Basics

Terminology

  • simulator is used to refer to the main window (the one with the address bar for loading applications)
  • simulation is used to refer to a simulated application's window

Accepted protocols

​file:​

  • used to load local files
  • can be used via the address bar manually
  • can be used by dragging and dropping either a folder with index.html in it or an HTML file in the main simulator interface
  • writeJsonToFile writes in the same directory as the loaded HTML file

Notes

Since localStorage data is isolated on a per origin basis AND the origin of all URLs using the file: protocol is file://, data separation cannot be achieved with this protocol. If this is a concern for you, use the http protocol instead.

Example

file:///home/username/project/super-app/index.html file:///d:/super-app/index.html

​http(s):​

  • used to load served web applications (it doesn't matter whether the server is local or remote)
  • can be used via the address bar manually
  • writeJsonToFile writes in the user data directory, in a folder called webapps-data

Example

http://localhost:3000 https://super.remote.app
  • serves applications in the webapps folder found in the user data directory
  • writeJsonToFile writes in the user data directory, in a folder called webapps-data

Notes

Though simulator: URLs resemble file: URLs, these do benefit from separation of localStorage data (as the origin is determined to be simulator://app-name).

Examples

simulator://super-app simulator://super-duper-app
