Summary

  • add first-class Vite/Rsbuild bundler selection for React and Solid Start, including router-only scaffolds
  • generate bundler-specific config, scripts, dependencies, Tailwind integration, TypeScript types, and toolchain settings
  • persist the resolved bundler in .cta.json and include it in prompts, confirmation output, telemetry, docs, and scaffold skills
  • keep Vite as the default and preserve existing Vite output

Rsbuild compatibility

The initial Rsbuild surface supports standard and blank scaffolds, built-in starter examples, Tailwind, ESLint, and Biome. Templates, deployments, and catalog business/example add-ons are rejected before the target directory is written.

Testing

  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/create build
  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/cli build
  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/create test — 275 passed
  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/cli test — 114 passed
  • Rsbuild E2E smoke matrix — React/Solid Start standard and React/Solid router-only blank passed install, route generation, typecheck, production build, and dev-server checks
  • blocking E2E suite — all 7 scenarios passed locally; Playwright/Nx required interruption after reporter output during process teardown

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Rsbuild support for React and Solid project creation.
    • Added the --bundler option, with Vite remaining the default.
    • Added Rsbuild support for full Start and router-only scaffolds, including Tailwind and ESLint/Biome toolchains.
    • Added bundler-aware add-on selection and validation.
    • Included the selected bundler in generated projects and telemetry.
  • Documentation

    • Updated CLI references, quick starts, README content, and scaffolding guidance with bundler options, examples, and limitations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation to reject unsupported Rsbuild templates, deployments, and add-ons before creating project files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI and create packages add first-class Vite and Rsbuild selection. The change adds bundler validation, bundler-aware add-ons, React and Solid Rsbuild templates, package generation, telemetry, documentation, and automated coverage.

Changes

Bundler-aware project creation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bundler contracts and CLI selection
packages/create/src/bundlers.ts, packages/create/src/types.ts, packages/create/src/frameworks/*, packages/cli/src/*
The CLI accepts --bundler, resolves canonical bundler IDs, validates Rsbuild restrictions, updates telemetry, and exposes bundler selection APIs.
Option propagation and add-on validation
packages/create/src/add-ons.ts, packages/create/src/*create*.ts, packages/create/src/edge-*.ts, packages/create/src/worker.ts
Bundler values persist through creation, add-on listing and finalization filter unsupported entries, and node, edge, and worker paths normalize bundler options.
Bundler-specific project generation
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/*, packages/create/src/frameworks/solid/*, packages/create/src/package-json.ts, packages/create/src/edge-package-json.ts
React and Solid templates generate Vite or Rsbuild configuration, dependencies, scripts, TypeScript settings, Tailwind integration, and router-only output.
Documentation and validation
README.md, docs/*, packages/cli/skills/*, packages/cli/tests*/*, .changeset/*
Documentation describes bundler selection and Rsbuild limits. Unit, manifest, worker, edge, and browser smoke tests validate the generated projects and CLI behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5c775

Interactive Rsbuild creation may silently omit requested templates or add-ons, resulting in a project that differs from the user’s selected configuration; the Biome schema version mismatch can also produce misleading editor validation. The PR should receive explicit owner approval or corrective follow-up before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject explicit unsupported Rsbuild options.

An interactive invocation with --bundler rsbuild --template X or --add-ons X reaches Lines 123 and 210. The code skips the requested option and continues to create a project without it.

Reject cliOptions.starter, cliOptions.template, cliOptions.templateId, and cliOptions.addOns in the Rsbuild guard. This matches the non-interactive validation path and prevents a silently incorrect scaffold.

Proposed fix
   if (options.bundler === 'rsbuild') {
+    if (cliOptions.starter || cliOptions.template || cliOptions.templateId) {
+      throw new Error('Rsbuild does not currently support templates.')
+    }
+    if (Array.isArray(cliOptions.addOns) && cliOptions.addOns.length > 0) {
+      throw new Error(
+        'Rsbuild currently supports toolchains only. Use --toolchain eslint or --toolchain biome.',
+      )
+    }
     if (forcedAddOns.length > 0) {
       throw new Error('Rsbuild does not currently support forced add-ons.')
     }

Biome configuration schema package-local schema path 2.4.5 https://biomejs.dev/reference/configuration

💡 Result:

To use a local schema path for Biome configuration (version 2.4.5 and other versions), you can set the $schema field in your biome.json or biome.jsonc file to the relative path of the schema file provided within the @biomejs/biome package [1][2]. The recommended configuration for a local schema is: { "$schema": "./node_modules/@biomejs/biome/configuration_schema.json" } Using this local path allows your IDE to resolve the schema directly from your project's node_modules folder, which is beneficial for environments where offline access is preferred or to ensure that the schema version remains strictly tied to the version of Biome installed in your project [3][4][5]. Alternatively, you can point to the version-specific schema hosted on the official Biome website, such as: { "$schema": "https://biomejs.dev/schemas/2.4.5/schema.json" } Note that if you use the web-based URL, you should update it whenever you update the Biome CLI to ensure the configuration remains compatible with the latest tool features [6][5]. You can verify your installed version and manage configuration updates using the biome migrate command [6][4].

Citations:


Align the Biome schema with the pinned package version.

The generated configuration references schema 2.2.4, but the toolchain pins @biomejs/biome to 2.4.5. Use ./node_modules/@biomejs/biome/configuration_schema.json or update the URL to 2.4.5 so editor validation matches the CLI.
