Let's make a new Begin app!

Introduction

There are various ways to spin up a new app on Begin. You have the option to:

• Choose between Node or Deno for your runtime
• Start with a framework-specific starter app
• Use one of our example apps
• Port one of your apps over to Begin by using an existing repo
• Clone an existing repo from someone else

Choose a runtime:

You have the option to choose between Node or Deno for your runtime. With Node, you can use one of the framework-specific starter apps or a Begin example app. Deno only has the Begin example apps available. Both runtimes allow you to port an outside repository to get started.

Framework-specific starter apps

We have four different framework-specific starter apps to choose from. Each of these starter apps comes with an accompanying guide to help get you going.

• Apollo GraphQL
• React
• Svelte
• Vue

You can view them all here.

Example apps

Six different example apps cover a particular feature or use-case that's possible with Begin. For example:

• Minimal
• Hello world with a basic HTTP function
• Personal website
• Basic CRUD app
• Events click tracker app
• Scheduled functions hit counter app

These example apps come with accompanying guides as well to help get you started.

Use your own

Use an existing repo

You have the option to port one of your apps over to Begin by using an existing repo. Use an existing repo will add the minimum necessary files to use Begin with an existing GitHub repo.

Clone an app

Cloning an app will allow you to clone an existing Begin or Architect app into a fresh GitHub repo.
