1. What is a Mini Program?
A mini program is an application that can be used without downloading and installing. It realizes the dream of an application "at your fingertips".
Users can open the application by scanning or searching. It also embodies the concept of "use and go", users do not need to care about
whether to install too many applications. Apps will be ubiquitous and available at any time, but there is no need to install or uninstall.
At present, each platform is developing its own mini-program. When a platform starts a new mini-program project, it usually reaches cooperation with some companies.
At present, the company’s small programs include: WeChat Mini Program (200 natural traffic per day), Toutiao Mini Program (small volume, update stopped), Baidu Mini Program (small volume, update stopped)
The following introduction takes the WeChat applet as an example
2. Features of Mini Program Development
WeChat provides a set of basic component libraries for WeChat applets, which can meet the basic development needs of development, so as to achieve simple and rapid development; provides a relatively complete API, which can develop richer functions and programs; also introduces new file formats
3. Advantages of Mini Programs:
1. No installation is required, saving installation time and traffic;
2. Reduce development costs and be cross-platform;
3. Easier and simpler promotion;
4. The UI and operation process will be more unified, reducing user costs.
4. Small program structure
The applet is divided into two main parts: view module and service module.
View module:
responsible for UI display, which consists of converted codes from wxml and wxss and auxiliary modules provided by WeChat.
A view module corresponds to a webview component, and
the applet supports multiple views, and the view module
communicates with the background through the WeChat jsbridge object
