Creating an App

You can create a Flogo® app from the Apps page.

Procedure
1. Open the Apps page.
2. Click Create/Import app.

   The app details page opens. By default, the app is named in a sequential order in the format New_Flogo_App_<sequential_number>. For example, if you created three apps without renaming them, then the first one has a default name of New_Flogo_App_1, the second one is called New_Flogo_App_2 and the third one is called New_Flogo_App_3. The version of a newly-created app is 1.0.0 and is displayed as v: 1.0.0 beside the name of the app. You can edit the version of the app. For more information, refer to Editing the Version of an App .

3. Edit the app name to a meaningful string. To do so, click anywhere within the app name and edit it, then click anywhere outside the text box to persist your change.
   Note: The app name must not contain any spaces. It must start with a letter or underscore and can contain letters, digits, periods, dashes, and underscores.
4. Click Create.
   ResultThe app is created. When the app is created, the following files are generated in the <FLOGO_HOME>/apps/<app>/ directory:

   • flogo.json: contains the app itself
   • manifest.json: contains the manifest details such as the endpoints, memory resource details, and so on. The manifest.json file is automatically updated whenever you make changes to the app.

   You can now create one or more flows for the app. See the Creating a Flow topic and its sub-topics for details on creating a flow.
