Templates

Overview of Quickback project templates. Choose the right starting point for your backend.

Quickback provides pre-configured templates to get you started quickly. Each template combines a runtime, database, and auth provider into a working project with an example feature.

Available Templates

Template	Runtime	Database	Auth	Command
`cloudflare`	Cloudflare Workers	D1 (SQLite)	Better Auth	`quickback create cloudflare my-app`
`bun`	Bun	better-sqlite3	Better Auth	`quickback create bun my-app`
`turso`	Bun	LibSQL (Turso)	Better Auth	`quickback create turso my-app`

What Each Template Includes

Every template scaffolds a complete project with:

quickback.config.ts — Pre-configured with the right providers
definitions/features/ — Example todos feature with full security configuration
Database migrations — Ready to apply
Deployment scripts — npm run deploy for Cloudflare, npm start for Bun
