# create-package

The `create-package` command creates a new Frontity package in a project. Launch this command from the root of the Frontity project

```
npx frontity create-package [package-name] [options]
```

## Arguments

### **`[package-name]`**

This argument sets the *name* of your Frontity package. The `create-package` command will create a folder named `[package-name]` under `packages`. It will also add the proper dependency in the `package.json` of your Frontity project

### **`[options]`**

|     `--no-prompt`     | Skips prompting the user for options. Related environment variable: [`FRONTITY_CREATE_PACKAGE_NAME`](#frontity_create_package_name). |

## Examples

## Environment Variables

### `FRONTITY_CREATE_PACKAGE_NAME`

If you pass the [`--no-prompt`](https://api.frontity.org/frontity-cli/..#no-prompt) flag to the [`create-package`](https://api.frontity.org/frontity-cli/create-commands/create-package), the CLI will use the name from this `FRONTITY_CREATE_PACKAGE_NAME` environment variable.

If the CLI cannot find a `FRONTITY_CREATE_PACKAGE_NAME` environmental variable, it will prompt for the name of the package

*Example:*

```
FRONTITY_CREATE_NAME=test-project
```

You can see a scheme of the whole workflow of using this `FRONTITY_CREATE_PACKAGE_NAME` environment variable in the [`--no-prompt`](https://api.frontity.org/frontity-cli/..#no-prompt) section
