Global Configuration

2021-07-21 11:23

app.json is used to implement global configuration and set up the path of page files, window display, multiple tabs and so on.

Here is a basic configuration example:

copy

{
  "pages": [
    "pages/index/index",
    "pages/logs/index"
  ],
  "window": {
    "defaultTitle": "Demo"
  }
}

Complete configuration item:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
pages	Array	Yes	Set page path.
window	Object	No	Set default window display for all page.
tabBar	Object	No	Set the display of bottom tabbar.

pages

In the app.json, the pages have the array attribute, with string for each member in the array, used to specify the pages of the Mini Program. In the Mini Program, adding or deleting pages modifies the pages array.
Each member of the pages array represents the path of the related page. The first member indicates the home of the Mini Program.
The page path does not need any suffix. The framework automatically loads the .json, .js, .axml and .acss files of the same name. For example, if the development directory is:

copy

├── pages
│   ├──index
│   │    ├── index.json
│   │    ├── index.js
│   │    ├── index.axml
│   │    └── index.acss
│   ├──logs
│   │    ├── logs.json
│   │    ├── logs.js
│   │    └── logs.axml
├── app.json
├── app.js
└── app.acss

The following configuration shall be done in the app.json:

copy

{
  "pages":[
    "pages/index/index",
    "pages/logs/logs"
  ]
}

window

The window is used to set up the status bar, navigation bar, title, window background color, etc. for the Mini Program.

Sample codes:

copy

{
  "window":{
    "defaultTitle": "Default Title"
  }
}

tabBar

If the Mini Program is a multi-tab application (pages switchable in the window bottom bar of the client), the tabBar configuration item can be used to specify the tab presentation pattern and the corresponding page in case of tab switch.
Note:
• On the destination page via page jump (my.navigateTo) or page redirection (my.redirectTo), the bottom tab bar is not displayed even when the page is defined in the tabbar configuration.

The tabBar has the following configuration items:

Property	Type	Required	Description
textColor	HexColor	NO	Text color.
selectedColor	HexColor	NO	Highlighted text color.
backgroundColor	HexColor	NO	Background color.

Each item configuration:
