Getting Started with Reaktor

Initialize your system specification in under 30 minutes. Reaktor's CLI scaffolds a complete multi-runtime graph, ready for local development or edge deployment.

1. Installation​

Install the Reaktor command-line interface globally via npm.

npm install -g @reaktor/cli

2. Initialize a Project​

Create a new Reaktor project using the interactive scaffolder. Choose from templates like social, ecommerce, or empty.

reaktor create my-app --template social

3. Define Your First Schema​

Reaktor uses annotated Kotlin data classes as the single source of truth for all runtimes.

@ReaktorSchema
data class UserProfile(
    val id: String,
    val username: String,
    val bio: String?,
    @Default("0") val level: Int
)

4. Launch the Blueprint Editor​

The Blueprint editor provides a live view of your running graph. Changes in the editor generate code in real-time.

cd my-app
reaktor blueprint
