Scaffold a new AdonisJS application using starter kits

Starter kits

You can use between one of the following official starter kits, or bring your own using the --kit flag.

api : AdonisJS application tailored for building HTTP APIs.
web : AdonisJS application tailored for building server-side rendered applications.
slim : Smallest possible AdonisJS application. Still way more powerful and batteries included than a express application.

Usage

# Using npm
npm init adonisjs

# Using yarn
yarn create adonisjs

# Using pnpm
pnpm create adonisjs

Options

`destination`

You can pass the destination directory as the first argument to the command. For example:

npm init adonisjs my-app

This argument is optional and the command will prompt you to enter the directory name if not provided.

Note - The directory must be empty otherwise the command will fail.

`--kit`

If you want to use your own starter kit hosted on Github, Gitlab, or Bitbucket, you can use the --kit flag to define the repo URL.

npm init adonisjs -- -K="github:github_user/repo"

# Download from GitLab
npm init adonisjs -- -K="gitlab:user/repo"

# Download from BitBucket
npm init adonisjs -- -K="bitbucket:user/repo"

You can also pass specify the branch or tag name as follows:

# Branch name
npm init adonisjs -- -K="github:github_user/repo#branch-name"

# Tag name
npm init adonisjs -- -K="github:github_user/repo#v1.0.0"

`--token`

If you are using a custom starter kit hosted on a private repository, then you can pass the authentication token as follows:

npm init adonisjs -- -K="github:github_user/repo" -t="github_token"

`--pkg`

We are trying to detect the package manager used by your project. However, if you want to force a specific package manager, then you can pass it as follows:

npm init adonisjs -- --pkg="yarn"

Other options

Option	Description
`--skip-install`	Skip installing dependencies.
`--skip-git-init`	Skip initializing git repository.
