Hi,
Is it possible to create a new app (Mobile / Desktop Version) from the existing project?
I have an existing project as an admin portal and want to create a mobile app for client-side using backend features from the existing projects (like Server Connect / API, Database &, etc).
If it is not possible, what is the best practice to maintain these 2 apps that share API functions and its database?
Regards,
Reza B
Hi Reza,
You are half way there already. You just need to build your front end out. You need to use your server connect from your web version any way.
Thanks Brad. Can you elaborate on the last two sentences for us novices.
Sure, the documentation explains it better than I can.
When building mobile or desktop apps they do not support any server side code so therefore you need to have an external site with all of your server connect APIs that can be used within your mobile/desktop app.
For example I built a mobile app for our clients. I had to build the web version anyway so I built that first. Then I built out the mobile app using the server connect API from the web app. All I had to build in the mobile app was the UI.
Hope that helps. Still early here and haven’t had my fill of coffee yet. 
Excelent! I really appreciate your help.
I believe I am about 4 timezones before your location. I do feel the same regarding the “coffee first” principle. BC is a very beautiful place! I always enjoy traveling in BC.
Remember that the mobile application pages themselves have to be .html.
Don’t mean to tell you how to suck eggs. Forgive me if you’re already aware of this factor.
I didn’t know that… thanks Dave!
You are welcome. Android and IOS have no way of processing EJS or PHP, which is fine on the back-end as the data-source, but front-end has to be .html.
