# Tilde Friends Cheat Sheet
|
|
|
|
Making apps for the impatient tilde friend.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- either run your own instance or use [tildefriends.net](https://www.tildefriends.net/)
|
|
- register and login
|
|
- [optional] use the `ssb` app to create yourself an SSB identity
|
|
|
|
## Development Process
|
|
|
|
1. hit the `edit` link from any app or new app URL
|
|
2. make sure the path in the text box is under your username: `/~username/app/`
|
|
3. write server-side code in `app.js`
|
|
4. click the `save` button or press the save hotkey (Alt+S or _[browser-specific modifiers]_+S)
|
|
5. see the app reload on the right side
|
|
|
|
## Output
|
|
|
|
- **`app.setDocument(html)`** - send HTML to the browser
|
|
- **`print(...)`** - send values to the browser's developer console
|
|
|
|
## Persistence
|
|
|
|
- **`app.localStorageGet(key)`** -> **`value`**
|
|
- **`app.localStorageSet(key, value)`**
|
|
- **`database()`**, **`shared_database(key)`**, **`my_shared_database(package, key)`**
|
|
- **`db.get(key)`** -> **`value`**
|
|
- **`db.set(key, value)`**
|
|
- **`db.exchange(key, expected, value)`** -> **`exchanged`**
|
|
- **`db.remove(key)`**
|
|
- **`db.getAll()`** -> **`[key1, ...]`**
|
|
- **`db.getLike(pattern)`** -> **`{key1: value1, ...}`**
|
|
|
|
## SSB
|
|
|
|
- **`ssb.createIdentity()`** -> **`id`**
|
|
- **`ssb.getIdentities()`** -> **`[id1, ...]`**
|
|
- **`ssb.appendMessageWithIdentity(id, content)`** -> **`message_id`**
|
|
- **`ssb.blobStore(blob)`** -> **`blob_id`**
|
|
- **`ssb.blobGet(id)`** -> **`blob`**
|
|
- **`ssb.sqlAsync(query, args, row_callback)`**
|
|
|
|
## TF-RPC
|
|
|
|
Stock helper code for calling functions across the web server and browser boundary.
|
|
|
|
- on the server: `import * as tfrpc from '/tfrpc.js';`
|
|
- in the browser: `import * as tfrpc from '/static/tfrpc.js';`
|
|
- either direction:
|
|
- register a function: `tfrpc.register(function my_function() {});`
|
|
- call a remote function: `let promise = tfrpc.rpc.my_function();`
|
|
|
|
## Share
|
|
|
|
- give out web links: [https://www.tildefriends.net/~cory/screwble/](https://www.tildefriends.net/~cory/screwble/)
|
|
- use the `Attach App` button when composing a post in [the SSB app](https://www.tildefriends.net/~core/ssb/)
