Adding New Module

To add new module to the application do the following:

• edit {{{menu.json}}}
• add JSON section for a new module "New Energy":

     { 
         "id"    : "energy",
         "label" : "New Energy"
     } 

so the resulting {{{menu.json}}} looks as follows:

# this is a project menu file
  {
    "menu" : [
              { 
               "id"      : "simulate",
               "label"   : "Simulate",
               "icon"    : "pngs/simulate.png",
               "modules" : [ 
                            { 
                             "id"    : "penergy",
                             "label" : "Energy"
                            }
                           ,{                             <--- BEGINNING of the "energy" module section
                             "id"    : "energy",           
                             "label" : "New Energy"
                            }                             <--- END of the "energy" module section 
                           ]
               }
             ]
  }

• "genapp" the application
  • change to the base directory ({{{[path_to]/demo}}})
  • run {{{genapp}}} from command line
• clear the browser's cache
• go to {{{http://your-ip-address/demo}}}, press "Simulate" and note the difference:
