matlab.project.createProject

Create blank project

Syntax

proj = matlab.project.createProject

proj = matlab.project.createProject(path)

proj = matlab.project.createProject(name)

proj = matlab.project.createProject(Name,Value)

Description

proj = matlab.project.createProject creates and opens a blank project and returns the project object. Use the project object to manipulate the new project at the command line. The new project is created in the default project folder.

proj = matlab.project.createProject(path) creates the project in the specified folder.

proj = matlab.project.createProject(name) creates the project in the default folder, with the specified name.

proj = matlab.project.createProject(Name,Value) specifies additional options as one or more name-value pair arguments.

Examples

Create Blank Project in the Default Folder

Create a blank project in the default project folder and specify the project name. After the project is created, you can set up the project by adding files to the project, configuring the project path, and specifying startup and shutdown files.

proj = matlab.project.createProject;
proj.Name = "My New Project";

Create a Blank Project in a Specified Folder

Create a blank project in the specified folder and specify the project name.

proj = matlab.project.createProject("C:\work\myprojectname");

Create a Named Blank Project in the Default Folder

Create a blank project in the default project folder with the specified name.

proj = matlab.project.createProject("myprojectname");

Create a Named Blank Project in a Specified Folder

Create a blank project in the default project folder with the specified name.

proj = matlab.project.createProject("Name","myprojectname","Folder","C:\work\mynewproject");

Input Arguments

path — New project path

character vector | string scalar

New project path, specified as a character vector or string scalar. If you do not specify the path, matlab.project.createProject creates the project in the default location. You can change the default location in the project preferences.

name — New project name

character vector | string scalar

New project name, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: 'Name','myprojectname','Folder','C:\work\mynewproject'

Folder — Project root folder

character vector | string scalar

Project root folder, if creating a new project, specified as a character vector or string.

Data Types: char | string

Name — New project name

character vector | string scalar

New project name, specified as a character vector or string.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

proj — Project

matlab.project.Project object

Project, returned as a matlab.project.Project object. Use the matlab.project.Project object to programmatically manipulate the currently open project.

Tips

• To change the default folder for new projects, on the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences. Go to MATLAB > Project and in the New Projects section, set the Default folder.
