Management Applications
When the Ioto agent is built, a selected management application will also be built.
The management apps are browser-based VueJS apps that communicate with either the local Ioto web server or with the cloud-based Ioto service. The applications are stored under the ./apps directory.
| Name | Directory | Description |
|---|---|---|
| auth | apps/auth | Test user login and authentication app. |
| console | apps/console | Local developer console for Ioto. |
| headless | apps/headless | Headless application without a UI. |
| kickstart | apps/kickstart | Local Kickstart sample "router" management app. |
| manager | apps/manager | Cloud-based device manager developer console for Ioto. |
| unit | apps/unit | Unit tests app. |
Building
All applications have a local Makefile that is invoked from the top-level Ioto Makefile. You can use the local Makefile to build just the application.
Local Makefiles support the following targets:
| Target | Description |
|---|---|
| config | Configure the application and export config files to the ./config directory |
| build | Build the application. Residuals are typically in the ./ui/dist directory |
Application Structure
Each application directory is organized with a similar directory /file structure:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Makefile | Top-level makefile for the application |
| README.md | Integrated documentation for the app |
| config | Directory containing the ioto.json5 and other configuration files |
| ui | VueJS user interface app (if present) |
| src | Device-resident code to integrate with Ioto |
If the app provides a user interface, the ui directory will contain:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| vite.config.js | Vite build configuration instructions |
| src | UI VueJS source code for the app |
| reports | Build assets size metrics |
| Makefile | UI Makefile |
| public | Public assets for the UI (html pages, style sheets, images) |
| index.html | UI home page |
