My app in the Onion Console

[Pavils Jurjans]

Now that I've made some stuff on my Omega, I'd like to develop a nice web interface to interact with it. Of course, I can make my custom script listening on a custom port, but it would be cool to see my app appear in the Onion Console.

Is there some guide, how to achieve this?

@Pavils-Jurjans We are working on a more detailed guide that shows you how to create apps that uses APIs from the Console. For now, here's a simple guide. You can create your own app on the console by going into /www/apps and make a copy of the directory onion-app-template to my-app. There is a file in the folder called app.json that defines the name of the app as well as if the icon should be showing on the Launcher. Then you should rename onion-app-template.html to my-app.html, and replace all occurrences of onion-app-template to my-app. All the logic will be defined in my-app.html. We are using a Framework called Polymer to create the apps.

We will follow up with a more detailed tutorial on how to create and deploy apps once the App Store is out of private beta.

Cheers!
