This example will generate scaffolding for a service with Cloudflare as a provider. The scaffolding will be generated in the current working directory.

Creating a named service in a (new) directory

serverless create --template cloudflare-workers --path my-new-service

This example will generate scaffolding for a service with Cloudflare as a provider. The scaffolding will be generated in the my-new-service directory. This directory will be created if not present. Otherwise, Serverless will use the already present directory. Additionally, Serverless will rename the service according to the path you provide. In this example, the service will be renamed to my-new-service.

Creating a new service using a local template

serverless create --template-path path/to/my/template/folder --path path/to/my/service --name my-new-service

This will copy the path/to/my/template/folder folder into path/to/my/service and rename the service to my-new-service.
