Templates are used to generate the code. In Web Template Studio we have the following kinds of templates: Frameworks, Projects Types, Pages and Features.
For example, consider the following scenarios:
- Scenario #1: you want to generate a project to create a target web app which uses the React on the frontend and Node on the backend, with some pages (Home, Products -a master detail page-, Todo -a list page-, etc. ) and including some extra features like Azure App Service and Cosmos DB...
- Scenario #2: you want to create as in Scenario #1 but with Angular as frontend framework and without CosmosDB support.
The Web Template Studio allow you to combine different templates to generate the project you want, using your preferred framework, and using the features you most like. Moreover, the templates available in Web Template Studio are extensible.

- _composition: this folder contains the partial code templates that will be generated when certain constraints are met, including framework specific templates.
- Features: Feature templates with the sources required to add different features and / or capabilities to the target web app.
- Pages: Page templates define the source files needed to create a page of a certain type.
- Projects: Project templates which define the actual folder structure, source files and auxiliary files to create a base project.
