The standalone extension creation engine for Extension.js. Use it to scaffold a new extension project from a template.

npm install extension-create

Create a new extension with a single function call:

import {extensionCreate} from 'extension-create'

// Create a basic extension (default template: javascript)
await extensionCreate('my-extension', {})

// Create a React extension and install its dependencies
// (dependency install is opt-in — users normally run their own
// `npm install` so output is what they expect)
await extensionCreate('my-react-extension', {
  template: 'react',
  install: true
})

Creates a new extension project with the specified configuration.

• projectName (string, required) - The name of your extension project
• options (object) - Configuration options
  • template (string, optional) - Template name or URL. Defaults to 'javascript' (init is an alias)
  • install (boolean, optional) - Whether to install dependencies after scaffolding. Defaults to false so project creation is fast and users see the familiar npm install output on their own.
  • cliVersion (string, optional) - CLI version for package.json

Templates are sourced from the public examples repository. Browse the catalog in the Extension.js examples and reference templates by name (for example, content, content-react, content-vue).
