8a0225e974 Dispatch root package.json hoisted deps and devDeps (#20140)
# Introduction
Dispatching root package.json devDeps, prod deps
Taking care of keeping non imported module used at build/ci level in the
root package.json

## Motivation
Avoid redundant deps declaration, better scoping allow better workspace
deps granularity installation.

Create Twenty App

NPM version License Join the community on Discord

The official scaffolding CLI for building apps on top of Twenty CRM. Sets up a ready-to-run project with twenty-sdk.

Quick start

npx create-twenty-app@latest my-twenty-app
cd my-twenty-app
yarn twenty dev

The scaffolder will:

  1. Create a new project with TypeScript, linting, tests, and a preconfigured twenty CLI
  2. Optionally start a local Twenty server (Docker)
  3. Open the browser for OAuth authentication

Options

Flag Description
--example <name> Initialize from an example
--name <name> Set the app name (skips the prompt)
--display-name <displayName> Set the display name (skips the prompt)
--description <description> Set the description (skips the prompt)
--skip-local-instance Skip the local server setup prompt

By default (no flags), a minimal app is generated with core files and an integration test. Use --example to start from a richer example:

npx create-twenty-app@latest my-twenty-app --example hello-world

Examples are sourced from twentyhq/twenty/packages/twenty-apps/examples.

Documentation

Full documentation is available at docs.twenty.com/developers/extend/apps:

Troubleshooting

  • Server not starting: check Docker is running (docker info), then try yarn twenty server logs.
  • Auth not working: make sure you are logged in to Twenty in the browser, then run yarn twenty remote add.
  • Types not generated: ensure yarn twenty dev is running — it auto-generates the typed client.
