Application manifest

Each Hubleto app must provide its manifest.yaml file containg basic description of the app.

Information from manifest are used in many places, e.g.:

• during the app installation
• in the Hubleto main settings panel
• in the list of apps in the app store
• when rendering Hubleto's main sidebar

The manifest is stored in manifest.yaml file in the app's root folder. Sample manifest looks like this:

namespace: \HubletoApp\Custom\MyFirstApp
rootUrlSlug: myfirstapp
name: My First App
icon: fas fa-home
author:
  name: "My Company"
  nick: "my.company"
highlight: A sample app's manifest

Here we explain particular items of the manifest.

Example:

namespace: \HubletoApp\Custom\MyFirstApp
