Build a Webapp

Using Web apps, you can create client based web-applications that use data from CRM and can be used to perform specific tasks.

Building a web app

Once the Zoho CLI is installed, you can start creating your own web app.

Step 1:

Once the CLI is installed, run this command to create a new project.

$zet init

Step 2:

Select a Zoho service and give a Name for the widget which you want to create. In this case, select Catalyst as the service.
The sample project will be created in the respective folder directory.

Step 3:

To open the sample project, run the following command:

cd {Project_name}

Now, you can start desiging and including the UI components for the Widget.

Note

You can find the HTML file for the web app in the app folder, named "app_file.html" by default.

Step 4:

The app_file.html file contains the structure, design and components of the Web app. You can create your web app from the HTML file.

Note

You can add additional designs and functionality to the Web apps by creating the necessary js files and stylesheets (optional).

Step 5:

Once you have created the web apps, you can host the web apps locally and test it.
To host the web apps locally:

$zet run
