The T3 Stack

The _"T3 Stack"_ is a web development stack made by [Theo](https://twitter.com/t3dotgg) focused on **simplicity**, **modularity**, and **full-stack typesafety**. It consists of:

- [Next.js](https://nextjs.org)
- [tRPC](https://trpc.io)
- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com)
- [TypeScript](https://typescriptlang.org)
- [Prisma](https://prisma.io)
- [Drizzle](https://orm.drizzle.team)
- [NextAuth.js](https://next-auth.js.org)

### So... what is `create-t3-app`? A template?

Kind of? `create-t3-app` is a CLI built by seasoned T3 Stack devs to streamline the setup of a modular T3 Stack app. This means each piece is optional, and the "template" is generated based on your specific needs.

After countless projects and many years on this tech, we have lots of opinions and insights. We’ve done our best to encode them into this CLI.

This is **NOT** an all-inclusive template. We **expect** you to bring your own libraries that solve the needs of **YOUR** application. While we don’t want to prescribe solutions to more specific problems like state management and deployment, we [do have some recommendations listed here](https://create.t3.gg/en/other-recs).

T3 Axioms

We'll be frank - this is an _opinionated project_. We share a handful of core beliefs around building and we treat them as the basis for our decisions.

### 1. Solve Problems

It's easy to fall into the trap of "adding everything" - we explicitly _don't_ want to do that. Everything added to `create-t3-app` should solve a _specific_ problem that exists within the core technologies included. This means we **won't** add things like state libraries (`zustand`, `redux`) but we **will** add things like NextAuth.js and integrate Prisma and tRPC for you.

### 2. Bleed Responsibly

We love our bleeding edge tech. The amount of speed and, honestly, _fun_ that comes out of new shit is really cool. We think it's important to **bleed responsibly**, using riskier tech in the less risky parts. This means we **wouldn't** ⛔️ bet on risky new database tech (SQL is great!). But we **happily** ✅ bet on tRPC since it's just functions that are trivial to move off.

### 3. Typesafety Isn't Optional

The stated goal of `create-t3-app` is to provide the quickest way to start a new full-stack, typesafe web application. We take typesafety seriously in these parts as it improves our productivity and helps us ship fewer bugs. Any decision that compromises the typesafe nature of `create-t3-app` is a decision that should be made in a different project.

Getting Started
