In B1, we utilize applications and modules to provide structure to our development process. Think of it as a tree structure. At the highest level, we have the application, which is further divided into different modules. These modules are used to organize the app and handle the associated objects. Each individual app can be deployed independently, enabling us to manage multiple applications simultaneously within a single repository.

2 Steps by step guide

Create the app

1. Navigate to “Design” → “Applications” in B1
2. Click on the button “New App” in the toolbar

3. Fill in the following attributes
1. Code → MyApp
2. Name → MyApp
3. Description → My First App
4. Installed → Set the checkmark

If you click on Create button, an object of type SwatApp will be created in the background, which we will populate in one of the later tasks.

In this folder, all objects that belong to this module will be stored and saved later. You can find the folder in Gitpod under src/data/repository

We have just created our first application with module as shown in the above figure. We will launch it at the end of the training to see the result.

Apps can be created in Build.One using the SwatApp object type. When creating them, an initial screen, theme and some other configurations can be set. An app can be exported to deploy it as a standalone environment on a selected server, see ‣ .
