Hygraph Marketplace

Explore a growing ecosystem of starter projects, schema templates, apps, and more, to supercharge your Hygraph projects.

Apps

Apps are a core aspect to Hygraph’s extensibility. Similar in concept to UI Extensions, Integrations, and Plugins, Hygraph’s apps extend the capabilities of your Hygraph project by bringing in functionality from tools and services you’re accustomed to using within your workflows.

Starters

Starters are end-to-end reference applications that are ready to clone and deploy. They typically come with a completed Hygraph project (with a consumable schema), a code repository, and a frontend, to get you started with your own.

Templates

Templates are cloneable schemas within a Hygraph project for you to get used to building applications with Hygraph. As they are without a frontend, they are highly unopinionated in implementation, giving you a consumable GraphQL API to use within your own application with your preferred languages and frameworks.

Code Examples

Coming soon

Examples are quick code snippets that illustrate the capabilities and functionality of Hygraph. They go from explaining how to use core Hygraph features, like GraphQL Mutations and Localizations, to how to work with Hygraph and your favorite tooling, like Next.js and GenQL.

Accelerators

An accelerator is a prebuilt solution focused on a specific use case, such as an eCommerce shop, that can make your transition to modular architecture easier and more digestible. You can start with it, reduce the time to market, then customize and evolve. Instead of starting from 0, you start from 80%. And you have the full flexibility to recompose this later on.
