-This page talks about packaged apps—how

-you implement them,

-and how they're different from

-extensions and ordinary web apps.

-</p>

-<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>

-<p>

-A packaged app is a web app

-that's bundled into a <code>.crx</code> file

-and can use Chrome extension features.

-You build a packaged app just like you build an extension,

-except that a packaged app can't include a

-<a href="browserAction.html">browser action</a> or

-<a href="pageAction.html">page action</a>.

-Instead, a packaged app includes at least one HTML file

-within its <code>.crx</code> file

-that provides the app's user interface.

-</p>

-<p>

-Packaged apps are a type of

-<a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/apps/">installable web app</a>—a

-web app that can be installed in Chrome.

-The other type of installable web app is a

-<a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/apps/docs/developers_guide.html">hosted app</a>,

-which is an ordinary web app with a bit of additional metadata.

-</p>

-<p>

-If you're developing a web app for the Chrome Web Store,

-you might want to use a packaged app

-instead of a hosted app if any of the following are true:

-</p>

-<ul>

- <li>

- You don't want to run a service to host your app.

- </li>

- <li>

- You want to build an app that works really well offline.

- </li>

- <li>

- You want tighter integration with Chrome,

- using the extension APIs.

- </li>

-</ul>

-<p>

-To learn more about

-the differences between web apps and websites,

-extensions and packaged apps, and packaged apps and hosted apps,

-read these:

-</ul>

-<h2 id="manifest"> The manifest </h2>

-<p>

-A packaged app's manifest can have any field

-that's available to extensions,

-except for "browser_action" and "page_action".

-In addition, a packaged app's manifest <b>must</b>

-have an "app" field.

-Here is a typical manifest for a packaged app:

-</p>

-<pre>{

- "name": "My Awesome Racing Game",

- "description": "Enter a world where a Vanagon can beat a Maserati",

- "version": "1",

- <b>"app": {

- "launch": {

- "local_path": "main.html"

- }

- },</b>

- "icons": {

- "16": "icon_16.png",

- "128": "icon_128.png"

- }

-</pre>

-<p>

-The "app" field has one subfield, "launch",

-which specifies the <em>launch page</em> for the app—the

-page (HTML file bundled into the <code>.crx</code> file)

-that the browser goes to when the user clicks the app's icon

-in the New Tab page.

-The "launch" field can contain the following:

-</p>

-<dl>

- <dt>local_path:</dt>

- <dd><em>Required.</em>

- Specifies the launch page

- as a relative path referring to a file

- in the <code>.crx</code> package.

- </dd>

- <dt>container:</dt>

- <dd> The value "panel" makes the app appear

- in an app panel.

- By default, or when you specify "tab",

- the app appears in a tab.

- <!-- PENDING: In the overview

- (or somewhere else before here)

- we should show and define both app panels and tabs.

- We should link to that place from here. -->

- </dd>

- <dt>height:</dt>

- <dd>

- If the container is set to "panel",

- this integer specifies the height

- of the panel in pixels.

- For example, you might specify

- <code>"height":400</code>.

- Note that you don't use quotation marks in the value.

- This field specifies the height of the area

- to display contents in;

- window decorations add a few more pixels to the total height.

- If the container isn't a panel, this field is ignored.

- </dd>

- <dt>width:</dt>

- <dd>

- Similar to "height",

- but specifies the width of the panel.

- </dd>

-</dl>

-<p>

-Packaged apps usually provide a 16x16 icon

-to be used as the favicon for

-tabs that contain app's pages.

-They also should provide a 128x128 icon,

-but not a 48x48 icon.

-See the manifest documentation for the

-<a href="manifest.html#icons">"icons" field</a>

-for more information.

-</p>

-<p>

-For further details on what a packaged app's manifest can contain, see the

-<a href="manifest.html">manifest documentation</a>.
