create-user

A tiny CLI to scaffold a basic user app with login.ts, logout.ts, and register.ts files. It creates a new directory, writes a minimal package.json, and prints next steps.

Install

• Using pnpm (recommended):

pnpm dlx create-user my-user-app

• Using npx:

npx create-user my-user-app

Replace my-user-app with your desired project name. If no name is provided, it defaults to my-user-app.

Usage

• Create a new app in the current directory:

pnpm dlx create-user my-app
# or
npx create-user my-app

This will:

• Create a folder named my-app
• Generate package.json
• Create the files: login.ts, logout.ts, register.ts
• Print next steps (cd, install, start)

Generated structure

my-app/
  package.json
  login.ts
  logout.ts
  register.ts

Next steps (after generation)

cd my-app
pnpm install
pnpm start

pnpm start runs node login.js per the generated package.json. Adjust as needed for your workflow.

Local development (inside this monorepo)

Run the CLI from source during development:

• Dev (ts-node):

pnpm --filter create-user dev -- my-temp-app

• Build and run the compiled CLI:

pnpm --filter create-user build
node packages/create-user/dist/index.js my-temp-app

Notes

• The CLI accepts a single positional argument for the project name. If omitted, it uses my-user-app.
• The bin entry points to dist/index.js, so when publishing, make sure to run a build first.

Troubleshooting

• If you see "command not found" for create-user, use pnpm dlx create-user <name> or ensure the package is installed globally.
• On Windows PowerShell, prepend node when running the compiled file directly, e.g. node packages/create-user/dist/index.js my-app.
