Board Item Menu App Development Help

[hellotimi (David Kalu (Formula PRO - Advanced Automations for native monday formula columns, Mirror Columns & Subitems!))]

Hey everyone,

I’m new to developing apps for the Monday platform. I began exploring the developer documentations to learn how to build board item menu apps. So far I have been able to create an app in the Developer Center and create a board item feature. And right now, I see a blank board item when I click to see the Apps of a board item as seen in the screenshot.

How can I render my app in that view?
How can I get the columns for the currently selected board item within my app?
Is there some boilerplate code to get started with building these board item menu apps?

The developer resources are a bit lacking when it comes to the actual implementation details for board item menu apps or any other board apps for that matter.

Please help!

Hello there @hellotimi and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here

To render something in that feature, you have to follow these instructions. Your view can come from a custom URL, a zip file or from monday code (as shown in the doc).

You can check the context of what is selected using the SDK as explained here

The first link here has a quickstart guide you can use. It is not for this specific feature, but for views in general.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,
Matias
