Commands from a web to the ctrlX Core

[ericvergara]

Hello,

During the development of an app we would like to create an app that redirects the user to a url in their web browser (the user would need to have access to the internet in their PC),

So the question is, can I command or read data to/from the Core through this url? I guess that this url should point the IP and port of the Core but if this is possible, how can we do it?

Many thanks,

It is not clear for me what should be achieved. You can create an app, that inserts a own tab in the ctrlX CORE web UI. You define the link that will be opened by clicking to it. No internet connection is needed. See documentation of the WebServer example in our SDK.

If you create your own front end that will be shown, you can use a data layer client in your app for accessing data of the data layer. See samples for different languages in the documentation of our SDK.

I think that in our case with the dalayer client app will be enough, as we want to communicate with the datalayer through our own front end,

Many thanks!
