loading component with Platform

[Viktor Iwan]

hello, i already download platform and create my first "hello world". At the moment i want to load my component in joomla platform so i can build some api for mobile apps. Is there any example for this?

Thanks

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I have explored with the platform, you can't just take a component, from say Joomla, and make it run on the platform. 

That said, if you haven't yet, check out:

https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform-examples/tree/master/web

There's some examples here of how you can instantiate the www web class to get the platform running. I found the Picasa example really well done because it shows how different things, like themes, are incorporated and used, and it even has a bit of a mobile focus.

In theory if you provide enough of the compatibility you could load
the models and controllers. You'd need to define stuff like
JPATH_COMPONENT and what not but presuming you set all of that you
should be able to re-use the code.
