Build a Nextcloud app on the Conduction stack — Part 5: Advanced manifest features
This is Part 5 of the nine-part app-building tutorial series. Parts 1–4 got you a working app: scaffold, schemas + manifest, schema-driven Calendar integration, and a custom Care tab. Part 5 is the "now what": the v2.7.0 manifest features Parts 1–4 deliberately skipped so the learning curve stayed gentle. You don't need any of them to ship PetStore, but the moment your app needs a public form, a wiki, an admin-only listing, or a markdown editor inside a form, they save you from another round of hand-rolled Vue.
This part deepens the manifest surface. Part 6: Integrate widens the app to other systems (cross-register reads, OpenConnector sources, webhooks). Both build directly on Part 4. Take them in either order, or pick whichever your next app needs first.
Three principles run through every feature in this part: schema-driven (no per-page Vue), type-safe (the manifest schema validates every shape before runtime), and fleet-portable (the same JSON works in every Conduction app and gets lib upgrades for free).
