Create NEAR App is an open-source framework designed for rapid development of applications utilizing the NEAR blockchain. The tool streamlines app creation via a simple command-line interface, `npx create-near-app@latest`, with support for both JavaScript and Rust-based smart contracts, as well as Next.js web applications either through Page or App Routers. Prerequisites include a current Node.js version, specifically 16+ for JavaScript contracts and 18+ for frontend components. For optimal efficiency, the use of `pnpm` is recommended over `npm` or `yarn` for dependency management. It supports a sandboxed testing environment in both JavaScript and Rust. Users are encouraged to consult the detailed documentation and engage with the community on Discord for support. Development adheres to Conventional Commits for maintaining semantic versioning and streamlined release processes, necessitating proper git practices for contribution and deployment.
