Apps

Every workspace under apps/ plus the starter templates under templates/. These are the runnable surfaces of the repo — the things that ship to a domain or to an extension marketplace.

Layout

Starter templates

The templates/ directory holds starter projects for npx create-tldraw@latest:

• agent — AI agents that read, interpret, and modify the canvas.
• branching-chat — AI chat with visual branching.
• chat — canvas-powered AI chat.
• image-pipeline — image generation and editing flow.
• nextjs — basic Next.js + tldraw.
• shader — WebGL shaders that respond to canvas interactions.
• simple-server-example — minimal Node server backing useSync.
• socketio-server-example — same with Socket.IO.
• sync-cloudflare — useSync + Cloudflare Durable Object backend.
• vite — basic Vite + tldraw.
• vue — Vue host with the React component embedded.
• workflow — drag-and-drop node builder.

Each template is a fully working project with its own package.json. They are scaffolded by packages/create-tldraw/ (see create-tldraw).
