Blank

The starter on its own, a Vite and React app wired up for buttery with a desktop shell, and nothing on the screen yet.

The blank template is buttery's starter app: the provider, the styles, the bundled font, the layout checks and a Tauri v2 desktop shell, with a page header and a Next steps section on an otherwise empty page. Use it when none of the other templates is close to what you're building, or when you want the desktop app.

Start from it

1. Make the app

   bash

   npx create-buttery my-app --template blank --desktop

   create-buttery makes my-app in the folder you're in, named after the folder, and installs it with the package manager that ran it. blank is the default, so --template blank can be left out. --desktop adds the Tauri shell, so the app also opens as a desktop window.

   Inside the buttery repository, pnpm new-app my-app --template blank copies apps/starter to apps/my-app instead, with the next free port, and adds it to the root tsconfig.json.

2. Start it

   bash

   cd my-app
   npm run dev

   Open the address it prints.

3. Open it as a desktop app

   bash

   npm run tauri dev

   The same app opens in a window of its own.

What's inside

Its one screen is an AppPage with a PageHeader, from the app shell and page header patterns. The quick start builds a first screen in it, and desktop apps covers the Tauri shell.
