Starters
This technology has no Slice Machine integration
This framework has no integration with Prismic's developer tool, Slice Machine. You can still build a Prismic website with this technology by using Prismic's Legacy Builder. However, if you're starting a new project with Prismic, we strongly recommend using a technology that integrates with Slice Machine: Next.js or Nuxt.
Launch a starter project with Express and Prismic in a few minutes.
Choose one of the below projects to install. You can see a preview of the project and explore the source code on GitHub.
To install a sample project, run the theme command. The theme command clones the project locally, installs all necessary dependencies, and creates a Prismic repository with custom types and pre-built content.
The command will ask you to give the name of your Prismic repository.

For the multi-language project, you'll have a default locale configuration on your repo. This will be:
- English (
en-gb) as the master locale - And, French (
fr-fr) as an additional locale
To add additional locales, navigate to Settings > Translations & locales in your repository. Learn more about how to add languages.
If you change the master locale, update your language settings in the config folder of the project. Open the site-config.js file and replace the defaultLanguage with the master language of your repository.
Verify repository name
Open prismic-configuration.js file and verify that the Prismic repo matches the URL of the Prismic repository created earlier. If the URL for your repository is https://my-awesome-repository.prismic.io, then you'll need to replace your-repo-name in the config file with my-awesome-repository.
