Advanced tools
A IO Connect Browser Platform application (or "Main application") in the context of IO Connect Browser is a web application that uses the @interopio/browser-platform
package. This app is responsible for configuring the entire IO Connect Browser environment and acts as a central hub for all IO Connect Browser Client apps in your IO Connect Browser project. All IO Connect operations are routed through this Main application, meaning that this is the place where you can get centralized logging, information about all operations and details about the general state of your project. The configuration for all IO Connect Browser libraries (e.g., Application Management, Layouts, Workspaces, Plugins, Notifications) is handled here.
The Main application also provides tracking and control over non-IOConnect applications opened through it. The level of control is limited, but all basic operations are available - open, close, receiving events, listing, adding and manipulating via Workspaces.
If the Main application is closed, all IO Connect Browser Client applications will lose their connection to IO Connect Browser and therefore - all IO Connect capabilities. Opening the Main app again won't reestablish the connection, because this will effectively be an entirely new window with a new session and new context. However, if the Main application is refreshed, the existing IO Connect Browser Client apps will detect that and will reconnect as soon as the Main app is back online.
IO Connect Browser Platform requires a license token to initialize. Please contact Interop.IO Sales team at sales@interop.io to obtain a license token.
