how can npm init stencil works?

Can anyone explain me why

npm init stencil

works without install it globally?

I'm used to use library and all should be installed globally so I don't understand why stencil work like that ....

Solution

  • stencil is the initializer for the npm init command. The way the command works is that it utilizes a package with the name create-<initializer> to bootstrap the project.

    For Stencil that package is https://npmjs.com/create-stencil.
    The source is on Github: https://github.com/ionic-team/create-stencil.
