Official Generators

Create Preset passes the project name to the selected official CLI, which handles configuration and dependency installation.

Supported generators

The table shows the pnpm commands:

Preset	`--from` ID	Package manager command
Official Vue Starter	`vue`	`pnpm create vue <project>`
Nuxt	`nuxt`	`pnpm create nuxt <project>`
Official Vite CLI	`vite`	`pnpm create vite <project>`
Official Next.js Starter	`next-app`	`pnpm create next-app <project>`
Official React Router	`react-router`	`pnpm create react-router <project>`
Official Astro Starter	`astro`	`pnpm create astro <project>`
Official Expo App	`expo-app`	`pnpm create expo-app <project>`
Official SvelteKit Starter	`svelte`	`pnpm dlx sv create <project>`

<project> is replaced with the supplied project name.

For SvelteKit, use --from svelte; the generator package it launches is sv. Run preset --list to inspect the available IDs, including private presets.

Choose a package manager

Use --package-manager to select pnpm, npm, Yarn, or Bun. For example, create a Next.js project with pnpm:

Bash

preset init dashboard --from next-app --package-manager pnpm

This selects the package manager that launches the generator. Its prompts, warnings, and update notices appear directly in the terminal.

Without --package-manager, Create Preset detects the package manager from the current npm user agent and falls back to npm. Use --dry-run to inspect the selected command without launching it:

Bash

preset init dashboard --from next-app --package-manager pnpm --dry-run
