Create features

Features serve as an authorization mechanism that controls access to specific JSAPIs. To use a JSAPI, you must first bind it to a feature.

This topic describes how to create features in the Mini Program platform.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that the following requirements are met:

  • The JSAPIs that are used to construct your feature are created.
  • The JSAPI-related capabilities are implemented and injected on the native side of the super app.
  • Only workspace admins can create features.

Procedure

To create a feature, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to Mini Program Platform.
  2. In the left navigation panel, click Features to navigate to the Features page.
  3. On the Features page, click + Add Feature.
