Integrated Web Apps (IWA)

Integrated Web Apps are small web applications. They form parts of a native app 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.

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 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.

Generator

Generator are templates for Yeoman 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
