Create a Modular Template

To create a Modular Template, start with any Modular package type for which you want to create a template for (app, package, etc). The package’s contents will be copied into any new package created using the template.

To convert the package into a template, make the following changes to the package’s package.json:

• Change modular.type field to "template"
• Optionally add modular.templateType with the desired target package type. If modular.templateType is not present, the target package will not have a modular field in its packages.json.

Example configuration for a template that generates esm-views.

{
  "modular": {
    "type": "template",
    "templateType": "esm-view"
  }
}

Optionally, include a files array pattern containing any files that Modular should include from the template when creating a new package using it. Example:

{
  "files": [
    "path/to/file-to-include-1.tsx",
    "path/to/file-to-include-2.ts",
    "folder-to-include"
  ]
}

If not specified, Modular will include all files.
