Web-App export and deployment

Steps in brief (for now; more details soon):

Exporting the Web-App

• Load the script you want to export in the script editor in desktop-Kojo.
• Clock on File -> Export Script as Web-App.
• This will compile the script via iKojo, and create a Web-App based on the script under ~/kojo-export.

Running the Web-App locally

• Go over to ~/kojo-export/webapp, and launch index.html. This will open your system browser and start running the exported Web-App.

Putting the Web-App in the cloud (using Netlify)

• Assume that your Web-App will go live at https://yourapp.netlify.app
• Under the ~/kojo-export/webapp folder, update icon.png (if you want)
• Under the ~/kojo-export/webapp folder, update manifest.json (set start_url and url to https://yourapp.netlify.app)
• Login to Netlify (you can use your github id for this).
• Drag-n-drop your webapp folder onto the Netlify page to create a new site (with a Netlify generated name).
• Go to site settings and change the site name to yourapp from the Netlify generated name.
• Your site will now be live at https://yourapp.netlify.app

Creating a mobile app from your Web-App

• Point PWABuilder (www.pwabuilder.com) at your Web-App to generate an android app.
