# SecuBox App Store Implementation
**Date:** 2024-12-30
**Status:** ✅ Complete
## Overview
Enhanced the SecuBox build system to support `secubox-app-*` packages as first-class plugins in the app store, alongside existing `luci-app-*` and `luci-theme-*` packages.
---
## Changes Made
### 1. Package Reorganization
#### Renamed: nodogsplash → secubox-app-nodogsplash
**Location:** `package/secubox/secubox-app-nodogsplash/`
**Changes:**
- ✅ Directory renamed from `nodogsplash` to `secubox-app-nodogsplash`
- ✅ `PKG_NAME` updated to `secubox-app-nodogsplash`
- ✅ `PKG_SOURCE` kept as `nodogsplash-$(PKG_VERSION).tar.gz` (upstream source)
- ✅ `PKG_BUILD_DIR` set to `nodogsplash-$(PKG_VERSION)` (build directory)
### 2. Build System Enhancement
#### Updated: `secubox-tools/local-build.sh`
**Command Line Support:**
```bash
# Line 1639: Added secubox-app-* pattern matching
luci-app-*|luci-theme-*|secubox-app-*)
single_package="$1"
shift
;;
```
**Package Installation (lines 653-660):**
```bash
# Install secubox-app-* packages
for pkg in "$feed_dir"/secubox-app-*/; do
if [[ -d "$pkg" ]]; then
local pkg_name=$(basename "$pkg")
echo " Installing $pkg_name..."
./scripts/feeds install "$pkg_name" 2>& 1 | grep -v "WARNING:" || true
fi
done
```
**Package Configuration (lines 708-715):**
```bash
# Enable all SecuBox app packages from feed (secubox-app-*)
for pkg in feeds/secubox/secubox-app-*/; do
if [[ -d "$pkg" ]]; then
local pkg_name=$(basename "$pkg")
echo "CONFIG_PACKAGE_${pkg_name}=m" >> .config
print_success "$pkg_name enabled"
fi
done
```
**Feed Display (line 622):**
```bash
ls -d "$feed_dir/secubox-app-"*/ 2>/dev/null || true
```
**Help Text:**
- Updated `COMMANDS` section to show `secubox-app-*` support
- Added example: `./secubox-tools/local-build.sh build secubox-app-nodogsplash`

## App Store API (Proposed)
### Metadata Access
```javascript
// luci-app-secubox/htdocs/luci-static/resources/secubox/appstore.js
class AppStore {
// Get all apps
async getApps() {
const response = await fetch('/appstore/apps.json');
return await response.json();
}
// Get apps by category
getAppsByCategory(category) {
const apps = await this.getApps();
return apps.apps.filter(app => app.category === category);
}
// Search apps
searchApps(query) {
const apps = await this.getApps();
return apps.apps.filter(app =>
app.name.toLowerCase().includes(query) ||
app.tags.some(tag => tag.includes(query))
);
}
// Get app status
async getAppStatus(appId) {
// Check if installed via opkg
return await L.resolveDefault(fs.exec('opkg', ['status', appId]));
}
// Install app
async installApp(appId) {
return await L.resolveDefault(fs.exec('opkg', ['install', appId]));
}
}
```
