In this manual, a portal is a client block, which can solve the following problems:
-
provide an alternative web-interface, which is usually intended for users outside of the organization;
-
provide an interface for integration with mobile applications and third-party systems.
A specific application may contain several portal modules intended for different purposes; for example, in an application, which automates business tasks, it can be a public web site for customers, an integration module for a mobile application for ordering a taxi, an integration module for a mobile application for drivers, etc.
The cuba base project of the platform includes the portal module, which is a template to create portals in projects. First, it provides basic functionality of the client block to work with Middleware, and second, it includes the universal REST API to work with entities.
