After running npm init react-app new-app --template typescript it simply creates a javascript template project, not typescript. I want to create a typescript project using CLI.

Node JS version: 15.9.0
NPM version: 7.0.15

    The docs suggest that, in v7, you need --: npm init react-app -- new-app --template typescript. Commented Feb 23, 2021 at 8:33

    Then why have you accepted rustyBucketBay's answer below, which doesn't tell you that? It just links to the (wrong!) docs. You don't have to (and shouldn't) accept any answer that's posted, first check that they actually solve your problem. Commented Feb 23, 2021 at 8:40

Per the docs, in NPM v7:

Any additional options will be passed directly to the command, so npm init foo -- --hello will map to npx create-foo --hello.

This is subtly different to v6, where:

Any additional options will be passed directly to the command, so npm init foo --hello will map to npx create-foo --hello.

Note the additional -- for v7, which in your case would be:

npm init react-app -- new-app --template typescript
