Development Guide for Enterprise Application (EA) ​

This guide provides detailed instructions for developers looking to build plugins, extensions, and custom applications for the Motanamy Enterprise Application (EA) platform.

Architecture Overview ​

The EA platform is built on a modular architecture that allows for extensive customization and extension. Key components include:

  • Core Engine: Handles business logic, data processing, and system orchestration
  • Plugin System: Extensible framework for adding custom functionality
  • API Layer: RESTful and GraphQL APIs for integration
  • UI Framework: Component-based interface system for building user interfaces
  • Data Layer: Secure data storage and management with support for multiple databases

Setting Up Development Environment ​

Prerequisites ​

  • Node.js 18+ or Python 3.8+
  • Motanamy CLI Tool
  • EA SDK
  • Git for version control

Installation Steps ​

  1. Install Motanamy CLI:

    bash
    npm install -g @motanamy/cli
# or
pip install motanamy-cli

  2. Initialize EA Project:

    bash
    motanamy init ea-plugin my-ea-plugin
cd my-ea-plugin

  3. Install Dependencies:

    bash
    npm install
# or
pip install -r requirements.txt

Building Plugins ​

Plugin Structure ​

EA plugins follow a standardized structure:

my-ea-plugin/
├── src/
│   ├── main.js
│   ├── components/
│   └── services/
├── package.json
├── plugin.json
└── README.md

Key Files ​

  • plugin.json: Plugin manifest with metadata and configuration
  • main.js: Entry point for plugin initialization
  • components/: UI components for the plugin
  • services/: Business logic and API integrations

Example Plugin ​

javascript
// plugin.json
{
  "name": "my-ea-plugin",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Custom plugin for EA",
  "author": "Your Name",
  "main": "src/main.js",
  "permissions": ["read-data", "write-data"],
  "hooks": ["onUserLogin", "onDataUpdate"]
}

// src/main.js
import { EAPlugin } from '@motanamy/ea-sdk';

export default class MyPlugin extends EAPlugin {
  async onLoad() {
    console.log('My EA Plugin loaded!');
    this.registerHook('onUserLogin', this.handleUserLogin);
  }

  handleUserLogin(user) {
    // Custom logic for user login
    console.log(`User ${user.name} logged in`);
  }
}

API Integration ​

REST API Usage ​

javascript
import { EAAPI } from '@motanamy/ea-sdk';

const api = new EAAPI({
  baseURL: 'https://api.motanamy.com/ea',
  apiKey: 'your-api-key'
});

// Fetch user data
const users = await api.get('/users');

// Create new record
const newRecord = await api.post('/records', {
  name: 'New Record',
  data: { /* your data */ }
});

Webhooks ​

EA supports webhooks for real-time integrations:

javascript
// Register webhook endpoint
app.post('/webhook/ea', (req, res) => {
  const { event, data } = req.body;

  switch(event) {
    case 'user.created':
      handleUserCreated(data);
      break;
    case 'data.updated':
      handleDataUpdated(data);
      break;
  }

  res.status(200).send('OK');
});

UI Development ​

Using EA UI Components ​

jsx
import { Button, Form, Input } from '@motanamy/ea-ui';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <Input name="name" label="Name" />
      <Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
    </Form>
  );
}

Custom Styling ​

EA uses CSS-in-JS for component styling:

javascript
const styles = {
  container: {
    padding: '20px',
    backgroundColor: '#f5f5f5'
  },
  button: {
    backgroundColor: '#007bff',
    color: 'white',
    border: 'none',
    padding: '10px 20px'
  }
};

Testing and Deployment ​

Testing ​

bash
# Run unit tests
npm test

# Run integration tests
npm run test:integration

# Test with EA sandbox
motanamy test --env sandbox

Deployment ​

  1. Build Plugin:

    bash
    npm run build

  2. Upload to EA Marketplace:

    bash
    motanamy publish

  3. Deploy to Production:

    • Use EA dashboard to deploy
    • Or use CLI: motanamy deploy --env production

Best Practices ​

Security ​

  • Always validate user inputs
  • Use HTTPS for all API calls
  • Implement proper authentication and authorization
  • Regularly update dependencies

Performance ​

  • Optimize database queries
  • Use caching where appropriate
  • Minimize bundle size for plugins
  • Implement lazy loading for large components

Code Quality ​

  • Follow EA coding standards
  • Write comprehensive tests
  • Use TypeScript for better type safety
  • Document your code thoroughly

Troubleshooting ​

Common Issues ​

  • Plugin not loading: Check plugin.json for syntax errors
  • API errors: Verify API keys and endpoints
  • UI not rendering: Ensure all dependencies are installed

Debug Mode ​

Enable debug mode for detailed logging:

javascript
// In your plugin
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
  console.log('Debug mode enabled');
}
