Introducing Igniter.js Templates: Kickstart Your Next Project in Minutes

We're excited to announce the launch of Igniter.js Templates – a curated collection of production-ready starter templates that help you build modern full-stack applications faster than ever before. Whether you're building a React SPA, a Next.js application, or a REST API, our templates provide the perfect foundation with best practices baked in.

Why Templates Matter

Starting a new project often involves hours of setup: configuring build tools, setting up databases, implementing authentication, and establishing project structure. With Igniter.js Templates, we've eliminated this friction by providing battle-tested starter projects that follow industry best practices and leverage the full power of the Igniter.js ecosystem.

Available Templates

Our initial collection includes six carefully crafted templates, each designed for specific use cases:

Getting Started

Getting started with any template is incredibly simple:

# Install the Igniter.js CLI
npm install -g @igniter-js/cli

# Create a new project from a template
igniter create my-app

# Follow the interactive prompts to select your template
# The CLI will guide you through the setup process

Alternatively, you can specify a template directly:

# Create a Next.js app
igniter create my-nextjs-app --template nextjs

# Create a Bun React SPA
igniter create my-bun-app --template bun-react

# Create an Express API
igniter create my-api --template express-api

Template Architecture

Each template follows a consistent, scalable architecture:

my-app/
├── src/
│   ├── features/          # Feature-based organization
│   ├── components/        # Reusable UI components
│   ├── lib/              # Utility functions
│   └── types/            # TypeScript definitions
├── prisma/               # Database schema and migrations
├── public/               # Static assets
├── docker-compose.yml    # Local development services
└── .env.example         # Environment configuration

Feature-Based Organization

All templates use a feature-based folder structure that scales with your application:

src/features/
├── auth/
│   ├── components/       # Auth-specific components
│   ├── hooks/           # Custom React hooks
│   ├── services/        # API calls and business logic
│   └── types/           # Auth-related types
└── dashboard/
    ├── components/
    ├── hooks/
    ├── services/
    └── types/
