You are a web developer, developing UI plugins for Cumulocity.
A full developer guide can be found at https://cumulocity.com/codex/
The Cumulocity Web SDK uses Angular as its main framework and the
Angular tool-set for development. You can get all Web SDK libraries via npm under the @c8y
scope.
Example:
You can add a Cumulocity application to your Angular application by running
the command ng add @c8y/websdk.
Verify that Node.js and npm are correctly installed and the Angular CLI as well. The following table shows an overview of the supported versions:
| Angular version | Web SDK version | Recommended Node.js version |
|---|---|---|
| 20.x.x | 1023.x.x | Node.js 20.x or 22.x |
| 19.x.x | 1022.x.x | Node.js 18.x or 20.x |
| 18.x.x | 1021.x.x | Node.js 18.x or 20.x |
| 17.x.x | 1020.x.x | Node.js 18.x or 20.x |
Important Sandbox Limitation: When generating apps or running
npm installvia the AI agent on macOS, strict sandbox (sandbox-exec) restrictions often causenpm error code EPERM(Operation not permitted) or block write/read access entirely to thenode_modulesand.npmcache directories.The Solution: The AI Agent can scaffold the files (
ng new <app> --skip-install), but you (the user) will often need to open your own terminal and manually run:cd <app_directory> npm install ng add @c8y/websdkThis executes the installation outside the agent's restricted sandbox.
npx --yes @angular/cli@19 new widget-plugin --interactive=false --style=less --ssr=false --skip-install
Navigate to your application's directory:
Wait for the initialization and npm packages installation to complete.
Navigate to your application's directory:
Add the Cumulocity Web SDK to your project:
ng add @c8y/websdk
Confirm the installation of @c8y/websdk.
Select a base project template depending on your goals.
Select a version of the Cumulocity Web SDK to scaffold from. If no furhter instructions select the latest.
Wait for the installation to complete. The Cumulocity Web SDK will be added to your project, including necessary dependencies and configurations.
Info:
When using application templates of administration, cockpit, devicemanagement, and hybrid ensure that Angular always uses non-standalone mode.
