Custom Web Development in Losant

Hi @Lucas_Liberman, and welcome to the Losant Forums!

  1. Is it possible for me to upload my own Angular application onto the Losant platform and, if so, is there a tutorial on how to do this?

Yes, it is possible, and while we don’t have a tutorial specifically for Angular, we do have a React.js library template that demonstrates the core concepts …

If you are familiar with React, I would start by importing that template I mentioned, and you should hopefully be able to use that as a starting point for your Angular app.

  1. Could I integrate Losant’s own application templates into my Angular application?

You could use them as a starting point, yes - though the templates that make use of Application Experiences assume you are using our Experience Views for building your interface, which is rendered server-side using Handlebars templates. So while starting from a template is a good idea, it will still take some adjustments to convert it to an Angular application.

  1. Is there way I could implement the templates directly from my development environment?

You can import templates using our API directly, so you could write a tool that queries those and applies them to your application. Alternatively, I would suggest using the Losant UI to browse and import templates and then use the Losant CLI to pull the files you need for local development.


Hopefully this helps. If you have any questions about these responses please let me know. And again, welcome to Losant!
