Example applications demonstrating LiveTemplate usage with various features and patterns.

The todo app demonstrates LiveTemplate's core features in ~150 lines of Go + ~80 lines of HTML:

• Real-time sync — open two tabs as the same user; changes appear instantly via Sync()
• Standard HTML forms — <form method="POST" name="add"> routes to Add() with zero configuration
• Live search & sort — Change() auto-wires input events with 300ms debounce
• Validation — ErrorTag, AriaInvalid, AriaDisabled template helpers
• Components — modal confirmation dialogs and toast notifications
• Entry animations — lvt-fx:animate="fade" on new rows
• Loading states — lvt-el:setAttr:on:add:pending="aria-busy:true" for visual feedback
• Dark mode — automatic via <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
• Progressive enhancement — standard form actions use HTTP POST fallback; live search/sort and other reactive interactions are enhanced by JavaScript

All examples follow the progressive complexity model. Tier 1 (standard HTML) is preferred; Tier 2 (lvt-* attributes) is used only when necessary.

The directories listed in the table above are individual example applications. Each folder contains a minimal, self-contained project that demonstrates a specific LiveTemplate pattern or feature.

Each example is self-contained with its own go.mod. To run an example:

cd <example-directory>
go mod download
go run main.go

Run all working examples at once:

./test-all.sh

This script will:

• Test all 5 working examples (counter, chat, todos, graceful-shutdown, testing)
• Skip disabled examples by default (use without --skip-disabled to attempt them)
• Show a summary of passed/failed/skipped tests

Examples include E2E tests using Chromedp:

cd <example-directory>
go test -v

The test script is also used in GitHub Actions. See .github/workflows/test.yml for CI configuration.

Examples are configured to use the CDN version of the client library:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@livetemplate/client@0.1.0/dist/livetemplate-client.browser.js"></script>

For local development, examples can serve the client library locally using github.com/livetemplate/lvt/testing.

• Core Library: github.com/livetemplate/livetemplate v0.8.15
• LVT Testing (for examples with E2E tests): github.com/livetemplate/lvt (latest)
• Client Library: @livetemplate/client@latest (via CDN)

• LiveTemplate Core - Go library for server-side rendering
• Client Library - TypeScript client for browsers
• LVT CLI - Code generator and development server

Examples follow the LiveTemplate core library's major.minor version:

• Core: v0.1.5 → Examples: v0.1.x (any patch version)
• Core: v0.2.0 → Examples: v0.2.0 (must match major.minor)

See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on adding new examples.
