# Projects

Projects are used to organize flows that have been registered with the Prefect API. Each flow is contained within a single project.

# Creating a project

Projects can be created from the project filter on the dashboard or the project settings page.

To create a new project with the Prefect CLI:

$ prefect create project "Hello, World!"

To create a new project with the Core client:

from prefect import Client

client = Client()
client.create_project(project_name="Hello, World!")

To create a new project with GraphQL, issue the following mutation:

mutation {
  create_project(input: { name: "Hello, World!" }) {
    project {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

Projects can be deleted from the project settings page.

Deleting a project requires tenant admin permissions as well as the project's ID.

mutation {
  delete_project(input: { project_id: "project-UUID" }) {
    success
  }
}

Viewing all projects by name, sorted by name:

query {
  project(order_by: { name: asc }) {
    name
  }
}

Getting the id of a project with a specific name:

query {
  project(where: { name: { _eq: "a name" } }) {
    id
  }
}
