# Are there ready-made templates for the Strapi integration?

Asked by Dwight Palmer on 2025-07-11. Tags: strapi, templates, setup.

Sorry if this is a basic question, I am a junior dev and got handed a proof of
concept for personalizing our Strapi site. I have read the integration overview
but wiring everything from scratch feels like a lot for a first attempt.

Is there some kind of starter or template I can begin from instead? Even just a
reference setup I could copy the structure of would help me alot. Thanks in
advance and sorry again if I missed something obvious in the docs.

There are starting points, you do not have to wire anything from scratch.

Start with `npx croct@latest init` in your frontend project. It scaffolds the
setup for you and generates a `slots.d.ts` file so your slot content is typed
from day one. That alone removes most of the from-scratch wiring you are
dreading.

On top of that, the CLI has a `use` command for applying a ready-made template
and a `create template` command for turning your own setup into one later,
which is handy once your PoC becomes the reference for other projects. There is
a walkthrough of the available starting points in the post on
[Strapi integration templates](https://blog.croct.com/post/strapi-cms-integration-templates),
I would read that before writing any code.
