Templates
A template is a full, working DYPAI project you can deploy as your own in one click — frontend, database schema, endpoints, auth, and integrations all pre-configured. Instead of starting from scratch, start from a clinic management system, a SaaS boilerplate, or a chat assistant, then customize from there.
Why templates matter
Templates turn "I have an idea" into "I have a running app" in under two minutes. You get the whole thing — backend tables, API logic, UI, auth — and it's fully yours from the start. No vendor lock-in, no stripped-down demo version.
Two kinds of templates
Starter templates
Built-in starting points: blank, auth, private app, landing + admin. Always available when you create a project.
Marketplace templates
Community-published apps — CRMs, e-commerce, booking systems, chatbots. Free and paid. Reviewed before listing.
Starter templates
Every new project offers four starters (the exact labels shown in the new-project flow may vary slightly):
| Template | What's in the frontend | What's in the backend |
|---|---|---|
| Landing + admin | Public landing page, contact form, admin panel for leads | leads table, submit/list endpoints, admin-role gate |
| App with sign up | Login, register, forgot password, protected dashboard | Full auth flow, user profile table |
| Private app | Login only — no public signup | Admin creates users, private-by-default endpoints |
| Blank | React + Vite + Tailwind + SDK connected | No tables or endpoints — start from scratch |
All include: React + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS, @dypai-ai/client-sdk pre-wired, and MCP config for your IDE.
Marketplace templates
The marketplace is the community catalog — full apps people have built on DYPAI and shared for others to deploy. Browse by category, read descriptions, preview demos, and deploy with one click.
Categories:
- SaaS — Multi-tenant apps with billing and dashboards
- E-commerce — Stores, carts, checkout flows
- Booking — Appointments, reservations, scheduling
- CRM — Customer management, pipelines, contacts
- AI & Chatbots — Conversational apps with agents
- Dashboard — Admin panels and internal tools
- Marketplace — Multi-vendor and listing apps
- Social — Feeds, messaging, communities
- Internal Tools — Ops, HR, inventory
- Other
Browsing the marketplace
The marketplace lives at dypai.ai/marketplace — open it by URL. It's not yet a dedicated tab in the dashboard sidebar, so bookmark the link or follow the cards in these docs. Each listing shows:
- Cover image and gallery
- Short description and detailed overview
- Tags and category
- Number of installs, average rating
- Author
- Live demo link (if provided)
- Endpoint and table counts (so you can gauge complexity)
You can filter by category, sort by Popular, Newest, or Rating, and search by name or tag.
What you get when you install a template
Deploying a marketplace template creates a brand new project in your organization with:
- A clone of the template's frontend source
- The same tables and their structure
- The same endpoints and workflows
- A fresh database (empty — no data from the template's own project)
- Your own credentials (you'll need to add keys for any integrations the template uses)
The template is your project from that moment — you own the code and the data. The original author can't see what you do with it.
Publishing your own template
The per-project "share as template" entry is in active rollout — the in-dashboard flow and the public marketplace listing are still being polished. See Publishing a template for how it works and what to expect.
