What create-faster adds

Beyond a bare Node.js setup, we include:

TypeScript Configuration:

• ES2022 target with ESNext modules and bundler resolution
• Strict mode with additional safety checks (noFallthroughCasesInSwitch, noUncheckedIndexedAccess, noImplicitOverride)
• Path alias (@/* mapped to src/*)
• Turborepo-aware: extends shared @repo/config in monorepo setups

Development Scripts:

• dev - Hot reload development server (bun run --hot)
• start - Production server (bun run src/index.ts)

Files created:

src/
└── index.ts                # Entry point

tsconfig.json               # TypeScript configuration
package.json                # Dependencies and scripts

Use Cases

Node.js is the simplest server stack -- a clean slate for:

• Plain TypeScript servers (no web framework)
• Worker or cron job apps in a turborepo
• Lambda function handlers
• Background processing services

For HTTP APIs, consider Hono instead.

Compatible Modules

No compatible create-faster modules. This stack is intentionally minimal.
