# Integrated Web Apps (IWA)

Integrated Web Apps are small web applications. They form parts of a [native app](https://github.com/liquid-state/lg-platform-docs/tree/c45aad3ae70a9fe695486f61f5c7aee8f038cd62/native-apps/README.md) built with the Liquid Gears Platform.

Over time Liquid Gears has developed a framework which revolves around five pillars to enable the rapid creation of quality IWAs:

* core libraries
* helper libraries for React JS
* user interface toolkit
* blueprints
* generators

All components of the framework are open source, free software and available from the [Liquid State Github organisation](https://github.com/liquid-state/).

## Core libraries

The core libraries are agnostic to any particular Javascript framework.

The core libraries are:

* iwa-core
* iwa-router
* iwa-identity

## React helper libraries

Most IWAs created by Liquid Gears and Liquid State are coded using the [React JS](https://reactjs.org/) library (note: React JS not React Native).

These libraries are:

* iwa-react-router

## Liquid State UI Kit

Liquid State has developed a UI Kit based on React and the [Ant Design library](http://ant.design).

## Generator

Generator are templates for [Yeoman](http://yeoman.io) which can be used to set up all the boilerplate code for a brand new project or IWA.

## Blueprints

Blueprints are pre-made IWAs. They can be used as-is or as a starting point to kickstart the creation of an IWA focusing on a particular problematic. Available blueprints are:

* Login
* Registration
