Create custom templates

You can create custom STACKIT Functions templates, by following the structure of the Official templates.

In particular, a templates repository should contain a separate folder for each template, containing a stackit-functions.yaml file. Repository layout:

https://git-host.example/user/repository-name.git
|-- template-folder
|   |-- stackit-functions.yaml
|   |-- README.md
|   `-- ... source code
`-- ... other templates

The stackit-functions.yaml should contain a function block, defining, at minimum, the name of the template, as well as the runtime and trigger parameters:

function:
  name: ts-template
  runtime: nodets
  trigger: http

The runtime will be used by the STACKIT Function CLI to select the correct entrypoint, as described by the Generated code reference.

Installing custom templates

To install a custom templates repository, use the template install subcommand:

sfn template install --source https://git-host.example/user/repository-name.git

Then, the sfn function create will then be able to use your the custom templates for initializing new function projects.
