Showpad Developer Toolkit

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

Just as a mechanic needs special tools to work on a car, or a construction worker needs certain tools to work on building projects, developers need their own unique tools to get their jobs done. This is where the Showpad Developer Toolkit comes into play:

	Tool	Description
Development	Experience App SDK	An essential library for developing your Showpad Apps.
	Experience App CLI	Showpad's command line tool to help you build Showpad Apps.
	Development Proxy App	Allows you to develop against a real Showpad instance.
Enrichment	AppsDB	A key / value store for Showpad App developers.

Keep reading for an in-depth look at each of these tools.
