Templates

A template can help you create developer assets (a starting point for a developer) and create pieces of executable code (which can be deployed directly).

A number of questions (defined in the template) are asked. Based on the answers (in the template), actions are run. You can implement custom actions (for example, creating a Flogo service or run a Jenkins job and more).

To view all available templates, navigate to Create. Every template contains its description, owner, and tags. The Owner comprises organization details, ownership count of services, APIs, systems, and members of the organization.

The following color codes define the type of a template.

  • service - (#13405B)

  • library - (#7DC95E)

  • website - (#1B998B)

  • integration - (#259BC2)

  • messaging - (#A74064)

You can search the available templates, star them to add as favorites, and filter using categories and tags.

If you provision the TIBCO Developer Hub without adding catalog location config, then you get the following three templates by default.

  • BWCE - Bookstore

  • Documentation Template

  • Flogo Call Service Template
