Create a Project

Run the official project creation command:

pnpm create routa-ts@latest

By default, the scaffolder creates a TypeScript Routa app with route examples, Biome configuration, OpenAPI baseline files, and scripts for checking, building, and running the API.

What It Creates

TypeScript app structure
Routa route examples
Biome configuration
Scripts for checking and building the API
OpenAPI baseline and generated metadata files

After Creation

Enter the project directory.
Terminal window
```
cd routa-app
```
Install dependencies if you did not pass --install.
Terminal window
```
pnpm install
```
Run the development server.
Terminal window
```
pnpm dev
```

Generated apps follow this shape:

biome.json
Directorysrc/
- routa.ts
- Directoryroutes/
  - Directorystatus/
    route.ts
    schemas.ts
Directory.routa/
- manifest.json
- openapi-baseline.json
- routes.gen.ts
openapi.yaml
package.json
tsconfig.json

Use the generated routes as the starting point for your HTTP contract.
