Experience App SDK

Introduction

The Experience App SDK is a typescript library to help you utilize ShowpadJS in your experience apps.

Requirements

Development

• HTML & JavaScript knowledge
• a Code Editor (we like Visual Studio Code)
• Node.js 15+

Showpad

• Ultimate subscription to Showpad
• Administrator access to Showpad's Online Platform

Platform & Browser Compatibility

@next versions: Versions tagged with --next might contain small issues. Only use in production if you can alter the .Showpad package quickly.

Development

You can run your extension point from localhost in latest Chrome, Firefox, Edge & Safari.

Production

| | WEB | iOS | Android | Windows | | ----------- | :---: | :---: | :-----: | :-----: | | SDK Version | 3.0.0 | 3.0.0 | 3.0.0 | 3.0.0 |

Showpad Experience Apps run inside Iframes: Use relative paths in production.

The Experience App SDK targets ES2022: Transpile your code if you need legacy support.
