Architecture

create-svelte is a minimal package consisting of:

• Migration Notice: Directs users to the replacement sv package
• No API Surface: Provides no programmatic interface or functions

Capabilities

CLI Command Execution

The package provides a single command-line interface that displays a deprecation message.

# Command: npm create svelte
# Command: npx create-svelte
# Output: "'npm create svelte' has been replaced with 'npx sv create'"

Behavior:

• Displays deprecation warning message
• Terminates immediately after displaying the message
• Does not create any projects or perform any scaffolding operations

$ npm create svelte
'npm create svelte' has been replaced with 'npx sv create'

Migration Information

Deprecation Status

• Status: Deprecated as of version 7.0.1
• Replacement: sv package
• Migration Path: Use npx sv create instead of npm create svelte

Historical Context

create-svelte was previously the official tool for scaffolding new SvelteKit applications. It provided:

• Project template selection
• TypeScript configuration options
• Development tool setup
• SvelteKit application initialization

All of this functionality has been moved to the sv package, which provides an improved developer experience and additional features.

Types

This package does not export any types, interfaces, or classes. It is a pure CLI tool with no programmatic API.

Error Handling

The package does not throw any errors or exceptions. It simply outputs the deprecation message and exits successfully.
