Building an ORI Universal Application

Zlynt

An ORI Universal Application is nothing more than an HTML page with access to some special browser APIs provided to it, rendered using a chromium-based browser.

Requirements

All the necessary HTML, JS, CSS files containing the app
app_info.json (Generated by the ORI Developer Toolkit)

Adapting the app_info.json to work with an Universal App

For the ORI App to recognize our Universal App as such, we need to add the following parameter to our app_info.json:

"rua": true,

This parameter tells the ORI App that the current app is an ORI Universal App

We also need to declare the setting for our Universal App, on the same app_info.json file:

"rua_parameters": {
    "fullscreen": false,
    "width": 1000,
    "minWidth": 1000,
    "height": 600,
    "minHeight": 600,
    "resizable": true,
    "frame": true,
    "developerTools": false
  }

The “rua_parameters” parameter includes the browser window settings for the Universal App

“fullscreen”: Open in full screen?
“width”: Inicial size of the window
“minWidth”: Minimum allowed windows size
“height”: Inicial height of the window
“minHeight”: Minimum allowed window height
“resizable”: Allow the user to resize the window
“frame”: Show window maximize, minimize and close button
“developerTools”: Enable chromium developer tools

Publishing into the ORI

After all configuration is done, we can create an installer and publish it into the ORI using the ORI Developer Toolkit.

Note: After the installer insertion into the ORI, select the installers compatibility with Universal App
