Add Required Fields

Legacy Process

The information here applies only for Showpad Apps v1 (deprecated). While your existing v1 Showpad Apps will continue to work, we strongly recommend:

• Creating new apps with Showpad Apps v2
• Migrating your v1 apps to v2

Thanks to the scaffolding in the previous step, you already have two of the required files:

• index.html
• package.json

By default, the package.json file doesn't include two fields that are essential for your Showpad App:

• description
• author

These fields must be manually modified. Open the file and add them. Be sure to enter a value for these fields. They'll be needed by the Experience App CLI.

Your package.json file should now look similar to this:

{
  "name": "create-experience-app",
  "description": "Build your first Experience app",
  "author": "Showpad app creator",
  "private": true,
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vite",
    "build": "tsc && vite build",
    "serve": "vite preview"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "^x.x.x",
    "vite": "^x.x.x"
  }
}
