Create Effect App (Release)

We are thrilled to announce the release of a brand new command-line tool for the Effect-TS ecosystem - create-effect-app!

This handy tool streamlines the process of setting up new Effect projects, allowing you to quickly bootstrap either an official Effect example or a project template with Effect and all our recommended developer tooling pre-configured for you.

Why create-effect-app?

Setting up a new Effect project can involve several steps, including creating folders, installing dependencies, and configuring tools. create-effect-app eliminates the boilerplate, allowing you to worry less about project configuration and focus instead on writing application code.

For complete documentation, see the project’s README.
