Local testing

To verify the generator before publishing:

1. Run npm pack in this repository to produce a tarball (for example create-tinker-stack-0.2.11.tgz).
2. Run the generator from this repository, passing a target directory as a positional argument:

npx --yes create-tinker-stack@file://$(pwd)/create-tinker-stack-0.2.11.tgz my-project

This scaffolds a clean starter into ./my-project with the example bundles.

The generator prompts for the app title. To run fully non-interactive (for scripts and CI), pass the title as a flag:

npx --yes create-tinker-stack@file://$(pwd)/create-tinker-stack-0.2.11.tgz --title "My Project" my-project

Setting the CI environment variable also skips the prompt and falls back to the title Demo Title.

The example is placed in my-project/examples/react-router/ and is independent of the root workspace.

Notes

• $(pwd) must be run from the repository root where the tarball was produced.
• npm create does not currently support file: specifiers, so npx must be used.
• Omit the target directory argument to scaffold into the current working directory.
