Scaffolding your first VanJS project in seconds!
Compatibility Note: Vite requires Node.js version 18+, 20+, 22+. However, some templates require a higher Node.js version to work, please upgrade if your package manager warns about it.
# NPM:
npm create vanjs@latest# PNPM:
pnpm create vanjs@latest# Deno:
deno run -A npm:create-vanjs@latest# Bun:
bun create vanjs@latestThen follow the prompts!
Note: if you execute the create command with other package manager than
npm, your project's package.json scripts will be updated to use that package
manager. (EG: bun create vanjs will rename scripts to bun run build).
You can use . for the project name to scaffold in the current directory.
# npm
npm create vanjs@latest .You can also directly specify the project name and the template you want to use via additional command line options. For example, to scaffold a basic Vite + VanJS project, run:
# npm
npm create vanjs@latest my-vanjs-app -- --template node-baseCurrently supported template presets include:
