All the configurations is on `app-config.json`, the default configuration is for running the api-server and dashboard locally. You may check [src/app-config.ts](src/app-config.ts) for more details on the config file schema. +MicroApps are react components that can be used to build a page. The dashboard comes with many different micro-apps, each serving a different purpose when interacting with an Open-RMF deployment. The dashboard uses events to pipe information between micro-apps, for example clicking onto a task row in the Task app, will center the map onto the robot that the task was assigned to. -### (Optional) Add external resources. - -The `resources` option in the app config allows configuring various assets used by the dashboard.
