App Configurations

Configuration Files

• Set on a per app build basis
• app/config/*.js (and config.json)
• User overrides go in app/config/user.js
• Configuration partitioned in separate configuration files
• Use Alloy.CFG in code to access these configurations

App Preferences

• Allows configuration changes after the application is built
• Alloy.CFG configurations are used and set in Admin Dashboard via app/assets/config/admin.js config

Business Manager Configurations

• Allows configuration after app is built and without access to the iPad
• New custom attributes need to be added to int_ocapi_ext_core/config/EA_metadata.xml as well as which grouping they are in
• Any set of string attributes or defaults can be set in int_ocapi_ext_core/config/EA_Preferences/sites/SiteGenesis/preferences.xml
• Can be set via custom attributes on Site Preferences or Store system objects
• To send configurations back set the label to have the Alloy.CFG configuration name in curly braces ( {} )

  For example: DIS Image Service Base URL {disImageService.productionBaseUrl} is Alloy.CFG.disImageService.productionBaseUrl in Endless Aisle
