This repo contains two types of templates:
- Starters: Runnable Encore applications to use as they are or to take inspiration from.
- Bits: Small re-usable parts solving common development patterns or integrating Encore applications with third-party APIs and services.
Prerequisite: Install Encore
If this is the first time you're using Encore, you first need to install the CLI that runs the local development environment. Use the appropriate command for your system:
- macOS:
brew install encoredev/tap/encore
- Linux:
curl -L https://encore.dev/install.sh | bash
- Windows:
iwr https://encore.dev/install.ps1 | iex
Starters
Create a local app from a template by running:
encore app create [app-name] --example=[folder-name]
E.g. encore app create my-app --example=ts/hello-world

Contribute your templates
Contribute a template by submitting a Pull Request to
the Open Source Examples Repo: https://github.com/encoredev/examples
Submitting Starters
Follow these steps to submit a Starter:
- Fork the repo.
- Create a new folder in the root directory of the repo, this is where you will place your template. Use a short folder
name as your template will be installable via the CLI, like
so:
encore app create APP-NAME --example=<TEMPLATE_FOLDER_NAME>
- Include a
README.md
with instructions for how to use the template. We recommend following this format.
Once your Pull Request has been approved, it may be featured on the Templates page on the Encore website.
Submitting Bits
Follow these steps to submit your Bits:
- Fork the repo.
- Create a new folder inside the
bits
folder in the repo and place your template inside it. Use a short folder name as your template will soon be installable via the CLI. - Include a
README.md
with instructions for how to use the template.
Once your Pull Request has been approved, it may be featured on the Templates page on the Encore website.
Dynamic Encore AppID
In most cases, you should avoid hardcoding an AppID
in your template's source code. Instead, use the
notation {{ENCORE_APP_ID}}
.
When a developer creates an app using the template, {{ENCORE_APP_ID}}
will be dymically replaced with their new and
unique AppID
, meaning they will not need to make any manual code adjustments.
