// Templates
Start a new app from a whole app.
An app template is a complete Open Mercato app in a GitHub repository, for example a CRM, or a WMS for an e-commerce company. A module adds one feature to your app. A template is the app you start from.
Coming soonNo templates are listed yet. Entries appear here after the save tool is released.
// Plan
How it will work
- Save. A separate tool,
create-mercato-template, works likecreate-mercato-module: it prepares a copy of your app without secrets and local data, and pushes it to GitHub as a template repository, public or private. - Start.
create-mercato-appgets a--templateoption that creates a new app from a listed template or from any repository you can read:npx create-mercato-app my-app --template owner/repo - Find. Public templates are listed on this page. Private ones work with
--template owner/repoand are never listed.
Neither exists yet: there is no create-mercato-template package and no --template option. Both are described in the specification below.
