App Components Example App Server

This app server is part of the app components example app. By following the aforementioned guide, you'll see how an example Express server communicates with requests made from the client. In particular, you'll be able to demo:

• Widget
• Modal form
• Lookup
• Entry point (within the Asana UI)

Note: To view an example app server with rule actions, see app-components-rule-action-example-app.
