add a template for npm or vite create app with options?

[jkone27]

npm/node devs are used to templates in npm create app for most of their scaffolding (they dont use dotnet cli usually), so maybe having also a template published with different options could help? thinking of react / vue / nextjs / solid as a start? would go only for react compatible for market reasons and ease of use with F#/Feliz...

• or alternatives... docs: add create-awesome-node-app vitejs/awesome-vite#693

That’s a great idea! Having a npm create template with multiple framework options (React, Vue, Next.js, Solid) would definitely improve developer experience, especially for those accustomed to create-vite and similar CLI tools.

Possible Approach

1. Scaffold a CLI Tool

   • A custom CLI like create-awesome-node-app could provide interactive prompts:

     npm create awesome-node-app@latest

   • Options could include:
     • Framework selection: React, Vue, Next.js, Solid
     • UI libraries: Tailwind, ShadCN, Ant Design
     • State management: Redux, Zustand, Jotai

2. Leverage create-vite for Vite-Based Projects

   • Instead of reinventing, extending create-vite might be an option:

     npm create vite@latest my-app --template react-ts

3. Integration with F#/Feliz

   • Given the focus on React compatibility, making it easy for F#/Feliz users to scaffold projects with best practices would be a great addition.
