Description

As a Developer create apps with create-vite, I want to specify a file path in the first parameter and then have the project name automatically set from the last part of that path, i.e. the path.basename() of that path. So for a command like this:

npm create vite ../../myfolder/myapp -- --template react

The project name should be set to "myapp", with no further prompting of the user.

At present, if create-vite detects a path in the first parameter then it will prompt for the project name, offering a default of something like "-myapp".

Suggested solution

Should be able to implement in file packages/create-vite/src/index.ts, by changing the getProjectName function from this:

const getProjectName = () =>
    targetDir === '.' ? path.basename(path.resolve()) : targetDir

to this:

  const getProjectName = () => path.basename(path.resolve(targetDir))

Alternative

No response

Additional context

This is how create-react-app behaves, so would help smooth the path to create-vite for create-react-app refugees (like me!).
