User guideDeploying
From the gallery
Deploy a working example in any supported framework, then make it your own.
The Gallery lists apps the Toft team publishes. Deploy one to see what a working app in your framework looks like, then read and change its source.
If the Gallery page says it is switched off, your administrator has not enabled it.
Two kinds of item
Section titled “Two kinds of item”| What it is | Who can deploy it | |
|---|---|---|
| Example | A working app in one framework. Yours to change. | Anyone who can create apps |
| Extension | A tool that adds a capability to the install. | Administrators only |
Some installs list extensions only. Gallery items require Toft 0.7.0 or later.
Deploy an example
Section titled “Deploy an example”- Open Gallery and select Deploy on an item.
- Set a Name and Slug, and fill in any variables it asks for.
- Select Deploy.
The result is an ordinary app: your slug, your settings, your sharing. Edit it, redeploy it, delete it. Deploy another copy makes a second one.
An example has no update channel — once deployed, it does not change unless you change it. Settings → Unlink from the gallery removes the record of where it came from; nothing else changes.
What an item cannot do
Section titled “What an item cannot do”A gallery item names code and may ask for environment variables. It cannot grant itself a permission, change a setting, or reach anything you could not.
