This is a simple addon which will render a widget component that when clicked will display a 'Hello World!' message (or a custom one).

This addon example statically serves the manifest.json file under the following path:

{baseUrl}/public/manifest.json

The only required change before getting started is to update the 'baseUrl' value inside the ./public/manifest.json file. See below for a quickstart on how to retrieve a public URL for our example.

Running the addon app:

go run main.go

The above command will run a http server on port 8080.

For this example we made use of a free service called ngrok.

After downloading the binary, we can execute the following command which will expose the server running on our local port through a public URL.

ngrok http 8080

Last, set the public URL that ngrok provides inside the manifest.json file:

{
  "baseUrl": ""
}

displayed-text The custom text to be displayed.

The addon makes use of the following HTTP handlers:

• Static files handler (for serving the 'public' directory)
• UI Component handler
