Emulators
Emulators helps you to speed up the development. It opens up a new window that simulates the environment on the display.
By clicking on Create new emulator you add additional Emulator.
If you change your code, click on the Reload to force the changes to the Emulator.
Applet version control
In signageOS is everything versioned. You can create multiple versions of your Applet by clicking on the Create 1.0.1,… buttons.
The select box on the right side switches between your versions.
Applet editor
The top menu of the Editor enables you to open your code in selected Emulator AND to pick the version of our Javascript API. Each version has it’s own version of Javascript API.
The library that enclosed the Javascript API is called Front Applet. Version of the Front Applet are available under the Changelog category and are referenced from the Javascript API page.
Applet build
The Editor/Build tab switch button enables you to view the build and publish management. By clicking the build button for particular platform the signageOS cloud services will prepare the zip file with your built application. Just click the green Download application link under the platform name to download that zip file after the build finished.
Once you are done with the current development and you want to use your code in production we strongly recommend to Publish your Applet version. By publishing the version you disable any further modification of the code of currently selected version. So it makes sure anytime you push this version of your Applet into the device it will be the same.
