# Create Better-T-Stack CLI
A modern CLI tool for scaffolding end-to-end type-safe TypeScript projects with best practices and customizable configurations
## Quick Start
Run without installing globally:
```bash
# Using npm
npx create-better-t-stack@latest
# Using bun
bun create better-t-stack@latest
# Using pnpm
pnpm create better-t-stack@latest
```
Follow the prompts to configure your project or use the `--yes` flag for defaults.
## Features
- **TypeScript**: End-to-end type safety.
- **Monorepo Structure**: Choose between Turborepo for optimized builds or standard pnpm/npm/bun workspaces.
- **Frontend Options**:
- React with Vite: TanStack Router, React Router, or TanStack Start.
- Next.js (Full-stack or frontend-only).
- Nuxt (Vue framework).
- SvelteKit.
- React Native with Expo for mobile apps.
- None.
- **UI**: Tailwind CSS with shadcn/ui components pre-configured.
- **Backend Frameworks**: Choose between Hono, Express, Elysia, or use Next.js API routes.
- **API Layer**: End-to-end type safety with tRPC or oRPC.
- **Runtime Options**: Choose between Bun or Node.js for your server.
- **Database Options**: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or no database.
- **ORM Selection**: Choose between Drizzle ORM (TypeScript-first), Prisma (feature-rich), or no ORM.
- **Database Setup**: Optional automated setup for Turso (SQLite), Neon (Postgres), Prisma Postgres (Supabase), or MongoDB Atlas.
- **Authentication**: Optional auth setup using Better-Auth (email/password, OAuth coming soon).
- **Addons**:
- **PWA**: Add Progressive Web App support.
- **Tauri**: Build native desktop applications.
- **Starlight**: Add an Astro-based documentation site.
- **Biome**: Integrated linting and formatting.
- **Husky**: Git hooks for code quality checks (lint-staged).
- **Turborepo**: Optimized monorepo build system.
- **Examples**: Include pre-built examples like a Todo app or an AI Chat interface (using Vercel AI SDK).
- **Developer Experience**:
- Automatic Git initialization.
- Choice of package manager (npm, pnpm, bun).
- Optional automatic dependency installation.
