Apps are a core aspect to Hygraph’s extensibility. Similar in concept to UI Extensions, Integrations, and Plugins, Hygraph’s apps extend the capabilities of your Hygraph project by bringing in functionality from tools and services you’re accustomed to using within your workflows.

Starters are end-to-end reference applications that are ready to clone and deploy. They typically come with a completed Hygraph project (with a consumable schema), a code repository, and a frontend, to get you started with your own.

Templates are cloneable schemas within a Hygraph project for you to get used to building applications with Hygraph. As they are without a frontend, they are highly unopinionated in implementation, giving you a consumable GraphQL API to use within your own application with your preferred languages and frameworks.

Examples are quick code snippets that illustrate the capabilities and functionality of Hygraph. They go from explaining how to use core Hygraph features, like GraphQL Mutations and Localizations, to how to work with Hygraph and your favorite tooling, like Next.js and GenQL.
