UiPath App is one of the latest products developed by UiPath which can be used to build Web Applications that can be used by clients to interact with Bots in a well built User Interface.
In my last post I discussed on how to build a UiPath App which takes entries from the user and returns a Ticket number generated by the bot.
Today, we will go a step further and learn how to build a Desktop(Native) App that provides the same functionality.
Lets begin!
Step 1: Build a UiPath App.
You can refer to my last post for a step by step tutorial on how to build a UiPath App.
Or you can download the project from here and publish on your Account:
Step 2 : Download the UiPath Client Framework.
The basic framework is provided by UiPath itself. You can download it from here.
Step 3 : Make the required Changes.
1. icon.png : Add your logo file here and update its name to icon.png.
2. main.js
2.1 : RUNTIME_URL (line 7) - change this to point to the production URL of your App.
2.2 : Window Parameters (lines 18-27) - change these parameters to meet your requirements like the Title shown on the window.
2.3 : Replace mainWindow.loadURL(RUNTIME_URL) with mainWindow.loadURL(RUNTIME_URL,{userAgent: 'Chrome'})
3.package.json
3.1 : displayName (line 3) - Name of your app
3.2 : productName (line 21) - Name of the installed app.Step 4 : Create the App.
Run the following command in your machine :
1. Open CMD and Navigate to your project.
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run distStep 5 : Test the App.
And that's it!
Hopefully you learnt a little about how to build a Native App using UiPath App Today!
See you in the next one!
