Boiler plates and HTML templates are very popular among developers. With restdb.io database/app templates, we want to take reuse to a completely new level.

A few months ago, we introduced the snapshot functionality for restdb.io databases. A simple click and a complete clone of a database with schema, REST API, HTML pages and setup would be created. Perfect for development staging, testing, reuse and sharing.

We are now introducing a template catalog where we are sharing various types of database applications you can install directly into your account. You can use these templates to learn from, as a starting point for a new solution or just use them right out of the “box”.

When you visit the template catalog, you’ll see that it currently contains only a few templates; a simple project management/sales database, a DevOps server monitoring tool and a blog template. In the coming months, we will add more useful templates including, for example, complete themed web sites (plug and play websites + CMS in a box). We’ll also share useful templates made by our developer community. 

Installing a database from a template typically takes a few seconds. Just click the “Install” button on the desired template in the catalog, and the “create database” dialog will pop up. Fill in the desired database name, and click “Go”. That’s it. For each template you will find a “Readme” page with usage and setup instructions inside the database.

Conclusion

The next step for you is (of course) to try this out now. Create a restdb.io account (if you don't already have one) and click the "Install" button on one of the templates. We'll love to get feedback from you. If you have your own templates or have improved one of ours, we'll be happy to share it in the template catalog.
