The app configuration object

The app configuration object appears within an Interbit configuration file. It describes the run-time configuration for an Interbit application running in a web browser, specifying which peer nodes to connect to, which blockchains should be loaded into the browser, and the path to its index.html file so that the peers and chains information can be stored for run-time use.

{% include "app.js" %}

In the above example, the app configuration is being applied to the account app.

Properties

peers Array	The list of peer nodes that this application’s browser nodes should connect to. Typically, you would not specify a port; applications served via HTTP (or HTTPS) automatically use the traditional port. However, if you run an Interbit node and an Interbit application on the same host, you should specify the port. Specify host or host:port as appropriate.
chains Array	The list of blockchains that this application should load into the browser. Each entry in the list is a chain alias, that must already be defined in the Interbit configuration file.
indexLocation String	The filesystem path to this application’s index.html file. The information in peers and chains is updated in the index.html file, stored in a DOM element with id="interbit".
