What problem does it solve?
It solves the setup friction of starting a PixiJS v8 project by guiding you through the correct create-pixi CLI commands, template selection, and post-scaffold workflow so you can begin rendering quickly without configuration guesswork.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scaffold with create-pixi: Supports npm/yarn/pnpm/bun flows for creating a new PixiJS v8 project with interactive or non-interactive CLI usage, including the required npm 7+ argument separator.
- Pick the right template preset: Covers bundler templates (e.g., bundler-vite, bundler-webpack, bundler-esbuild, bundler-import-map), creation templates (e.g., creation-web), framework templates (e.g., framework-react), and extension templates (e.g., extension-default).
- Add PixiJS to existing projects: Provides the correct direct-install path (npm install pixi.js) and how it complements template scaffolding.
Quick Start
Use the command npm create pixi.js@latest my-game -- --template bundler-vite to scaffold a new TypeScript PixiJS v8 project, then run the template’s dev server to start building.
