# Create a new project

To scaffold the project with the CLI, run the following commands. This will create a new project directory, and populate the directory with the initial core Ts.ED files and supporting modules, creating a conventional base structure for your project. Creating a new project with the CLI is recommended for first-time users.

npm install -g @tsed/cli
tsed init .

See our CLI website (opens new window) for more details on the CLI commands.

You can select different options to generate your first application:

  • The web framework: Express.js / Koa.js
  • The convention project architecture: Ts.ED or Feature
  • The convention file styling: Ts.ED or Angular
  • The features:
    • Graphql,
    • Database,
    • Passport.js,
    • Socket.io,
    • Swagger,
    • OIDC,
    • Testing (Jest/Mocha),
    • Linter (Eslint, prettier),
    • Bundler (Babel/Webpack),
  • The Package manager: NPM, Yarn or PNPM

TIP

By default, it's recommended to select the following options: Express, Ts.ED (convention), Swagger, Jest and Eslint + prettier.

When all options are selected, the CLI will generate all files. When it's done, run one of this command:

# Update dependencies

WARNING

If you have to upgrade Ts.ED dependencies, keep in mind this point:

It's really important to keep the same version for all @tsed/* (excepted @tsed/logger) packages. To prevent errors, fix the version for each Ts.ED packages:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@tsed/common": "6.10.0",
    "@tsed/di": "6.10.0",
    "@tsed/core": "6.10.0",
    "@tsed/exceptions": "6.10.0",
    "@tsed/plaftorm-express": "6.10.0",
    "@tsed/swagger": "6.10.0"
  }
}
