# Two ways to use

Once you purchase the starter, you have all the code to your disposal. You can modify the app anyway you want, but here are two major ways it can be done.

### 1. Use the Video App Template as a base to create your app <a href="#id-1-use-the-template-app-as-a-base-to-create-your-app" id="id-1-use-the-template-app-as-a-base-to-create-your-app"></a>

This means that the template is itself an Ionic app, so you don't need to create another app. You can use the template app as a base for your app and just delete the pages you don't want, and add what is missing.

If you plan to use many of the pages and features offered by the template, then we suggest you to go with this option.

For example, if you are looking to keep the Home Page Layout, user settings page, Video player and video album/playlist pages, you should keep the same template as base. Delete other pages which are not required.

### 2. Import Video App Template pages into an existing Ionic 5 app <a href="#id-2-import-some-pages-into-an-existing-ionic-4-app" id="id-2-import-some-pages-into-an-existing-ionic-4-app"></a>

If you only want to use some specific pages or components and you already have an existing Ionic 5 ap&#x70;**.** e.g. You want to import only the **Home page layout** into your other app

#### Copy the Homepage folder <a href="#copy-the-page-folder" id="copy-the-page-folder"></a>

Locate the Home Page folder in the code which is `tab1.page`&#x20;

Now, copy the contents of the folder to your existing app, and include it in `app.module.ts`

All pages have their styling included within the folder, so you don't need to copy any styles from Global.

#### Routing <a href="#routing" id="routing"></a>

Add the new route to your routing file `src/app/app-routing.module.ts` Take care of Tab routing, if required, because tab routing is a little different from Stacked page routing. Tab routing is defined in `tabs/tabs.router.module.ts` file.

## Assets

All assets are kept in `src/assets` You can copy the assets related to your page from this folder, or use your own.&#x20;

Keep in mind to keep `assets` folder as direct child of `src` because the production build expects it so. If you change the location, the production build might not be able to find the correct assets path
