Create an App from scratch

Calypso · May 29, 2022, 1:40pm

Hi,
I’m learning how to build an App. I want do it from scratch and reproduce the slack template integration.
My first step is the authentication using tunnel, middleware to link React between Monday and the React app.
I can’t fully understand what is done. Having hard time to reproduce it and test.
Is there guides or courses to help me to get started from scratch this kind of app?

Hello @Calypso and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here

Are you referring to software like ngrok and localtunnel?

Hello @Calypso, welcome to the community!

Here are some resources to help you get started.

If you are using ngrok, check out this starting guide:

If you are using localtunnel:

Here is an example implementation of localtunnel in one of our example apps:

github.com

mondaycom/welcome-apps/blob/master/apps/github-node/src/helpers/tunnel.js

const mondayTunnel = require('@mondaydotcomorg/tunnel').default;
const { cache, cacheKeys } = require('../services/cache-service');

const MAX_RETRIES = 5;

const createTunnel = async (port, retries = 0) => {
  const tunnel = await mondayTunnel({
    port,
    subdomain: process.env.TUNNEL_SUBDOMAIN,
  });
  const { url } = tunnel;

  const usedSubDomain = url.includes(process.env.TUNNEL_SUBDOMAIN);
  if (!usedSubDomain && retries < MAX_RETRIES) {
    console.warn('could not use requested subdomain, retrying');
    tunnel.close();
    return setTimeout(() => {
      createTunnel(port, ++retries);
    }, 200);
  }

Let us know if this documentation makes sense with what you’re looking to build!
