✨ Create Trigger - Get started writing Trigger.dev code quickly
Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy to create event-driven background tasks directly your codebase.
You can run these tasks (or "workflows" as we like to cal them) in your existing Node.js repo, but if you don't have one of those (👋 Next.js devs) or you just want to try us out without the setup, this create-trigger
CLI will scaffold out a project for you in just a few seconds, either starting from scratch or using one of our many templates.
💻 Usage
To scaffold out a new project using create-trigger
, run any of the following three commands and answer the prompts:
npm
npm create trigger@latest
yarn
yarn create trigger
pnpm
pnpm create trigger@latest
You can also specify the template you want to use by passing an argument to the command, like so:
npm create trigger@latest github-stars-to-slack
