Create-babylon-app, creating Babylon.js dev environment in a one command

Demos and projects

Hello, Babylonians :wave:.
I published a Node.js CLI named ‘create-babylon-app’.
This provides some templates (currently two) of Babylon.js development environments, and install them in a command.
You can run the following commands to launch dev server that hosting Babylon.js web application!
(also pnpm and yarn is supported)

# create a project from template
npm create babylon-app

# install dependencies
npm i

# launch dev server
npm run dev

I’ve added Vite-ts and Vite-js templates.
I assume that the webpack and some JS framework integration templates are in demand.

This is great, thanks!

I first came across the tutorial here Babylon.js docs
but got confused by the unusual folder structure - a parent folder then project subfolders.

So, they should replace that with this!

Welcome @bburnskm!

Honestly, thanks to @drumath2237 for the initiative but the scaffolded project is far from perfect.

@bburnskm you can find several boilerplate projects for babylon.js on GitHub:

https://github.com/search?q=babylonjs%20boilerplate&type=repositories

Choose the most recent and/or the one with the most stars.

Yes exactly, this is still a experimental and hobby project…(not 1.0)
I want to keep improving this!

Thank you so much. It is very helpful.
Could you tell me how to run with pnpm? It is new for me and I do not know how to do.

Thank you.
I tried and I got error message during pnpm install.
It was EE_PNPM_EBUSY, after rename …\core_tmp_8764 to …\core it worked.

Oh really, I couldn’t reproduce this on my environment.
My development environment is below.

  • Windows 10,11
  • pnpm v9.1.1 (I usually use pnpm)
  • Node.js 20.9.0

Does your pnpm works correctly for other projects?

Windows 11
pnpm v9.1.0
Node.js v18.16.0

It works correctly for other projects. It might be due to that my Node.js version is older than yours.

umm… I tried again with Node.js v18.17.1, but it worked correctly.
I’m sorry I have no idea how to fix it…
