.

Equalizer runs the appropriate create-* command, installs runtime and dev dependencies, and sets up Tailwind when requested. When the wizard finishes you receive a summary of commands executed, follow-up tasks, and the resulting architecture.

What You Get

• A React + Vite project scaffolded with the official CLI.
• Dependencies added based on your selections (for example Axios, TanStack Query, Redux Toolkit, ESLint, Vitest, MSW, and more).
• Post-install scripts (such as Tailwind wiring) executed in the project directory.
• Structured directory recommendations to help maintain consistency across projects.

FAQ

Can I pass flags instead of using the wizard?
Not yet. The CLI currently focuses on an interactive flow; flag support is on the roadmap.

Does it support custom templates?
Custom presets are not available today, but contributions are welcome. Open an issue with your use case.
