In addition to the following output:

➜  ~ npx create-grandstack-app myap
  ✔ Create GRANDstack App
    ✔ Creating directory '/Users/lyonwj/myap'
    ✔ Downloading latest release
    ✔ Extracting latest release
  ✔ Installing Packages
    ✔ Checking compatibility
    ✔ Installing dependencies for 'api'
    ✔ Installing dependencies for 'ui-react'

Thanks for trying out GRANDstack! We've created your app in '/Users/lyonwj/myap'
You can find documentation at: https://grandstack.io/docs

add additional instructions for

• how to install / configure Neo4j (recommend Neo4j Sandbox)
• how to populate .ENV
• how to start the api and ui applications
• ?? what else?

Allow the user to specify credentials to a Neo4j instance which are then used to populate the /api/.env file

This could be done interactively (with defaults) or as command line args

Currently dependencies are installed with yarn, regardless of being invoked with

yarn create grandstack-app myapp

or

npx create-grandstack-app mynewapp3

so add a --use-npm flag to install dependencies with npm instead of yarn.

Similar to: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/pull/3409/files

Error: node >=12.0.0 required, but found 12.9.1
yarn >=1.15.0 required, but found 1.13.0

Currently if yarn is available but outdated then the fallback to npm fails. Instead of erroring after version check, try fallback to npm

Nowadays, most people use TypeScript, so I highly recommend to add --template flag to the user be able to choose between JavaScript and TypeScript

Add an option for no front-end template, only the API application

Replace hardcoded business schema

The starter currently includes frontend implementations in React and Angular located in ./ui-react and ./ui-angular respectively. Currently, both directories are included when running create-grandstack-app but only the dependencies for React are installed by default.

Instead, add options to create-grandstack-app to specify which frontend implementations should be included.

Perhaps something like:

npx create-grandstack-app --use-react --use-angular

Add more descriptions about the starter

• Information about the business reviews example
• How to seed db on an empty database
