Initiate Preact projects from different starting points, fast and easy.
This tool makes use of preact-roller, a Rollup/Bublé alternative to preact-cli, to start new Preact projects.
Preact Init is highly inspired by create-react-app and vue-cli and tries to merge good ideas from both approaches while keeping it as simple as possible.
If Rollup or Bublé aren't your thing, I recommend you to look at preact-cli.
- Begin Preact projects from different starting points (templates).
- Templates can be installed from public or private Git repositories.
- One-command option:
preact-init
Preact Init requires at least Node 6 but an 8 version is highly recommended.
Install it once globally:
npm install -g preact-init
There’s only 1 command that you can run in 3 different ways:
preact-init- Assists you to start a new Preact project.preact-init <project-name>- Starts a project with a custom name and default template.preact-init <project-name> <template-repo>- Starts a project with a custom name from a specific repo.
template-repo must follow the shorthand repo notation of download-git-repo. Example:
github:churris/preact-simple-template
Additionally, you can pass the available options:
| Options | Alias | Description |
|---|---|---|
--ssh |
-s |
Clones the template repo with SSH |
--help |
-h |
Shows additional help |
--version |
-v |
Shows the version of preact-init |
Example: preact-init my-app -s
