Marketplace

Repos

Marketplace repos are designed to be fully static. An example of the directory structure can be seen here.

|-- apps
|   |-- anura.example
|   |   |-- app.zip
|   |   |-- manifest.json
|-- libs
|   |-- anura.examplelib
|   |   |-- lib.zip
|   |   |-- manifest.json
list.json
manifest.json

Manifest

Each app is supposed to have its own manifest that lists details about the app.

• name: String - Program name. Required.
• icon: String - Path (from app directory) to the application’s icon. Optional but highly recommended. Marketplace will display this icon throughout the App.
• summary: String - Short program app description. Shown in the app preview. Required.
• desc: String - Long program app description. Shown in the app overview screen. Required.
• package: String - Package name (structured class-like, organization.programname). Required.
• data: String - Path (from app directory) to the archive containing the app data. Required.
• installHook: String - Path (from app directory) to the archive containing the app data. Only read if the program is an app. Optional.
• screenshots: Array [{ path, desc }] - Array of all the screenshots of an app. Optional.
• screenshots.path: String - Path (from app directory) to the screenshots. Required if object is present.
• screenshots.desc: String - Description of the screenshots. Optional.
• version: String - Version of the program. Used in the future for the anura update api. Optional.
• dependencies: Array [ String ] - Array of all the screenshots of all the dependencies of an app. Will be installed alongside your app. Optional.
• category: String - Program category. Required.

Here is an example of a manifest.json

{
    "name": "Example app",
    "icon": "example.png",
    "summary": "(tiny app description)",
    "desc": "(longer app description)",
    "package": "anura.example",
    "data": "app.zip",
    "installHook": "install.js",
    "screenshots": [
        {
            "path": "screenshots/something.png",
            "desc": "(screenshot desc)"
        },
        {
            "path": "screenshots/something2.png",
            "desc": "(screenshot desc)"
        }
    ],
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": ["(package identifier)"],
    "category": "game"
}

This is mostly the same for libraries, minus the dependencies and installHook sections.

Publishing

To make a repo accessible via the Store Library you should use the utility create-anura-repo. It is as simple as running a command in your terminal.

$ npx create-anura-repo

After doing this you can add host the repo statically and be able to use it in libstore.

libstore

Initialization

To initialize the libstore library, call the Store constructor with a networking client. The client must have a fetch function that returns Response objects.

Usage:

let libstore = await anura.import("anura.libstore@2.0.0");

marketplace = new libstore.Store(anura.net, {
    onError: (appName, error) => {
        anura.notifications.add({
            title: "libstore",
            description: `libstore encountered an error while installing ${appName}: ${error}`,
            timeout: 5000,
        });
    },
    onDownloadStart: (appName) => {
        anura.notifications.add({
            title: "libstore",
            description: `libstore started downloading ${appName}`,
            timeout: 5000,
        });
    },
    onDepInstallStart: (appName, libName) => {
        anura.notifications.add({
            title: "libstore",
            description: `libstore started installing dependency ${libName} for ${appName}`,
            timeout: 5000,
        });
    },
    onComplete: (appName) => {
        anura.notifications.add({
            title: "libstore",
            description: `libstore finished installing ${appName}`,
            timeout: 5000,
        });
    },
});

Adding a repo

To fetch a repo and its contents use the getRepo method. This method will return a StoreRepo or a StoreRepoLegacy Object. The repo url must end with a trailing slash.

Usage:

const marketplaceRepo = await marketplace.getRepo(
    "Anura App Repository",
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MercuryWorkshop/anura-repo/master/",
);
