What is Rack?

Rack is a modular project scaffolding tool based on a Registry architecture.

By combining different registries, you can quickly create and configure projects with the flexibility of building blocks.

Core Features

Rack provides the following core features through its registry architecture:

• Modular Configuration - Split tech stacks into independent registries that can be freely combined and reused
• Incremental Extension - Add new feature modules at any time after project initialization
• Dependency Management - Automatically handle dependencies and version conflicts between registries
• Enterprise Distribution - Support private registry sources for easy sharing and management of configurations within teams

Registry Mechanism

The core of Rack is the Registry. Each registry is a JSON configuration file that describes how a particular module of the tech stack should be configured: which npm packages to install, which config files to create, and which other registries it depends on or conflicts with.

When you run rk init or rk add commands, Rack analyzes dependencies between registries, detects conflicts, then intelligently merges configuration files according to priority rules, and finally installs the required dependency packages.

Quick Examples

Initialize a Vue full-stack project:

rk init -t @presets/tutorial-project

Add state management to an existing project:

rk add features/pinia

Configure a private enterprise source:

rk config set @company --url https://registry.company.com --token your-token-here
