Before running the create-app
command, ensure that you have installed the Neon CLI .
If you have not authenticated with the neon auth command, running a Neon CLI command automatically launches the Neon CLI browser authentication process. Alternatively, you can specify a Neon API key using the --api-key
option when running a command. See Connect .
The create-app
command initializes a new Neon project with a primary database branch (for deployment) and a development database branch and bootstraps a full-stack application using your preferred package manager. The command supports the following stack components:
Package Manager : Choose from npm
, pnpm
, and bun
Frameworks : Next.js
(SvelteKit
and Nuxt.js
coming soon)
ORM : Drizzle
, Prisma
Authentication Framework : Auth.js
Deployment Platform : Choose from Vercel
and Cloudflare
Once deployed, the starter app is ready for you to begin building.
neon create-app
Only global options apply.
This example shows how the neon create-app
command bootstraps a full-stack application including a Neon project.
