Create Express App

A minimalist boilerplate generator for quickly setting up a new Express application — with your choice of language and an optional template engine.

Features

• Supports JavaScript and TypeScript
• Optional support for EJS or Handlebars
• Automatically installs dependencies using your preferred package manager (npm, pnpm, or yarn)
• Generates a clean, minimal project structure
