How to create applications in Bitrix24 correctly?

Question

Bitrix24

Good afternoon!

I’m trying to understand what options there are for convenient and no less important, correct application development for Bitrix 24. I’m reading the Bitrix API and more and more the question arises and there are so few answers (.

The most important questions are:
1) Is it possible to create a full-fledged application in JS without PHP. ? By this I mean - the introduction of the application into the CRM interface and its configuration.
2) Whether it will be possible to store this application on the server. Well, everything is clear, it is possible. But won't the Bitrix24 API be cut because of this?

Well, I will be glad if someone shares their knowledge or information about how they write an application for Bitrix24. I will also be glad to interesting articles on this topic, which would describe in detail how to write an application correctly and efficiently.

This is almost what I need, but I can’t create my application in the business process : https://habr.com/en/post/279477/

application in Bitrix, and embed it in various processes: https://habr.com/en/post/459012/

Answer 1

Is it possible to create a full-fledged application in JS without PHP.?

You can, but each time you have to upload the archive with the application to the server.

Will the Bitrix24 API be cut because of this?

Will not. There is a special PHP SDK for working with the Bitrix24 API:
https://github.com/bitrix-tools/crest
There is also a Bitrix24 Marketplace playlist on the Bitrix YouTube channel.
There is a portal for Bitrix24 developers dev.bitrix24.ru
In general, before writing your own activity for business processes, start with a simpler application. Try to transfer some data to Bitrix through the application, register event handlers, gradually complicate the tasks.
Then you will feel cramped within the cloud, and you will switch to the box, start learning D7, creating your own modules and components. Well, in general, there are more opportunities for developing boxed applications, because. in the rest API, whatever one may say, not all methods of working with Bitrix24 are laid out.
In fact, the Bitrix24 rest API is quickly mastered, the main thing is to understand the mechanism of action.
