Simple greet app tutorial¶

Let’s write simple app ‘greet’. This app should contain at least one facet “someone” and one command “greet” in this facet.

Create app structure¶

Project structure to create.

greet-app
- pom.xml
- src
  
  main
  
  groovy
  
  global.groovy
  
  someone
  
  someone.groovy
  
  resources
  
  descriptor.json
  
  assets
  
  someone-channel-logo.svg
  
  channel
  
  channel-type.json

descriptor.json¶

/src/main/resources/descriptor.json

We need descriptor for the app that defines facets, app identity and other configuration of the app.

{
  "id": "greet",
  "version": 0,
  "facets": [
    {
      "id": "someone",
      "name": "Greet Someone",
      "requires": [
        "default.default"
      ],
      "iconName": "plugin:greet:someone-channel-logo.svg"
    }
  ]
}

As you can see we define app with id = “greet” and version = 0.

This app contain one facet with id = “someone”. FullFacetId will be “greet.someone”

Facet name is “Greet Someone”. It requires “default.default” facet. When we add facet “greet.someone” to the channel facet “default.default” will be added with it.

Channel with this facet will have someone-channel-logo.svg icon from our assets folder. Common pattern is: “plugin:${appId}:${assetFileName}.svg”

assets¶

/src/main/resources/assets

We can add .svg icons here to use it in the facet descriptors as channel icons. Use fill=”currentColor” to inherit channels’ tree icon colors.

Example:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16">
    <g fill="currentColor" fill-rule="evenodd">

groovy scripts¶

/src/main/groovy/global.groovy

You can use this file to add command to the all channels in your workspace.

If you want it write further implementation in this file and don’t create facet specific groovy files.

For your custom apps you can combine this file with other facet specific groovy files.

/src/main/groovy/someone/someone.groovy

Use this file to implement the “greet.someone” facet scoped business logic.

File name can differ with facet name and there are can be many files.

But path to the file must match to the pattern “/src/main/groovy/${facetId}/”

implementation

def greet(name) {
 send "Hello, $name!"
}

Just add this to your groovy file to define “/greet” command with string “name” parameter.

channel types¶

/src/main/resources/channel

This is the place for the channel type descriptors. Skip it for this tutorial.

build zip archive to deploy¶

run “mvn clean assembly:single” to build the app. You can find it in the newly created “target” folder.
