Which JS Frameworks does CtrlX core use for it's UI?

[cdutz]

Hi all,

I'm starting to work on building an App for usage on CtrlX Core devices. I would like it to integrate into the rest of the platform as seemlesly as possible. I know that there are many UI frameworks out there and many of them have problems behaving nicely if mixed on a single page. 

A quick look at the Developer-Tools of my browser didn't let any usual suspects grab my attention.

Hello, 

Is over AngularJS but the template is shared just with boschrexroth app. You would like to integrate your app in the webserver? to serve it behind /myapp/ ? In which language are you creating the server?

[cdutz]

Yeah ... so I'd love to have the UI integrate into the Web-UI of the CtrlX-core Web UI ... that you click on a button in the navigation bar on the left and then get the App content displayed in the content area underneath the top-bar.

Are there any guides on how to achieve this? I have been looking hard to find some information on how to do this, but so far couldn't find much.

Languages don't really matter for me as I sort of live with all of them ... Java, Go, JS, (Python, if I have to) ... just please no web-development in C or C++ 😉

Yes, integration into the ctrlX Web UI is done via the snapcraft package-assets interface. Here is a guide on the topic as well as an example in Python.

Python Webserver UI Integration

Hi,

So I just built and installed that app and here a click on the "Python Webserver" opens a new Browser Tab with the content of the App.
I was looking for something more integrated.

Like if I click on PLC or EtherCat, I get the content of the app displayed in the main frame of the Web-Application and I still have my status bar and the navigation on the side.

If the answer is simply: If you have your own App, it never gets this tightly integrated. Only Bosch internal central applications have this, then at least I can stop trying to do so 😉

Hello, 

As I stated, i know what you want to do. It is not possible. I doublecheck again with the devs but i don't think there will be the possibility!

This is the last discussion I had seen on the topic and the answer was essentially "no, but we are working on it".

Ok ... that explains why I haven't been able to find any resources to such an integrated approach. Thanks for confirming this. Then I'll concentrate on an App with a separate UI and do a re-write once that's possible.
