Create a JSS app for an older version of Sitecore

Version:

JSS functionality depends on Sitecore functionality. If you are not using the most recent version of Sitecore, when creating a JSS application, you must use a template provided by a JSS version compatible with your Sitecore version.

To create a JSS project for an older version of JSS and Sitecore:

Identify the correct JSS version for your Sitecore XP version.
Run the JSS CLI installation command:
npm i @sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-cli@<version>
Replace <version> with the version you want to use. For example, npm i @sitecore-jss/[email protected].
In a terminal, create your JSS project by running the following command:
jss create my-jss-app react --branch release/13.0.0
Note

The command uses the --branch option and you must provide the name of a branch in the JSS repository. You can use a release branch or any other branch from the repository.
Change the directory to your application folder:
cd my-first-jss-app
Start the development server:
jss start
