Hi,
i created a CUBA app-component that you can use. It is in preview mode currently. Before releasing it “officially” i would like to get your feedback on it. It is open source (Apache 2 license) and you can find it on github:
If you have any thoughts on that, like bug, feature requests etc. i would love to hear from you.
I’ll just copy over the README.md so you get an impression on what it does:
CUBA Platform Component - Instant Launcher
This application component let’s you define launcher commands at runtime that can be directly executed via a search box.
Instant launcher uses rich-search under the hood. It adds a specific search result type to the search results of rich-search called Launcher Commands. Those Launcher Commands are configurations or scripts, that can be defined at runtime of the application.

Using the application component
The instant-launcher application component lets you define Launcher Commands at runtime that can be executed via a search box.
The following types of instant launchers are supported:
- Screen Launchers
- Script Launchers
- Bean Launchers
A Launcher Command can execute any kind of business logic via a groovy script. For certain specific use cases, there are pre-defined Launchers like the Screen Launcher. Here are some example use cases:
- opening the screen to create a new user
- shortcut for running a specific report and starts the download of the file
Example usage
To see this application component in action, check out this example: cuba-example-using-instant-launcher.
