@drkmttr/create

The Darkmatter template index for Vite+. vp create @drkmttr reads the createConfig.templates list in package.json and offers those templates in a picker. The Vite+ built-in templates always appear at the end of that picker.

Use

vp create @drkmttr            # pick a template
vp create @drkmttr:monorepo   # use one template directly
vp create @drkmttr --no-interactive   # print the template list

To make vp create (no argument) open this picker inside a repo, add this to the repo's root vite.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from "vite-plus";

export default defineConfig({
  create: { defaultTemplate: "@drkmttr" },
});

Templates

Name	Source
monorepo	darkmatter/template

Add a template

Add an entry to createConfig.templates in package.json. Each entry needs a kebab-case name, a one-line description, and a template source:

• github:darkmatter/<repo> for a template kept in its own public repo.
• ./templates/<name> for a template kept in this package. Also add templates to files so it is published. Vite+ copies the directory as-is and renames _gitignore and _npmrc to their dotfile names.

Set "monorepo": true on templates that create a whole repo. Vite+ hides those when vp create runs inside an existing monorepo.

Vite+ fails with an error when the list is invalid. To check a change before publishing, publish it to a local registry such as Verdaccio, point the scope at it with an .npmrc line like @drkmttr:registry=http://127.0.0.1:4873/, and run vp create @drkmttr --no-interactive next to that .npmrc.

Vite+ converts every scaffolded project to Vite+: it adds vite.config.ts, rewrites lint, format, and test scripts to vp, and installs vite-plus. Templates must still install and build after that conversion.

Release

Bump version in package.json, then push a matching v<version> tag. The Publish to npm workflow publishes the package with provenance through npm trusted publishing, so the package must have darkmatter/create and the publish.yml workflow registered as its trusted publisher on npmjs.com.
