init

deno-init initializes a Deno configuration file from the command line.

Previous versions also initialized entrypoints, but that functionality has been moved to a different project. From v2 onwards this module is purely for generating config.

Installation

deno install --allow-read --allow-write -fn deno-init https://deno.land/x/init@v2.3.0/mod.ts

Usage

Make a config file based on a number of prompts:

deno-init

Skip the prompts, use all defaults:

deno-init --yes

Add every possible option in comments (as a .jsonc file)

deno-init --fill

Options

--help or -h will print the CLI documentation to the terminal.

--yes or -y will skip the prompts and initialize the file in the current working directory with default values:

deno-init --yes

--fill or -i will create a deno.jsonc config file with all the possible configuration options listed as comments. This style is very similar to the output of tsc --init for generating a tsconfig.json.

deno-init --fill

--fmt or -m will add a fmt section only.

deno-init --fmt

--lint or -l will add a lint section only.

deno-init --lint

--tsconfig or -t will add a compilerOptions section only.

deno-init --tsconfig

--name or -n will use a non-default name for the config file. The default name is deno.json. Note that using a non-default name may prevent config file auto-discovery.

deno-init --name config.json

--force or -f will allow overwriting an existing config file.
