Configuration Manager: Web UI Configuration
You can quickly publish a Web application that you developed in Kuika. To publish the application you have developed, you must make the necessary adjustments to the Web UI via Kuika Configuration Manager.
This training content consists of the following topics;
- 1.Creating a new Configuration in Kuika for Web UI
- 2.Adding app Configuration information for Web UI
- 3.Adding Backend settings for Web UI
- 4.Adding Google Maps information for Web UI
- 5.Adding Title Bar settings for Web UI
To create a new configuration, open the Configuration Manager view mode from within the project you are working on at platform.kuika.com. Select Web UI from the Web UI, iOS, Android, and API options under the Create a new configuration heading in the Configuration Manager view mode. Name the configuration via the text input box that opens at the bottom and click the "CREATE" button.

The information on which URL the application you developed will connect to the Backend via “Backend URL”.
You can leave this blank to use the Backend settings created by Kuika.
With Kuika, you can use Virtual Directory in your web application development process.
The use of virtual directory is optional. If you are going to host the Web application you are developing on a DNS (for example, www.kuika.com or abc.kuika.com), you do not need to use a virtual directory and you can leave this field blank in WEB UI Configuration Manager. However, if you are going to host the Web application you are developing in a subdirectory (www.kuika.com/app1 or abc.kuika.com/app2), you need to use a subdirectory as a virtual directory. If you want to host the Web application you have developed in a subdirectory, you can enter the subdirectory information as a virtual directory in the text input box under the "Virtual Directory" heading in WEB UI Configuration Manager.
In the application you developed, you need to select the Backend Configurations and select "Configuration" in Configuration Manager.

If there is map usage in the Web application you have developed, you must add the map information. To perform this operation, click on the drop-down menu opposite the “Google Maps” under the “Maps” heading. Select the “ADD NEW” option in the drop-down menu.

To generate an API Key via Google Maps, you must create a new project in Google Cloud Console . You can find detailed information about creating a new project in the information content provided by Google .
One of the features that a Web application has is the "Title Bar" displayed in the browser. You can quickly add “Title Bar” information to a Web application you have developed through Kuika.
