The"T3 Stack" is a web development stack made byTheo focused onsimplicity,modularity, andfull-stack typesafety. It consists of:

• Next.js
• tRPC
• Tailwind CSS
• TypeScript
• Prisma
• Drizzle
• NextAuth.js

Kind of?create-t3-app is a CLI built by seasoned T3 Stack devs to streamline the setup of a modular T3 Stack app. This means each piece is optional, and the "template" is generated based on your specific needs.

After countless projects and many years on this tech, we have lots of opinions and insights. We’ve done our best to encode them into this CLI.

This isNOT an all-inclusive template. Weexpect you to bring your own libraries that solve the needs ofYOUR application. While we don’t want to prescribe solutions to more specific problems like state management and deployment, wedo have some recommendations listed here.

We'll be frank - this is anopinionated project. We share a handful of core beliefs around building and we treat them as the basis for our decisions.

It's easy to fall into the trap of "adding everything" - we explicitlydon't want to do that. Everything added tocreate-t3-app should solve aspecific problem that exists within the core technologies included. This means wewon't add things like state libraries (zustand,redux) but wewill add things like NextAuth.js and integrate Prisma and tRPC for you.

We love our bleeding edge tech. The amount of speed and, honestly,fun that comes out of new shit is really cool. We think it's important tobleed responsibly, using riskier tech in the less risky parts. This means wewouldn't ⛔️ bet on risky new database tech (SQL is great!). But wehappily ✅ bet on tRPC since it's just functions that are trivial to move off.

The stated goal ofcreate-t3-app is to provide the quickest way to start a new full-stack, typesafe web application. We take typesafety seriously in these parts as it improves our productivity and helps us ship fewer bugs. Any decision that compromises the typesafe nature ofcreate-t3-app is a decision that should be made in a different project.

To scaffold an app usingcreate-t3-app, run any of the following four commands and answer the command prompt questions:

npm create t3-app@latest

yarn create t3-app

pnpm create t3-app@latest

bun create t3-app@latest
