Plug-ins

Introduction

A plug-in is out-of-the-box component that can be easily added to your app. A plug-in can be as simple as a single page, or a single service but usually a plug-ins contains both a page, service and mapping to provide more complete functionality.

Any user can create his/her own plug-ins. These plug-ins will be private by default and available only for the user.

Public plug-ins are available for all Tiggzi users. If you created a plug-in and would like us to add it to our plug-in directory, please email us at [email protected].

Adding a plug-in to your app

To add a public (public or private) to your app:

1. From Project view, selelect Create New > From Plug-in.
2. Select the plug-in that you want to add to your app. You can select multiple plug-ins:
   
3. Click Import selected plugins button. Look in the Project view, you should now see files from the plug-in added to your app:
   
4. Most services will first require to register an app on the API provider sign and will give you keys that you need to use when invoking the service. Every API provide will be different but in general that’s what happening. Once a plug-in is imported, look under Services node and you will see a service with a name such as ServiceSettings (or similar). Open this service. This is where you can set the API keys required by the API provider.
   
5. Once the keys are set, you can test the plug-in. If you need to set one of the plug-ins pages as first, you can do it in Project > App settings > General.
