The SDK also exposes methods to interact with the apps associated with the user. This API must be prefixed with apps

• apps.index: A list of all of your apps and their associated domain names

• apps.create: Creates a new app, assigns an initial subdomain, and sets an asset placeholder

• apps.deleteByDomain: Destroy an app identified by domain

Permissions

To use the platform APIs, your app needs to ask the user for permission to access the user's apps. This is handled via the parameters to webnative.initialise and webnative.redirectToLobby:

const permissions = {
  platform: {
    apps: "*",
  },
  // ... other permissions
}
​
// Initialise webnative with expected permissions
webnative.initialise({ permissions }).then(state => {
  if (!state.authenticated) {
    // We don't have the permissions yet. Let's send the user to auth.fission.codes and ask for them:
    webnative.redirectToLobby(permissions)
  } else {
    // we're all set up! 🎉
  }
})

The value at permissions.platform.apps can be

• "*": Complete app management access for all of the user's apps

• An array of domain names, e.g. [ "an-app.fission.app", "another-app.fission.app" ]: Permission to manage particular apps. Those apps can be published to or deleted.

API

apps.index

A list of all of your apps and their associated domain names.

Needs these permissions: { platform: { apps: "*" } }.

Params:

Returns: { domain: string }[] an array of app domains

Example:

const index = await sdk.apps.index()
// [ { domain: 'your-fission-deployment.fission.app' } ]

apps.create

Creates a new app, assigns an initial subdomain, and sets an asset placeholder.

Needs these permissions: { platform: { apps: "*" } }.

Params:

• subdomain: string optional

Returns: subdomain the newly created subdomain

Example:

const newApp = await sdk.apps.create()
// 'your-fission-deployment.fission.app'

apps.publish

Publishes a new app version by IPFS CID. If the app doesn't exist yet, it has to be created with apps.create first.

Needs either permissions for the particular app domain or full app management permissions. See Permissions.

Params:

• domain: string required

• cid: string required

Example:

await sdk.apps.publish('your-fission-deployment.fission.app', 'QmRVvvMeMEPi1zerpXYH9df3ATdzuB63R1wf3Mz5NS5HQN')

Getting a CID can be tricky. Here's a way to turn a WNFS public subdirectory into a CID:

const appPath = "Apps/your-fission-deployment/Published` // If you've put app files here
const ipfs = await webnative.ipfs.get()
const rootCid = await fs.root.put()
const stats = await ipfs.files.stat(`/ipfs/${rootCid}/p/${appPath}/`)
const cid = stats.cid.toBaseEncodedString()
// This is the CID you can use for publish:
await sdk.apps.publish('your-fission-deployment.fission.app', cid)

apps.deleteByDomain

Destroy app by domain.

Needs either permissions for the particular app domain or full app management permissions. See Permissions.

Params:

• url: string required

Returns:

Example:

await sdk.apps.deleteByDomain('your-fission-deployment.fission.app')
