Node.js repositories

Collection of runnable Node.js projects. Every project lives under templates/:

hostinger-templates/
├── templates/
│   └── <repository-id>/
├── skills/
├── versions/catalog.json
└── templates.json

Repository catalog

templates.json is the source of truth for projects in this collection. Its templates array lists every finished project. Add one entry when a project is created.

Each entry can contain these fields:

• id and name
• summary and description
• bucket, categories, and whoItsFor
• demoUrl
• classification: categories, use cases, and frameworks
• features: at most 4 verified feature IDs, names, and descriptions
• technology: languages, frameworks, styling, data strategy, and deployment
• compatibility: runtimes and supported versions
• media: thumbnail and preview metadata
• searchTerms

Project paths use templates/<id>/, where the directory name matches the catalog id.

Adding a project

Follow skills/create-repository/SKILL.md. It defines the creation workflow; skills/create-repository/RULES.md defines constraints every project must follow.

Demo deployments

Merging a PR that adds a template (a new templates/<id>/package.json) publishes it to https://<id>.hostingertemplates.com through the Deploy template demos workflow. PRs that only change existing templates, such as Dependabot security groups and dependency bumps, do not deploy. To redeploy existing demos, run the workflow from the Actions tab with their template IDs.

The workflow needs a Hostinger API token for the account that owns hostingertemplates.com, stored as the HOSTINGER_API_TOKEN secret of the template-demos environment (deployment branches: main only). skills/deploy-templates/SKILL.md covers redeploys, failed runs, and the manual fallback.

Bumping dependencies

Templates stay standalone (own package.json and lockfile). Shared pins live in versions/catalog.json. To move a package across every template on the same major:

npm run bump -- nuxt 4.5.1

Different majors are skipped unless you pass --major. Use --dry-run to preview. Update templates.json compatibility and README prerequisites by hand when engines change. Dependabot still opens grouped security PRs; this command is for catalog-led bumps Dependabot will not fan out (same advisory, other directories).

Translations

Template summaries, descriptions and category labels are shown in hPanel in English, straight from templates.json — there is no translation pipeline for the v1 release.
