Quick Tour of the Platform

A 30-minute overview covering key features, architecture, and core principles to get you started quickly.

Key Concepts

Modular Architecture

Decoupled components with reusable modules that integrate seamlessly into any workflow.

API-First Design

Everything is built around standardized APIs with auto-generated client libraries.

Real-time Integration

WebSocket-based updates and notifications for responsive user experiences.

Getting Started

Create Project

platform new my-app --type web

Project Setup

  • Auto-generated project scaffold
  • Includes TypeScript and ESLint
  • Configured with Webpack

API Examples


// Get user data
fetch('https://api.example.com/api/v1/users/me', {
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN'
    }
})
.then(r => r.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));

                        

Authentication

Use Bearer tokens in the Authorization header for all API requests. You can get tokens from the developer console at API Authentication.

Security Tip:

  • Never expose tokens in client-side code
  • Use refresh tokens for long-lived sessions
  • Revoke unused tokens regularly

Common Issues

Missing Dependencies

Ensure you have node_modules installed. Run npm install or yarn install in your project directory.

Rate limit exceeded

You've exceeded the API quota. Upgrade your plan or implement exponential backoff in your client library.
