What is the "correct" way to bootstrap CRA with a template using pnpm ?

[mattari97]

Hi everyone. I've started using pnpm recently and it is working fine but i do not find the correct way to bootstrap my projects with pnpm directly.
So right now i do it with yarn then delete node_modules & run "pnpm install" to free up Disk Space.

My template problem

I've tried:
pnpm create react-app my-app --config.template=typescript
pnpm create react-app --config.template=typescript my-app
and so on with the config flag anywhere possible in the command.

It always creates a default CRA project not taking in consideration the template part.
I don't find anything in the docs or on the web on the matter so i need your help please.

My lock file problem

The second part of my problem is that it generates a package-lock instead of a pnpm-lock but is it how it should be ?

Thanks to anyone that takes the time to answer my question(s). Peace.
