Bundling apps

How to generate a JavaScript bundle for an app.

When you're ready to submit an app for review, you need to upload the app to the Developer Portal as a standalone JavaScript bundle. The starter kit includes a build script that handles this for you.

  1. Navigate into the starter kit:

    cd canva-apps-sdk-starter-kit
  2. Run the following command:

    npm run build

    An app.js file will appear in the dist directory.

  1. Log in to the Developer Portal.
  2. Navigate to an app via the Your apps page.
  3. Upload the app.js file to the App source > JavaScript file field.
  • Canva doesn't support code-splitting, so all code and dependencies must be in a single file.
