This package contains the @coinbase/create-cdp-app CLI command, which allows developers to quickly bootstrap a React App using the CDP Web SDK.

Quickstart

This guide will help you get started with @coinbase/create-cdp-app. You’ll learn how to create a new CDP-enabled React application with just a few commands.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have one of the following package managers installed: Gather your project ID and whitelist your app from the CDP Portal:
  1. Sign in or create an account on the CDP Portal
  2. Copy your Project ID from the dashboard
  3. Go to the Embedded Wallets CORS settings
  4. Click add origin and whitelist http://localhost:3000 (or wherever your app will run)

Create Your First CDP App

You can create a new CDP app using any of these methods:
# Using pnpm
pnpm create @coinbase/cdp-app

# Using npm

The CLI will guide you through the setup process:
