Use Templates to Accelerate Development
Templates give you a running application faster than starting from a blank prompt. Each template is pre-built for a common use case and is fully customizable through prompts, Configure mode, and code edits.
Browse and apply a template
- From the C3 Code home page, scroll to the Templates section below the prompt input, or select Browse all templates to open the full template gallery.
- Select a template card to open the template detail page.
- Select Create to create a new application from that template.
C3 Code creates a new workspace and generates an application based on the selected template. The workspace opens in Preview mode when generation completes.
Combine templates with prompts
After applying a template, the prompt input in the workspace accepts follow-up instructions to customize the application. The template provides the initial structure; your prompts extend and refine it.
For example, after selecting a template designed for data management, you can prompt:
Add a Status field with values: Draft, Under Review, Approved, and Rejected.
You can continue to iterate with follow-up prompts after the initial customization. Each prompt builds on the current state of the application.
