Create Multiple Apps with SOD #224

Open ScottB-Ronco opened 1 year ago

ScottB-Ronco commented 1 year ago

In the setup of SOD I see the options of Init New App, Export App and Import App.

Do these options allow us to create different apps using SOD?

For example right now I have just been creating fields, exposing existing fields or doing field transfers.

Now I am in the process of starting to use your features option to create whole new areas to BC, but if possible would like to create a different app for this so that it doesn't get mixed up with custom fields app.

Is this possible using the options noted above or is it best to just keep everything under one app?

In general, it's best to keep it under one app. There are s few cases if you have other development done by your partner and you need to avoid circular dependencies (you using fields from their and and they're using fields from your app) by splitting development into separate apps.

OK so then what are the options of init, export & import app used for then?

Backups are always good... Some folks kill their sandboxes on a regular schedule and use "import" to restore their app in the sandbox.

... and there are folks who split their development into multiple apps and they use import/export to switch between apps.
