Starter apps overview

Starter apps are maintained application foundations that combine form0 packages with routing, configuration, styling, and local-development conventions. They are useful when you want a working application to customize rather than adding a binding to an existing project.

Starter	Best for	Source
React + Vite	Browser applications, custom web forms, and static hosting	GitHub
React Native + Expo	iOS and Android applications, device capabilities, and offline-oriented workflows	GitHub

Recommended creation path

Use form0-cli to create a starter. The CLI guides project and package-manager selection and produces a normal application repository that you own.

Code
npm install --global form0-cli
form0 init my-form-app

GitHub's Use this template button is also available when you explicitly want to create a repository from the source starter. The CLI remains the canonical onboarding path.

Starter guides explain the application around form0. For package APIs, use the React and React Native binding documentation. For schema behavior, use the Core documentation.

Continue with the guide for your starter:

• Create and run React and Vite
• Create and run React Native and Expo
