Overview

Apps in Laioutr

Apps are the modular building blocks that extend and customize your Laioutr frontend. They allow you to connect external systems, add business capabilities, and enhance your digital experience without hard-wiring functionality into the core platform.

Each app encapsulates a specific responsibility, for example commerce, content, search, analytics, personalization, or compliance. Instead of tightly coupling these concerns to your frontend, Laioutr keeps them decoupled, configurable, and replaceable. This ensures long-term flexibility and protects your frontend from vendor lock-in.

How the App Approach Works

Apps are selected and activated at the project level. Once enabled, they integrate seamlessly into your frontend through well-defined interfaces:

• Configuration over code, Apps are configured centrally and made available to the frontend without requiring custom glue code for every use case.
• Unified access, Data and functionality provided by apps are exposed in a consistent way, regardless of the underlying service or provider.
• Composable by design, Multiple apps can be combined within a single project, allowing teams to build tailored solutions that match business needs.

Apps can provide data sources, UI extensions, logic, or integrations that are consumed directly in Laioutr Studio and the frontend runtime.

Why Apps Matter

The app approach allows teams to evolve their digital stack independently of the frontend itself. Business teams can introduce new capabilities faster, while technical teams maintain architectural clarity and control.

In short, apps turn Laioutr into an extensible platform, one that grows with your business, adapts to changing requirements and enables continuous improvement without rebuilding your frontend.
