Example Usages

This will start the app "myapp" in a modal dialog.

   brixxApi.startBrixxbox({appName: "myapp"}); //starts myapp as a form
   
   brixxApi.startBrixxbox({appName: "myapp", appMode:"list"}); //starts myapp as a list

This will start the app "myapp" in a modal dialog, load the record with id 1 and set the values of the 2 controls "addressNo" and "orderNo" inside the new app

   let startOptions = {
      appName: "myapp",
      id: 1,
      startMode: "modal",
      additionalValues: {
         addressNo: 123,
         orderNo: 456
      },
      parameters:["openOrders", "shippedORders"]
    
   };
   brixxApi.startBrixxbox(startOptions);

This will start the app "myapp" in a modal dialog, and add an addEventListener for the save event.

   let modalBrixxApi = await brixxApi.startBrixxbox({appName: "myapp"});
   modalBrixxApi.addEventListener("onRecordSaved", function (modalApi, eventArgs) {
      alert("Record saved in " + modalApi.appName);
   });
