Create Robo
Start new Robo.js projects and plugins.
The create-robo interactive CLI scaffolds new Robo.js projects and plugins. It is a standalone tool that guides you through setup without adding any dependencies to your project.
New Robo
Create a project named "my-awesome-robo":
npx create-robo@next my-awesome-roboYarn Node Linker Configuration
Yarn users will need to configure the nodeLinker by setting the YARN_NODE_LINKER variable to node-modules.
When using Windows you may encounter an npm error like this:
npx : File C:\Program Files\nodejs\npx.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.If you receive this error, see Windows Execution Policies for a solution.
The CLI walks you through three steps:
- TypeScript or JavaScript
- Select features (ESLint, Prettier, Plugins)
- Enter your Discord token and client ID (or press Enter to skip and edit
.envlater)
New Plugin
To create a plugin project, run the CLI with the --plugin flag:
npx create-robo@next my-awesome-plugin --pluginThis guides you through two steps:
- TypeScript or JavaScript
- Select features (ESLint, Prettier)
