The features I want to draw your attention to in this version are:
-
Web Api
Access and manage users of generated applications via a REST web api. To see more on this, generate an application and visit the API menu of the Admin section in the browser. -
More powerful Image control
The image control can now display images straight from a database or get an url to an image using datasources, settings, page parameters or expressions. Best of all, the control can be accessed from inside of a script allowing you to dynamically change which image is displayed without the need to renavigate to the page. -
'Google-like' file upload
Upload multiple files at once by selecting them from a file selector or by dragging them straight into the box. They will immediately start uploading without the need to press the upload button. -
New action: Call script
Call other scripts from within a script. You now have the ability to break big unwieldy scripts into smaller more concise scripts and invoke them when needed. Creating smaller scripts leads to more readable and understandable applications as they grow bigger. -
Improvements to the Tables & Views pane of a Query
Quickly generate CRUD queries by making use of our generator. Do this by right clicking on a table or view and choosing between a Select, Insert, Update or Delete statement. Changes have also been made to enhance both usability and the performance of this pane. -
Lists can now be set using JSON
The items for any list control, i.e. CheckBoxList, RadioButtonList or Dropdown, can now be set by assigning a JSON object to the Options property. This simplifies reuse of lists across controls. -
More wide-spread use of expressions on actions
Expressions proved to be so useful on the SetValue action, that we decided to make them available to all actions.
