How Templates Work

Templates are scaffolded using the CLI:

varitykit init my-app

This creates a new project directory with:

• All source code (yours to modify)
• Dependencies pre-configured
• Auth, database, and deployment ready
• No lock-in — it’s a standard Next.js project

Template vs. Manual Setup

Feature	Template	Manual Setup
Auth	Pre-configured	Add PrivyStack yourself
Database	Collections + hooks ready	Set up db.collection() yourself
Dashboard	5 pages with CRUD	Build from scratch
Mobile nav	Included	Build from scratch
Landing page	Included	Build from scratch
Time to deploy	~5 minutes	~1 hour

Tip

Even if you plan to heavily customize, starting from the template saves time. It demonstrates all the patterns (collection helpers, hooks, protected routes) that you can adapt to your needs.

Customizing Templates

After scaffolding, the code is yours. Common customizations:

1. Branding — Change app name, colors, logo
2. Data models — Replace Project/Task with your domain objects
3. Pages — Add, remove, or modify dashboard pages
4. Navigation — Edit the sidebar items

See the SaaS Starter page for detailed customization guides, or follow the Customize the Template tutorial.

Coming Soon

More templates are planned:

• E-commerce Starter — Product catalog, cart, checkout
