## To do
* [ ] Add template docs folder and auto-link to the template docs from the template description.
* [ ] Add an example flow feature to templates. An examples folder. A button in the template description to import the example flow(s) to the clipboard for import (auto-import if possible.)
* [ ] Change favicon to `<link rel="icon" href="../uibuilder/images/uib-world.svg" type="image/svg+xml">` in external templates.

## Other
* Change favicon to uib-globe.svg for external templates.
* Show template version in the uibuilder node.
* Replace all template eslint configs with new version (see actions example). Also add stylelint. And update pacage.json.
* Add fe dependencies install button to uibuilder node.
* Add option for auto-install of dependencies when using an external template.
* Show the dependency list.
* Check for external template udpates.
* Add std npm scripts: `build`, `createGit`, `commit`, `push`.
* Maybe move dependecy list for external templates to its package.json?
* New external templates? GRID and FLEX. (or just use examples?)
