General

Hi,

The author of this post asks about sharing data between multiple apps and is told that it is possible.

Is there a video or tutorial anywhere that shows how to do it ?

Thanks
Steve

Hello @Steve

To clone the database, we have export-import functionality. You can also read the following article. If this is not what you were looking for, please describe the step-by-step case.

Hi Inna,

I don’t want to clone it. I have a solution that has a mobile side which writes data to the database while the browser side will retrieve that data for display in a dashboard.

My assumption was that I have to write 2 apps as I thought that if I create 1 app when I publish it for mobile it will include the dashboard which will never be used and vice versa (the mobile side will never be used in the browser).

So if I am correct with 2 separate apps how do I share the database between them?

Thanks
Steve

Hi @Steve sounda like you have one app with multiple usecases, like an admin portal and client facing app. I think you should create separate container for each app facets, as with this way, each ui container is separated from another, but access the same backend. Afterwards you can publish each on their own subdomain. Or if you need also in app store.
