# SAFE App

This is the crate for interfacing with application frontends. It contains code for applications to manipulate SAFE data-types on behalf of the owner and code for building the URI for communicating with [safe_authenticator](../safe_authenticator).
## Build Instructions
`safe_app` can interface conditionally against either the routing crate or a mock (routing and vault) used for local testing.
To use it with the Mock:
```
cargo build --features "use-mock-routing"
cargo test --features "use-mock-routing testing"
```
To interface it with actual routing (default):
```
cargo build
cargo test
```
