Starter templates

Start a prototype with your team’s preferred components and setup already in place. A template saves you from repeating the same preparation for every project.

Use a template

From your terminal, list the team’s templates and choose one:


artor template list
artor init --template dashboard --name "My App"

Artor creates a folder for the new prototype, links it to your organization, installs what it needs, and adds the team’s skills. You can then edit it and publish. New to the terminal? Follow Installing the CLI.

To start in the current folder or skip installation:


artor init --template dashboard --here
artor init --template dashboard --no-install

Existing local files are never overwritten. A template only adds files that are missing.

Create a template (admin)

From a project folder set up the way you want:


artor template push --name "Dashboard" --slug dashboard --desc "Our standard dashboard starter"  # admin access required

The slug, dashboard, is the short name teammates use with artor init --template. Running this command again with the same slug replaces the shared template for future projects. It does not update projects that already used it.

Sensitive files such as environment files and credentials are excluded automatically. Check that the remaining content is suitable for everyone in the organization before sharing it.

Dashboard

Open Templates to browse your organization’s starters. People with permission to manage templates can upload a zip or tgz file, or remove a template the team no longer needs. Removing a template does not delete prototypes created from it.

Who can manage templates

Owners and admins manage templates by default. An admin can allow All members under Settings → Skills & Templates. This is the same setting used for skills.

Skills — shared instructions included in new projects
Private registry — use your team’s private components
CLI reference — template commands
