## Usage

```sh
npx sv create [options] [path]
```

## Options

### `--from-playground <url>`

Create a SvelteKit project from a [playground](/playground) URL. This downloads all playground files, detects external dependencies, and sets up a complete SvelteKit project structure with everything ready to go.

Example:

```sh
npx sv create --from-playground="https://svelte.dev/playground/hello-world"
```

### `--template <name>`

Which project template to use:

- `minimal` — barebones scaffolding for your new app
- `demo` — showcase app with a word guessing game that works without JavaScript
- `library` — template for a Svelte library, set up with `svelte-package`
  <!-- TODO: JYC: Uncomment this when the addon template is ready -->
  <!-- - `addon` — template for a community add-on, ready to be tested & published -->

### `--types <option>`

Whether and how to add typechecking to the project:

- `ts` — default to `.ts` files and use `lang="ts"` for `.svelte` components
- `jsdoc` — use [JSDoc syntax](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/jsdoc-supported-types.html) for types

### `--no-types`

Prevent typechecking from being added. Not recommended!

### `--add [add-ons...]`

Add add-ons to the project in the `create` command. Following the same format as [sv add](sv-add#Usage).

Example:

```sh
npx sv create --add eslint prettier [path]
```

### `--no-add-ons`

Run the command without the interactive add-ons prompt

### `--install <package-manager>`

Installs dependencies with a specified package manager:

- `npm`
- `pnpm`
- `yarn`
- `bun`
- `deno`

### `--no-install`

Prevents installing dependencies.

### `--no-dir-check`

Skip checking whether the target directory is empty.Age0Content-Dispositioninline; filename="llms.txt"Content-Typetext/plain; charset=utf-8DateMon, 23 Feb 2026 10:43:13 GMTEtag$W/"58a449c33cbccc163151507269679cf7"ServerVercelX-Vercel-CacheHITX-Vercel-Id&fra1::n4kbf-1771843393676-be24b4804de2Access-Control-Allow-Origin*Cache-Control"public, max-age=0, must-revalidateLast-ModifiedMon, 23 Feb 2026 10:43:13 GMTStrict-Transport-Securitymax-age=63072000 
