Templates - UpstandPlatform/OpenRive GitHub Wiki
Pick a template on the Files page (Templates or New file), run openrive new "Name" --template <id>, or
ask an AI assistant via MCP (create_project). Each template is a small lesson in one Rive feature.
| Id | Name | What it teaches |
|---|---|---|
blank |
Blank | An empty 500×500 artboard with a timeline and a state machine |
openrive-logo |
OpenRive Logo | Mouse interaction. The eye's iris and glint follow the cursor (listener align target plus distance constraints), dilate on hover, blink on their own, and bounce when clicked. Light and Dark themes. |
upstand-logo |
Upstand Logo | Brand intro. The italic marks slide in, a clipped shine sweeps across the tile, then it floats. Hover lifts it, click replays. Blue and Mono themes. |
bouncing-ball |
Bouncing Ball | Timelines, easing, squash & stretch |
interactive-button |
Interactive Button | Hover and press states from pointer listeners |
toggle-switch |
Toggle Switch | A boolean input driving two states |
loading-spinner |
Loading Spinner | Strokes and trim paths |
favorite-star |
Favorite Star | A trigger input with a springy one-shot |
hello-text |
Text & Themes | Text objects, theme colors, Light/Dark switching |
Real-world files made in the Rive editor, from the official rive-runtime test suite (MIT, © Rive). They show features beyond the templates:
| Id | Name | Shows |
|---|---|---|
off-road-car |
Off-road Car | Several looping timelines playing together (wheels, body bounce, wipers) |
death-knight |
Death Knight | Bones, nested artboards and a 4-layer state machine (walk, attack, facing, death) |
"Open a copy" creates a normal project you can edit.
On first start OpenRive creates Welcome to OpenRive from openrive-logo, so there's something interactive to
open right away. Delete it any time. It won't come back.
Templates are code in packages/rive/src/templates*.ts, built with the same API as the CLI and MCP. See
Building Templates.
