#524: MiniApp Manifest

Visit on Github.

Opened Jun 12, 2020

Hello TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of MiniApp Manifest.

MiniApp Manifest defines a JSON-based profile file that provides developers with a centralized place to put essential information associated with a MiniApp. Such information include the basic metadata of a MiniApp as well as configurations regarding version control, window style, page resources, permission control etc.

Further details:

  • I have reviewed the TAG's API Design Principles
  • The group where the incubation/design work on this is being done (or is intended to be done in the future): W3C MiniApps CG
  • The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done ("unknown" if not known): W3C MiniApp WG (under preparation)
  • Existing major pieces of multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this design: Issues
  • Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this design: n/a
  • This work is being funded by: Huawei

You should also know that...

The attribute list in the MiniApp Manifest would be further extended so as to provide more feature settings of the MiniApp as the project progresses. Other useful attributes from the Web App Manifest may also be mirrored (see Explainer) when the MiniApp community agrees on the necessity.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):

🐛 open issues in our GitHub repo for each point of feedback

[discussing TAG feedback on miniapps]

Sangwhan: does webapp manifest allow for extensibility?

Kenneth: yes you can do this...

Dan: do we need to create a new doc for "web app lifecycle" which incorporates both PWA and MiniApps? There's an old PWA lifecycle doc...

Sangwhan: we could suggest adding some new editors...

Dan: feels like a lifecycle doc should document things from a developer perspective.

[bumped and Sangwhan will work on fleshing out the doc for next week
