Apps doctype

The io.cozy.apps doctype is used to store installed apps.

Apps (or Webapps) are core applications used to interact with the instance data.

For example, the drive app can handle files, photos will manage photos & albums and banks the financial data.

When an app is installed, the Cozy stack creates a new io.cozy.apps document in the instance io.cozy.apps database. You can get more informations on the official docs.

Attributes

The available attributes in a io.cozy.apps document are available in the official docs: https://docs.cozy.io/en/cozy-apps-registry/#properties-meaning-reference

Special io.cozy.apps doctypes

Some folders are remarkable, like the ‘Administrative’ and the ‘Photos’ folders. You shouldn’t address them by their path as it may vary depending on the user language and the user may have renamed them anyways. To identify them, you can ask for a special referenced_by attribute. For example, a request for all io.cozy.files referended by the doctype io.cozy.apps and the document id administrative will return you the io.cozy.files document of the folder ‘Administrative’ whatever its name or path.

Here is the list:

ADMINISTRATIVE FOLDER: io.cozy.apps/administrative
PHOTOS FOLDER: io.cozy.apps/photos Root Folder of Photos. Used to create PHOTOS_BACKUP FOLDER & PHOTOS_UPLOAD FOLDER
PHOTOS_BACKUP FOLDER: io.cozy.apps/photos/mobile Folder used to put photos synched by the native app
PHOTOS_UPLOAD FOLDER: io.cozy.apps/photos/upload Folder used to put photos uploaded by the Photo web app.
