We are using 99
as an example WebApp ID in this doc. Depending on the WebApp ID that you'd like to use, replace 99
with the correct ID. Keep in mind that if you already have WebApps in the site you are working on then then some WebApp IDs may already be reserved.
WebApps in Siteglide rely on 3 different files to work correctly.
JSON Structure - Used by Siteglide Admin and front-end to define structure of the WebApp with user-friendly names, and other UI metadata.
Schema - Used to define the database structure itself
Form Configuration - Used when submitting WebApp items front-end
There are 2 ways to create/edit a WebApp via CLI.
Safest - Create/Edit the JSON structure file (marketplace_builder/views/partials/tables/webapps/99.liquid
), and then in Siteglide Admin simply click 'Save' in the Table Builder view. This will generate a matching Form Configuration and Schema file.
Most flexible - Create/Edit each of the 3 files manually. However, this relies on you keeping all 3 files in sync.
This is used by Siteglide Admin to output WebApp field data with user-friendly names and other UI options (order, field type, etc.)
Location: marketplace_builder/views/partials/tables/webapps/99.liquid
Contents:
Please see the Field Types document for all the relevant types.
This is what defines the database table structure, and how data will be stored.
Location: marketplace_builder/custom_model_types/webapps/webapp_99.yml
Contents:
The above are all the default fields that are needed, the last field is an example of a standard text field. Please see the Field Types document for all the relevant types.
This is used when submitting a WebApp item front-end. This file was also previously used to output WebApp structure data in Siteglide Admin, but that is now the job of the JSON structure file.
Location: marketplace_builder/form_configurations/webapps/webapp_99.liquid
Contents:
After both the above files are synced you will then need to refresh Siteglide Admin and your WebApp will appear under WebApps in the sites left hand menu
If you need layouts for your WebApp, these will be saved to:
marketplace_builder/views/partials/layouts/webapps/webapp_99/detail/default.liquid
marketplace_builder/views/partials/layouts/webapps/webapp_99/list/default.liquid
Both files contain the following layout by default: <p>{{this['name']}}</p>
