Load code from launchpads and Load code from applications

This feature serves the purpose of exclusively loading the code, enabling autocompletion within the the preview App Designer (scripts, CSS and header). Its primary function is to provide convenient code suggestions while writing scripts in an app, particularly when working with a launchpad. Additionally, it can be beneficial when embedding one app within another, as it facilitates autocompletion from the parent app.

Print width

The formatter will make line breaks after the given number of characters.

Compiler Target

Run only in Launchpad

Disables the application allowing it only to run from a launchpad and any attempt to reach it will result in a 404 error.

Minify Source Code

Minifies all source code. Minifying source code in JavaScript reduces its file size by removing unnecessary characters and whitespace, optimizing performance and improving website loading times.

Enable File Storage

Enabling this option allows the application’s JSON definition to be automatically written to a file named your-app.json . This ensures that the JSON definition of the application is easily accessible and can be utilized as needed.

Roles

In Roles you can add roles to your application for security purposes.
