Create HTML Boilerplate

Generate a vanilla HTML/CSS boilerplate in a flash! ⚡

Quick Overview

npx create-html-boilerplate my-app
cd my-app

If you've previously installed create-html-boilerplate globally via npm install -g create-html-boilerplate, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-html-boilerplate to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

(npx comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)

By using an extension like Live Server on VSCode, you can view the file live at http://localhost:5500/

Creating an App

You’ll need to have Node 8.16.0 or Node 10.16.0 or later version on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). You can use nvm (macOS/Linux) or nvm-windows to switch Node versions between different projects.

To create a new app, you may choose one of the following methods:

npx

npx create-html-boilerplate my-app

(npx is a package runner tool that comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)

npm

npm create-html-boilerplate -g
create-html-boilerplate my-app

Once you've created the boilerplate, cd into your project by running the follwing command:

cd my-app

Get Started Immediately

Don't need all the crazy frameworks and tools? Start fresh with a minimal HTML, CSS, and Javascript folder structure.

By running the simple CLI, you can generate a folder structure like so:

my-app
├── index.html
├── styles
│   ├── main.css
├── scripts
│   ├── main.js
