This page explains how to run a WelsonJS Application Package (ZIP file) using the WelsonJS Launcher.
How to run the WelsonJS Application with Launcher?
Step 1. Run the WelsonJS.Launcher.exe file and select the app location.
The WelsonJS Launcher supports both local app files and external app files (a feature to download app files from the network, which will be supported in the future). Select the appropriate option.
The following explains the meaning of each checkbox (option):
-
"I want to use a specific script": The default entry point file is
bootstrap.js. Select this checkbox if you want to change it and set a different file as the entry point. Enter only the file name, excluding the extension. -
"This is an Interactive Service Application": Select this checkbox if the app you are running is a service app and needs to operate in User Interactive mode.
Step 2. Choose the app file (zip file)
If you selected a local app file, a dialog window will open where you can choose your app file (zip file). Select your app file and click Open.
By following this process, you will be able to run apps built and distributed on the WelsonJS platform.
How to make the WelsonJS Application Package?
Simply compress your project into a ZIP file. You don’t need to worry about the directory structure when compressing it. The WelsonJS Launcher will automatically detect and find the correct structure, even if the packaged app's directory layout differs.
