Build and deploy your first Jotsu application
Create a customer application, change its homepage with Codex, preview the update, and deploy it to Cloudflare.
What you will build
A customer application with a homepage that says Hello World. You will preview the change as Codex makes it, then deploy the application.
Watch the complete workflow before you begin, or follow the steps below.
Before you begin
Sign in to Jotsu and open the dashboard.
1. Start with the Customer app
On the New application page, select Customer app under the description field.
Select Create app. Jotsu prepares the application and opens the Builder when it is ready.
2. Open the development preview
The Builder gives you an interactive Codex session for changing your application.
Select Open preview. The application opens in a new browser tab at a temporary development URL.
Changes made in the Builder appear at this URL while you work.
3. Change the homepage with Codex
Return to the Codex tab and enter:
Change the heading on the homepage to 'Hello World'.
Wait for Codex to finish the change.
4. Check the live update
Return to the preview tab. Confirm that the homepage heading now reads Hello World.
5. Deploy the application
Return to the Builder and select App details. In Deployment, select Deploy.
Keep the deployment dialog open while Jotsu builds and publishes the application to Cloudflare. When deployment finishes, select Open application.
What happened
You created an application from a base template, changed its code with Codex, verified the change at a live development URL, and deployed it to a production URL.
