Package Exports

create-near-app
create-near-app/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (create-near-app) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Create NEAR App

===============

Quickly build apps backed by the NEAR blockchain

Prerequisites

Make sure you have a current version of Node.js installed – we are targeting versions 16+.

Read about other prerequisites in our docs.

Getting Started

To create a new NEAR project run this and follow interactive prompts:

npx create-near-app

If you've previously installed create-near-app globally via npm install -g create-near-app, please uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-near-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

Follow the instructions in the README.md in the project you just created! 🚀

You can create contracts written in:

JavaScript
Rust
AssemblyScript

You can create a frontend template in:

React
Vanilla JavaScript

For testing we use a sandboxed environment of NEAR (called Workspaces). You can write the tests in JavaScript or Rust.

Using CLI arguments to run `create-near-app`

This CLI supports arguments to skip interactive prompts:

npx create-near-app
  <project-name>
  --contract js|rust|assemblyscript
  --frontend vanilla|react|none
  --tests js|rust
  --install

Use --install to automatically install dependencies from all package.json files.

When using arguments, all arguments are required, except for --install.

Contributing to `create-near-app`

To make changes to create-near-app itself:

clone the repository (Windows users, use git clone -c core.symlinks=true)
in your terminal, enter one of the folders inside templates, such as templates/vanilla
now you can run npm install to install dependencies and npm run dev to run the local development server, just like you can in a new app created with create-near-app

About commit messages

create-near-app uses semantic versioning and auto-generates nice release notes & a changelog all based off of the commits. We do this by enforcing Conventional Commits. In general the pattern mostly looks like this:

type(scope?): subject  #scope is optional; multiple scopes are supported (current delimiter options: "/", "\" and ",")

Real world examples can look like this:

chore: run tests with GitHub Actions

fix(server): send cors headers

feat(blog): add comment section

If your change should show up in release notes as a feature, use feat:. If it should show up as a fix, use fix:. Otherwise, you probably want refactor: or chore:. More info

Deploy `create-near-app`

If you want to deploy a new version, you will need two prerequisites:

Get publish-access to the NPM package
Get write-access to the GitHub repository
Obtain a personal access token (it only needs the "repo" scope).
Make sure the token is available as an environment variable called GITHUB_TOKEN

Then run one script:

npm run release

Or just release-it
