Template Catalog

Re-Shell ships 205 production-grade templates spanning 36 languages and 171 frameworks. Every template is a real, scaffoldable service with sensible defaults (routing, validation, Docker, testing, and more). Browse and preview them entirely offline with the templates command group, or visually in the dashboard.

re-shell templates list                  # all 205
re-shell templates list --language rust  # filter by language
re-shell templates show express          # details for one
re-shell templates apply express --name billing   # dry-run preview

These counts are generated from the live registry (re-shell templates list --json / re-shell templates matrix --json) at CLI 0.29.2. The catalog grows over time; the CLI is always the source of truth.

What a template descriptor looks like

re-shell templates show express --json

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "id": "express",
    "displayName": "Express.js",
    "language": "typescript",
    "framework": "express",
    "version": "4.19.2",
    "tags": ["nodejs", "express", "api", "rest", "middleware", "typescript"],
    "features": ["middleware", "routing", "cors", "authentication", "validation"],
    "port": 3000,
    "fileCount": 27
  },
  "warnings": []
}

Preview before you scaffold

templates apply is a dry-run that computes the exact file set a scaffold would produce — names, sizes, per-file preview — without writing anything:

re-shell templates apply express --name billing

🔍 Dry run: express → "billing"

Would create 27 files (39040 bytes). Nothing written.

  + package.json (2360b)
  + src/index.ts (2915b)
  + src/controllers/auth.controller.ts (3328b)
  + src/routes/index.ts (608b)
  + tsconfig.json (966b)
  ...

To actually write a service, use generate backend or create.
