starter-structure-cli

Scaffold starter projects from stack combinations like react vite ts tailwind express prisma mysql.

starter-structure-cli supports direct template selection, interactive prompts, and natural stack queries. It ships with frontend, backend, fullstack, and monorepo starters built from layered template sources.

Installation

Run with npx:

npx starter-structure-cli my-app

Or use the standard npm create flow:

npm create starter-structure-cli@latest my-app
