How to create a local webapp userscript
What you could do is create your userscript and symlink it to /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-$NAME/$NAME.user.js
:
($MYSCRIPTPATH
is the full path to your script, probably somewhere in your home directory;$NAME
is the name of your script)
sudo mkdir /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-$NAME
sudo ln -s $MYSCRIPTPATH /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-$NAME/$NAME.user.js
You'll also need to manually create a manifest file on /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-$NAME/manifest.json
- you can just copy one from the other apps in the userscripts
dir and modify the values according to your webapp.
I found an easy and secure way to create custom web apps: using Firefox and the Greasemonkey extension. In Greasemonkey, it's enough to create a user script like this (I've created for Asana):
// ==UserScript==
// @name Asana
// @namespace app.asana.com
// @include https://app.asana.com/*
// @grant none
// @version 1
// ==/UserScript==
window.Unity = external.getUnityObject(1);
Unity.init({ name: 'Asana',
domain: 'app.asana.com',
homepage: 'https://app.asana.com/',
iconUrl: 'http://asana.com/assets/FluidIcon.png'
});
This script simply enable the Unity integration, but you can add other features writing more code.
