Encore Templates
Templates to help you build backend applications with Encore.

Template types

This repo contains two types of templates:

  • Starters: Runnable Encore applications for others to use as is, or take inspiration from.
  • Bits: Re-usable code samples to solve common development patterns or integrate Encore applications with third-party APIs and services.

Prerequisite: Installing 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

Running Starters

Each sub-folder in this repo contains a runnable Starter application.

Use encore app create [app-name] --example=[folder-name] to create your own app based on the example.

For example, to create an app based on hello-world:

$ encore app create my-app --example=hello-world
Successfully created app my-app.
$ cd my-app
$ encore run
Running on http://localhost:4000
8:00AM INF registered endpoint endpoint=There service=hello

Go Bits

The bits sub-folder contains reusable code samples that can be copied directly into your own application.

Name Description Primitives Requirements
elevenlabs Getting text to speech from ElevenLabs generative voice AI APIs, Secrets ElevenLabs API key
pexels Searching and retrieving photos and videos from Pexels APIs, Secrets Pexels API key
sendgrid Asynchronous sending emails via SendGrid APIs, Secrets, Pub/Sub SendGrid API key

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:

  1. Fork the repo.
  2. 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>
  3. 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:

  1. Fork the repo.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
