|
|
|
|
Twenty apps are TypeScript packages that extend your workspace with custom objects, logic, UI components, and AI capabilities. They run on the Twenty platform with full sandboxing and permission controls.
|
|
|
|
## How apps work
|
|
|
|
An app is a collection of **entities** declared using `defineEntity()` functions from the `twenty-sdk` package. The SDK detects these declarations via AST analysis at build time and produces a **manifest** — a complete description of what your app adds to a workspace. These functions validate your configuration at build time and provide IDE autocompletion and type safety.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
your-app/
|
|
├── src/
|
|
│ ├── application-config.ts ← defineApplication (required, one per app)
|
|
│ ├── roles/ ← defineRole
|
|
│ ├── objects/ ← defineObject
|
|
│ ├── fields/ ← defineField
|
|
│ ├── logic-functions/ ← defineLogicFunction
|
|
│ ├── front-components/ ← defineFrontComponent
|
|
│ ├── skills/ ← defineSkill
|
|
│ ├── agents/ ← defineAgent
|
|
│ ├── views/ ← defineView
|
|
│ ├── navigation-menu-items/ ← defineNavigationMenuItem
|
|
│ └── page-layouts/ ← definePageLayout
|
|
├── public/ ← Static assets (images, icons)
|
|
└── package.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
**File organization is up to you.** Entity detection is AST-based — the SDK finds `export default defineEntity(...)` calls regardless of where the file lives. The folder structure above is a convention, not a requirement.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## Entity types
|
|
|
|
| Entity | Purpose | Docs |
|
|
|--------|---------|------|
|
|
| **Application** | App identity, default role, variables | [Application Config](/developers/extend/apps/config/application) |
|
|
| **Role** | Permission sets on objects and fields | [Roles & Permissions](/developers/extend/apps/config/roles) |
|
|
| **Object** | Custom record types with fields | [Objects](/developers/extend/apps/data/objects) |
|
|
| **Field** | Add fields to objects from other apps | [Extending Objects](/developers/extend/apps/data/extending-objects) |
|
|
| **Relation** | Bidirectional links between objects | [Relations](/developers/extend/apps/data/relations) |
|
|
| **Logic Function** | Server-side TypeScript with triggers | [Logic Functions](/developers/extend/apps/logic/logic-functions) |
|
|
| **Skill** | Reusable AI agent instructions | [Skills & Agents](/developers/extend/apps/logic/skills-and-agents) |
|
|
| **Agent** | AI assistants with custom prompts | [Skills & Agents](/developers/extend/apps/logic/skills-and-agents) |
|
|
| **Connection Provider** | OAuth credentials for third-party APIs | [Connections](/developers/extend/apps/logic/connections) |
|
|
| **View** | Pre-configured record list views | [Views](/developers/extend/apps/layout/views) |
|
|
| **Navigation Menu Item** | Custom sidebar entries | [Navigation Menu Items](/developers/extend/apps/layout/navigation-menu-items) |
|
|
| **Page Layout** | Tabs and widgets on a record's detail page | [Page Layouts](/developers/extend/apps/layout/page-layouts) |
|
|
| **Front Component** | Sandboxed React UI inside Twenty | [Front Components](/developers/extend/apps/layout/front-components) |
|
|
| **Command Menu Item** | Quick actions and Cmd+K entries | [Command Menu Items](/developers/extend/apps/layout/command-menu-items) |
|
|
|
|
## Sandboxing
|
|
|
|
- **Logic functions** run in isolated Node.js processes on the server. They only access data through the typed API client, scoped to the app's role permissions.
|
|
- **Front components** run in Web Workers using Remote DOM — sandboxed from the main page but rendering native DOM elements (not iframes). They communicate with Twenty via a message-passing host API.
|
|
- **Permissions** are enforced at the API level. The runtime token (`TWENTY_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN`) is derived from the role defined in `defineApplication()`.
|
|
|
|
## App lifecycle
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
|
│ Development │
|
|
│ npx create-twenty-app → yarn twenty dev (live sync) │
|
|
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ Build & Deploy │
|
|
│ yarn twenty dev:build → yarn twenty app:publish │
|
|
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ Install flow │
|
|
│ upload → [pre-install] → metadata migration → │
|
|
│ generate SDK → [post-install] │
|
|
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
|
|
│ Publish │
|
|
│ npm publish → appears in Twenty marketplace │
|
|
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **`yarn twenty dev`** — watches your source files and live-syncs changes to a connected Twenty server. The typed API client is regenerated automatically when the schema changes.
|
|
- **`yarn twenty dev:build`** — compiles TypeScript, bundles logic functions and front components with esbuild, and produces a manifest.
|
|
- **Pre/post-install hooks** — optional functions that run during installation. See [Install Hooks](/developers/extend/apps/config/install-hooks) for details.
