As soon as we created a Solution in Wayfast, we can start creating projects. At this point, the application brings the possibility to start different type of project’s development. In this lesson, we are going to review the “Application” type.
How to create an “Application” project?
Now that we have the main structure created, we can click on “Project” button and build the first element to initiate a project’s application.
...
It’s important to analyze which type of project fits better to your application objectives. In this case, we are going to select “Application” type. Let’s focus on the following values to select:
Workflow
Application
Source Code
Once we select the type of project, we can choose which Login Type is going to be used between the following options:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
SSO | for accessing the application through Single-Sign-On access to the application authentication. |
User and PassTraditional login type | for wayfast built-in authentication |
Anonymous | TBD |
...
for skipping authentication process allow everyone to access. |
“Language” field. This attribute will be important if you want to translate your application in different languages. You can set your language of choice here. We will learn more about this functionality in “Translator” feature in future related chapters.
Let’s click on “Accept” button to verify that save the Project is generated. This is an important milestone since it will define the whole structure for your applications.
...
Dashboard will provide the main information regarding the status of your “Requirements”, Size of your code, database and finally the “Runs” information.
Next step is save the project. Automatically the “Select Skin” . In this point in time your project was already created and it is visible in the dashboard but there is one last step pending.
...
A “Select Skin” popup will open right after you save the project. Just the popup will offer different templates to apply in project’s interface. In case we want to change the skin in the future, we can modify the selection through the “Modify Project” feature that we are going to analyze in future lessons.
...
Recap
“Application” type is the main way to establish the development structure that will generate a web based application with the corresponding requirements and connections to DB. In the following lessons, we are going to analyze which are the differences between the “Application” and “Workflow” project’s type.
