Microsoft Web Template Studio (aka WebTS) is a Visual Studio Code Extension that accelerates the creation of a new Web or React Native application using a wizard-based experience.

WebTS enables developers to generate boilerplate code for a Web or React Native application by choosing between different project types, frontend and backend frameworks, pages and cloud services. The resulting app is well-formed, readable code. The web application incorporates cloud services on Azure while implementing proven patterns and best practices. Sprinkled throughout the generated code we have links to Docs to provide useful insights. WebTS was created using TypeScript and React. Different combinations of generated code are merged together by Core Template Studio, which was made using .NET Core.

Visual Studio Code extensions are currently not signed. WebTS provides the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) of each version we publish. You can find the current extensions sha256 value in the following files:

• sha256-release.md

To verify the integrity of the package, download the vsix from the Marketplace, calculate the hash of the package using the powershell command Get-FileHash or any other tool that allows you to calculate the packages hash, and compare both.

• Open VSCode
• Press Ctrl + Shift ⇧ + P in Windows/Linux or Command ⌘ + Shift ⇧ + P in Mac to open VSCode's extension launcher
• Type/Select Web Template Studio: Create Web App for a full-stack web application or Web Template Studio: Create React Native App for a React Native one, and press Enter to launch the extension

Note: React Native is still in Preview and we appreciate any feedback on GitHub.

• Open VSCode
• Open the generated project
• Press Ctrl + Shift ⇧ + P in Windows/Linux or Command ⌘ + Shift ⇧ + P in Mac to open VSCode's extension launcher
• Type/Select Web Template Studio: Deploy Web App and press Enter to begin the deployment Note: Just available for web applications.

I need a full-stack web app that is deployed on Azure App Service Web App.

I want to create a react native app that works for Android, iOS and Windows. I want my App to have a master-detail and a settings page, that allows the users to switch the App's theme.

Web Template Studio approaches full-stack web app creation using the following three attribute sets:

• Frameworks: First, which frameworks do you want to use for your frontend and backend? We currently support three frameworks for frontend: React, Angular, Vue.js and four frameworks for backend: Node, Flask, Moleculer and ASP.NET Core. We also provide a dependency checker to make sure you have the required version of Node, Python and/or .NET Core installed.
• App pages: Next, to accelerate app creation, we provide a number of app page templates that you can use to add common UI pages into your new app. The current page templates include: blank page, common layouts (*e.g., master detail) and pages that implement common patterns (*e.g., grid, list). Using the wizard, add as many of the pages as you need, providing a name for each one, and we'll generate them for you.
• Cloud Services: Lastly, you specify which Azure cloud services you want to use, and we'll build out the framework for the services into your app. Currently supported services cover storage (Azure Cosmos DB), and hosting (Azure App Service).

Once you make the selections you want and click generate, you can quickly extend the generated code.

As a workaround you just need to run yarn lint --fix. There´s already an issue to fix this.

• Update to 0.64: Bottom tab navigation doesn´t change text colour when selected. There´s an issue in React Native Windows to fix this in version 0.65.
• Bundle targets fail when path contains spaces. There´s an issue in React Native Windows to fix this in version 0.65.

Please use GitHub issues for feedback, questions or comments.

If you have specific feature requests or would like to vote on what others are recommending, please go to the GitHub issues section as well. We would love to see what you are thinking.

We are still early in development and are looking for feedback for the roadmap. We're still working on polishing our Web Templates and in our latest version we've also added an initial version of React Native templates.

Microsoft Web Template Studio was initially created by Microsoft Garage interns. We hope many more continue with the project.
