Integrating maizzle in an existing project

[bernardarhia]

I'm working on an existing project. I came across maizzle two days ago. I want to integrate it into my app but when I run npx create-maizzle, I get this error
destination directory is not empty, aborting. Use options.force to override

at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) {
code: 'DEST_NOT_EMPTY'
}. I want to put maizzle in my root directory and not it'a own directory. How do I do that?

For now if you want to use create-maizzle just scaffold it in its own directory and then move it manually. The problem with allowing force copying is that it'll overwrite your NPM stuff (package.json/package lock/node_modules).

Are you using a specific framework or project structure? We should try to have guides around popular ones.

I do have a specific folder struture. I tried doing the installing but it couldn't because of the overwriting stuff. I might have to do a microservice or something

Have a look at using the API: https://maizzle.com/docs/api

I've found a work around it. I use maizzle to write the code and compile it using the dev or build command then I use the mustache library to compile the html
