Haplo Repository plugins

Setting up an Haplo Repository application presumes that you already have an instance of the Haplo platform set up and available to upload plugins to. If you haven’t already, set that up first.

Choosing functionality is then largely a case of installing your desired plugins from the open source plugins available. The source code for these is available on GitHub, and a brief explanation of the plugins has been written up in our Haplo Repository plugins guide

Creating a root application plugin

Your application will need a “root” plugin, which will set up the dependencies for this application, and any custom schema to be added. Convention is that this is named <client>_application.

Create a new plugin using the Plugin Tool, and add the plugins you want to install to the plugin.json file. This allows you to add all of the required plugins to your system by installing this one root plugin, greatly simplifying development and deployment.
