RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT USING A CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

An online content management system enables rapid application development by an application developer using an application development system to create a content application configured to execute on a client device. A designated folder on the application development system is designated for sharing with the client device. Configuration data containing parameters for controlling the operation of the content application is stored in the designated folder. The content application on the client device reads the configuration data from the designated location and applies the parameters on execution and thereafter. When the configuration data is modified on the application development system, the modified data is synchronized by the content management system to the client device. The content application on the client device reads the modified configuration data and applies the modified parameters during execution.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
storing at an online content management system an application configuration data associated with a content application configured to execute on a client device, the application configuration data including a plurality of application parameters; synchronizing, with the online content management system the application configuration data to the client device, wherein the content application on the client device is configured to read the application configuration data upon execution and apply the application parameters; receiving and storing on the online content management system a modified version of the application configuration data, the modified version of the application configuration data including at least one modified application parameter; and synchronizing, with the online content management system, the modified application configuration data to the client device to produce a modified application configuration data thereon, wherein the client application on the client device is configured to read the modified application configuration data upon execution, and to apply the at least one modified application parameter.
