MindTouch Dapper Wiki Features

Step 1: get Deki Wiki

Either download Deki Wiki, create an account on the DapperCamp wiki, or sign-up for your own free wiki. 

Step 2: create your dapp

Go to Dapper.net and either create or find a dapp that retrieves the information you want.

Step 3: invoke your dapp from inside Deki Wiki

Deki Wiki has several Dapper functions for invoking dapps depending on what kind of data you need to retrieve.

• dapp.value: retrieves a single value from a dapp
  
• dapp.html: retrieves a single value from a dapp and converts it an html element (link or image)
  
• dapp.list: retrieves a list of values
  
• dapp.table: retrieves all values from a dapp and displays it as a table
• dapp.run: retrieve all values from a dapp and publish them on the PageBus
  

All functions take the same set of parameters:

1. name: name of dapp to execute (w/o spaces in the name)
2. xpath: (optional) xpath expression for selecting a value or set of values
3. input: (optional) input uri for the dapp
4. args: (optional) additional named parameters used by the dapp
