Wasp Starters

This directory contains starter templates for creating new Wasp projects.

How Wasp Starters Work

When you create a new project using wasp new, Wasp creates the project in 3 steps:

1. Copy skeleton files: Wasp copies the skeleton files into the project directory
2. Copy starter template files: Wasp copies the chosen starter template files (e.g., basic) into the project directory
3. Replace placeholders: Wasp replaces template placeholders in the project files (e.g., app name)

Due to this behavior, all files shared by all starters are placed in the skeleton directory.

Development Workflow

The recommended approach for developing starter templates:

1. Create a test project: Create a new project with the starter you want to modify
2. Implement changes: Make your required changes in the Wasp project
3. Copy changes back: Once satisfied with the implementation, copy the files from your project back to the starter templates
4. Test the starter: Create a new project with wasp-cli to verify it matches your previously created project
