Prerequisites

Setup

  • Clone the repository.
  • Copy the js-examples.json configuration file and paste it in the io.Connect Desktop app configuration folder located at %LocalAppData%\interop.io\io.Connect Desktop\<ENV>-<REG>\apps, where <ENV>-<REG> represents the environment and region of io.Connect Desktop (e.g., DEMO-INTEROP.IO).
  • Open a command prompt in the base repo directory and run npm install to install all dependencies.
  • Run npm start to start a server at port 4242 where the apps will be hosted.
  • Start io.Connect Desktop.

Now you will be able to start all example apps from the io.Connect Desktop launcher. All examples are grouped in the "JavaScript Examples" folder.

Examples

App Management

This example app uses the App Management API to start and list apps and app instances:

  • lists the names of all registered visible apps;
  • lists the instances of the currently running visible apps;
  • starts app instances;
  • listens for any added or removed apps;
  • listens for any started or stopped instances of apps;

App Preferences

This example demonstrates how to use the App Preferences API to save, update and retrieve custom app preferences for the current user.

Channels

This example contains two apps which use the Channels API. You can open more than one instance of the subscriber app to use different Channels.

Channels Publisher

After selecting a Channel, you can publish any data to the current Channel or to any other Channel.

Channels Subscriber

Select a Channel from the Channel Selector UI or join/leave Channels programmatically. Get the context of any Channel. The context data of the current Channel is also displayed in the app.

Client List

Select a client to start the Client Portfolio app with the selected client as its context. If the Client Portfolio app is already running, selecting a client will update its context.

Client Portfolio

This app is registered as an Intent handler and will be started when you select a client in the Client List app, or if already running, its context will be updated and it will show the selected client's portfolio.

Interop Request/Response

This example contains two apps which use the Interop API to communicate.

Press Esc or the "Close" button to hide the Search Bar. The Search Bar will hide also when it loses focus. Selecting an action from the results, will execute it; selecting a Workspace, will open it; selecting a client, will open the io.Connect Desktop Client Contact demo app showing info about the selected client.

Search Provider

Starts automatically as a hidden service app and registers itself as a search provider for actions, Workspaces and clients. Registers a shortcut for opening the Search bar and Interop methods for executing actions when the user clicks a result in the Search Bar.
