## Three kinds of examples

The majority of examples in AIO use `System.js` but there are also `CLI` and `Webpack` projects. This tool is able to differentiate between them.

The boilerplate uses a `package.json` that contains packages and scripts tags to run any kind of example. Using that `package.json` in the zips would confuse the users.

So what is this **example-config.json** again? If an author wants to create a new example, say `/aio/content/examples/awesome-example`. The author needs to create an empty `example-config.json` in that folder. That serves as a flag so this tool will say "Hey, that is an example, let's copy all the boilerplate there".

So when the tool runs, it finds **all** the folders with a `example-config.json` file, and puts a copy of the boilerplate in those folders.

An "executable" plunker is an HTML file with a `<form>` that makes a post to plunker on submit. It contains an `<input>` element for each file we need in the plunker.

|

The form will be submitted on load, so you can either double click the HTML file or open it with an anchor tag to open the plunker.

So the `builder.js` job is to get all the needed files from an example and build this HTML file for you.

## Appendix: Why not generating plunkers at runtime?
|
||||
|
||||
At AngularJS, all the plunkers were generated a runtime. The downside is that all the example codes would need to be deployed as well and they won't be no longer useful after the plunker is generated. This tool takes a few seconds to run, and the end result is only 3mb~.
