Manager
Modern IDEs are remarkably powerful and user-friendly. Many developers use them as an alternative the their OS finder/explorer.
As of release 10.03.66, you can use your IDE to create and customize API Logic Projects:
als start
Created projects will show up here as directories. (You create projects anywhere, and move them; this is just the default).
Choose your IDE
The default IDE is VSCode. You can specify your favorite IDE, e.g.
als start charm
Creating Projects: auto_open
By default, the Manager starts with an environment variable APILOGICSERVER_AUTO_OPEN
. It's defaulted to code; you can set it:
export APILOGICSERVER_AUTO_OPEN=charm # powershell: $env:APILOGICSERVER_AUTO_OPEN="pycharm"
Pycharm Notes: your value may be charm or pycharm, depending on your installation. Also, on windows, the Manager terminal window is tied up when you create a project.
Or, use "" to disable auto_open.
You can set other environment variables here, e.g.
export APILOGICSERVER_VERBOSE=true
Note: your
venv
is defaulted for VSCode. It must be configured in PyCharm.
Here's a useful link about environment variables.
Customizing Projects
If you want to customize/run the project, do so in another instance of VSCode. You may find it helpful to acquire this extension: Open Folder Context Menus for VS Code
. It will enable you to open the project in another instance of VSCode.
