js-ts-frontend — Hello World Templates

A set of ready-to-run "Hello World" frontend templates for the most popular JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks. Each template is a standalone starting point: fork the one you want, run it with gws, and start building.

Available Templates

Getting Started

1. Create a GetWebstack account

Sign up for a free account at app.getwebstack.com. You'll need it to initialise and manage your projects with the gws CLI.

2. Pick a template and fork it

Browse the templates above, choose the framework you want to work with, and fork that repository into your own GitHub account.

3. Install the GetWebstack CLI

curl -sSL https://getwebstack.com/install.sh | bash

4. Log in to GetWebstack

This authenticates the CLI with your GetWebstack account.

5. Initialise the project

Inside the forked project directory, run:

This discovers the application and generates the necessary configuration files to run it locally.

6. Start the application

This builds the application and starts it in a local Kubernetes cluster. Each template returns a simple Hello World response to confirm everything is working.

7. Start developing

The templates are intentionally minimal — just enough to get a working application running. Add pages, components, API routes, and anything else your project needs.

Some templates require secrets (e.g. API keys) to be configured in the GetWebstack app before running. Check the template's own README.md for any additional setup steps.
