🏗 create-svelte Without The Prompts

Warning This package is not supported nor endorsed by the maintainers of Svelte. If you experience any issues with it you should file them in this repository and not in the official SvelteKit repository.

The Svelte team has been very explicit about not adding CLI arguments to create-svelte for good reasons. See sveltejs/kit#6117 (comment)

create-svelte-with-args is a simple wrapper around the create-svelte package that allows you to specify the options as CLI arguments instead of using the interactive prompts.

This is useful if you want to automate the creation of SvelteKit projects, which can be pretty hard with interactive prompts.

Note If you do not need to create SvelteKit projects programmatically you probabvly just want to use the official create-svelte package instead of this one.

Usage

Run the CLi with

npm create svelte-with-args [args]

The arguments match one to one with the upstream programmatic create-svelte package. All arguments except `--directory´ are required.

Argument	Description	Type	Example
--name, -n	The name of the project	string	--name=my-new-app
--directory, -d	Optional. The directory to install the project in. Defaults to the project name	string	--directory=other-dir
--template, -t	The template to use	One of "default", "skeleton", "skeletonlib"	--template=default
--types, -y	How types will be written	One of "checkjs", "typescript", "null"	--types=checkjs
--prettier, -p	Whether prettier should be included	boolean	--prettier or --no-prettier
--eslint, -e	Whether eslint should be included	boolean	--eslint or --no-eslint
--playwright, -l	Whether playwright should be included	boolean	--playwright or --no-playwright
--vitest, -v	Whether vitest should be included	boolean	--vitest or --no-vitest
--svelte5, -5	If Svelte 5 beta should be used	boolean	--svelte5 or --no-svelte5

Examples

Create a default project called my-new-app that checks JS types with prettier but without eslint and playwright:

npm create svelte-with-args --name=my-new-app --template=default --types=checkjs --prettier --no-eslint --no-playwright --no-vitest --no-svelte5

Create a skeleton project without any type checking:

npm create svelte-with-args --name=my-new-app --template=skeleton --types=null --no-prettier --no-eslint --no-playwright  --no-vitest --no-svelte5
