Getting started with WebApps

A WebApp is simply a predefined file structure. Please refer to Sitevision's GitHub repository, for example code.

  • index.js *mandatory
    • The starting point for a WebApp. This is where route configuration is set up. The concept is influenced by Express.js.
  • main.js *mandatory
    • The main component. Starting point when a WebApp is rendered.
  • reducer.js
    • Updates the WebApp's state. Read more about state management here.

  • hooks.js
    • Allows for code execution before page rendering starts
  • manifest.json *mandatory
    • The manifest contains metadata for a WebApp, such as version and id.
  • template/ *mandatory (at least one template)
    • Put templates in this directory. WebApps use underscore templates.
  • component/
    • Put components in this directory.
  • i18n/
    • Put i18n bundles in this directory using a JSON format. The name of the file decides the language.
  • module/
    • server/
      • JavaScript modules that will be executed server side. SiteVision's Public API may be used here, but not objects bound to the browser context.
    • client/
      • JavaScript modules that are used client side.
    • common/
      • JavaScript modules that are used both client and server side.
  • config/
    • Put configuration files here. Valid configuration files are:
      • index.html
      • config.js
      • config.css
  • css/
    • Put CSS-files in this directory. Files in this directory will be combined into a single CSS-file.
  • resource/
    • Put static resources, such as images, in this directory.

A client SDK is provided to facilitate working with HTTP-requests and URLs.
