📖 Documentation

The documentation is available on fresh.deno.dev.

🚀 Getting started

Install Deno CLI version 1.25.0 or higher.

You can scaffold a new project by running the Fresh init script. To scaffold a project run the following:

deno run -A -r https://fresh.deno.dev

Then navigate to the newly created project folder:

cd deno-fresh-demo

From within your project folder, start the development server using the deno task command:

deno task start

Now open http://localhost:8000 in your browser to view the page. You make changes to the project source code and see them reflected in your browser.

To deploy the project to the live internet, you can use Deno Deploy:

Push your project to GitHub.
Create a Deno Deploy project.
Link the Deno Deploy project to the main.ts file in the root of the created repository.
The project will be deployed to a public $project.deno.dev subdomain.

For a more in-depth getting started guide, visit the Getting Started page in the Fresh docs.

Adding your project to the showcase

If you feel that your project would be helpful to other fresh users, please consider putting your project on the showcase. However, websites that are just for promotional purposes may not be listed.

To take a screenshot, run the following command.

deno task screenshot [url] [your-app-name]

Then add your site to showcase.json, preferably with source code on GitHub, but not required.
