Overview
The davinci community app library is a collection of apps that are accessible from the davinci workspace. Apps help users accomplish various tasks. Apps are coded as a Javascript module and hosted on a webserver.
Required App Methods
There are only two required methods that a module needs to be implement in order to be used as an app within the davinci platform.
- $setup - called right after the app is loaded to give it the ability to set up anything in needs in order to run properly.
- $run - called whenever the app is activated.
Sample Apps
Components
Components are units of functionality, such as a chart or table. The davinci platform provides methods to copy/paste as well as saving components. An app does not technically need to implement any components in order to function, however, using the davinci component specification simplifies many of the integrations with other apps on the platform, as well as enabling the app to be able to save itself for later retrieval.
