create-sails

An easy way to start a modern full-stack Sails project.

Usage

npx create-sails@latest <project-name>

or

npm init sails

Options

You can specify the frontend framework and template variant using flags:

# Use React with Mellow template (default)
npx create-sails@latest my-app --react

# Use React with Ascent template
npx create-sails@latest my-app --react --ascent

# Use Vue with Mellow template
npx create-sails@latest my-app --vue

# Use Svelte with Mellow template
npx create-sails@latest my-app --svelte

Note: Ascent template variants for Vue and Svelte are not yet available. Only --react --ascent is currently supported.

What you will get with this scaffolding:

• Inertia.js powered by inertia-sails
• Vue 3/React/Svelte setup depending on the frontend framework you choose.
• Tailwind CSS
• Webpack 5

Configuration

This scaffolding uses Webpack 5 for managing your Frontend assets. This is done via a project level hook called webpack which you can find in config/webpack.js. You can edit this file if you are familiar with Webpack or you want something more custom. But out of the box this should be good to go for 90% of projects.
