create

Composable, testable, type-safe templates. 💝

create is a new scaffolding engine for describing repository templates.

Danger

The create engine is only partially implemented. This site is “documentation-driven development”: writing the docs first, to help inform implementation.

The create engine combines the following layers:

1. Schemas: Option types and default values that will be used to scaffold a repository
2. Blocks: Generators for individual portions of a repository
3. Inputs: Standalone functions to read in dynamic data
4. Presets: Groups of blocks that form a repository base

Put together, create allows defining a repository generator akin to a create-next-app or create-typescript-app. The portions of create allow you to define the inputs to your repository generator, the individual pieces of the repository to be generated, and any preset configurations users can choose to start from. create will then generate an interactive CLI and full documentation website for you.
