Working with Projects
In the Lianja App Builder, you can organize your Apps, Database and Library files into Projects.
With a Project open, the Apps, Data and Library workspace explorers show just the files included in your Project, giving you a clear view of your current development.
When you want to deploy, you can click the checkbox for your Project in the Deploy workspace and all your Project's files will be selected, saving you from selecting them individually and risking missing essential files.
If you are building PhoneGap Mobile Apps, your App needs to be in a Project and your Project open during the build.
For other Apps, using a Project is not required, but can streamline development and simplify deployment.
Getting Started
You select a Project by double-clicking on its name in the left sidebar Project files tree. The "(default)" Project shows all Apps, Databases and Library files.
After opening a Project, only those files that you have added to your Project will be displayed in the Apps, Data and Library workspaces.
To create a Project right-click on the left sidebar project files tree and choose "New project..." or click the "+" in the actionbar at the bottom of the Project files tree.
Once you have a Project open you can add Apps, Data and Library files to the project by right-clicking on the files tree in the left sidebar and selecting "Add file to project...". To remove a file from a project simply right-click on the filename in the files tree and select "Remove from project...".
Deploying Desktop and Web Apps from a Project
In the "Deploy" workspace, the files tree has a "Projects" branch. Selecting a Project by checking the checkbox to the left of it will automatically select all files that are in that Project in the deploy files tree. This simplifies deployment as you can always deploy the same group of files each time.
