<Warning>
|
|
Apps befinden sich derzeit in der Alpha-Testphase. Die Funktion ist funktionsfähig, entwickelt sich jedoch noch weiter.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
## Übersicht
|
|
|
|
Once your app is [built and tested locally](/l/de/developers/extend/apps/building), you have two paths for distributing it:
|
|
|
|
* **Publish to npm** — list your app in the Twenty marketplace for any workspace to discover and install.
|
|
* **Push a tarball** — deploy your app to a specific Twenty server for internal use without making it publicly available.
|
|
|
|
## Publishing to npm
|
|
|
|
Publishing to npm makes your app discoverable in the Twenty marketplace. Any Twenty workspace can browse, install, and upgrade marketplace apps directly from the UI.
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
* An [npm](https://www.npmjs.com) account
|
|
* Your package name **must** use the `twenty-app-` prefix (e.g., `twenty-app-postcard-sender`)
|
|
|
|
### Schritte
|
|
|
|
1. **Build your app** — the CLI compiles your TypeScript sources and generates the application manifest:
|
|
|
|
```bash filename="Terminal"
|
|
yarn twenty app:build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Publish to npm** — push the built package to the npm registry:
|
|
|
|
```bash filename="Terminal"
|
|
npx twenty app:publish
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Auto-discovery
|
|
|
|
Packages with the `twenty-app-` prefix are automatically discovered by the Twenty marketplace catalog. Once published, your app appears in the marketplace within a few minutes — no manual registration or approval required.
|
|
|
|
### CI publishing
|
|
|
|
The scaffolded project includes a GitHub Actions workflow that publishes on every release. It runs `app:build`, then `npm publish --provenance` from the build output:
|
|
|
|
```yaml filename=".github/workflows/publish.yml"
|
|
name: Publish
|
|
on:
|
|
release:
|
|
types: [published]
|
|
|
|
permissions:
|
|
contents: read
|
|
id-token: write
|
|
|
|
jobs:
|
|
publish:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: "24"
|
|
registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org
|
|
- run: yarn install --immutable
|
|
- run: npx twenty app:build
|
|
- run: npm publish --provenance --access public
|
|
working-directory: .twenty/output
|
|
env:
|
|
NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For other CI systems (GitLab CI, CircleCI, etc.), the same three commands apply: `yarn install`, `npx twenty app:build`, then `npm publish` from `.twenty/output`.
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
**npm provenance** is optional but recommended. Publishing with `--provenance` adds a trust badge to your npm listing, letting users verify the package was built from a specific commit in a public CI pipeline. See the [npm provenance docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/generating-provenance-statements) for setup instructions.
|
|
</Tip>
|
|
|
|
## Internal distribution
|
|
|
|
For apps you don't want publicly available — proprietary tools, enterprise-only integrations, or experimental builds — you can push a tarball directly to a Twenty server.
|
|
|
|
### Push a tarball
|
|
|
|
Build your app and deploy it to a specific server in one step:
|
|
|
|
```bash filename="Terminal"
|
|
npx twenty app:publish --server <server-url>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Any workspace on that server can then install and upgrade the app from the **Applications** settings page.
|
|
|
|
### Version management
|
|
|
|
To release an update:
|
|
|
|
1. Bump the `version` field in your `package.json`
|
|
2. Push a new tarball with `npx twenty app:publish --server <server-url>`
|
|
3. Workspaces on that server will see the upgrade available in their settings
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
Internal apps are scoped to the server they're pushed to. They won't appear in the public marketplace and can't be installed by workspaces on other servers.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
## App categories
|
|
|
|
Twenty organizes apps into three categories based on how they're distributed:
|
|
|
|
| Kategorie | Wie es funktioniert | Visible in marketplace? |
|
|
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- |
|
|
| **Entwicklung** | Local dev mode apps running via `yarn twenty app:dev`. Used for building and testing. | Nein |
|
|
| **Published** | Apps published to npm with the `twenty-app-` prefix. Listed in the marketplace for any workspace to install. | Ja |
|
|
| **Internal** | Apps deployed via tarball to a specific server. Available only to workspaces on that server. | Nein |
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
Start in **Development** mode while building your app. When it's ready, choose **Published** (npm) for broad distribution or **Internal** (tarball) for private deployment.
