The Lianja App Builder is all about the Rapid Application Development of data-centric business Apps. It has a high performance SQL database engine embedded in it.
It organizes its UI into “workspaces”. The modebar down the left hand side contains a strip of vertical buttons which when clicked causes the UI to switch to that particular workspace. No matter what workspace is selected the modebar is visible allowing you to switch between workspaces with one click.
When developing an App you are working on live data.
At any time during development you can view your App as a Desktop, Web, Tablet or Phone App by clicking one of the "View" icons on the top right of the HeaderBar at the top of the window.
If you are in the Apps workspace and are editing code, switching to another workspace will automatically save your edits and dynamically compile the code then refresh the UI in the Pages workspace for you.
Workspaces
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Home | The Home workspace is where you find your published Apps and links to development operations. |
| Team | The Team workspace is where you download shared Apps from your GitHub team repository. Coming soon. |
| Projects | The Projects workspace is where you create a new Project or open an existing one. You use projects to group together your Apps, Database and Library files. |
| Apps | The Apps workspace is where you create a new App or open an existing one. All scripts that you write that are associated with the App can be edited here in the Script editor. |
| Data | The Data workspace is where you perform database administration operations on your data, browse and modify it and view it in a variety of different data views: Grid, Form and Split View. |
| Pages | The Pages workspace, or Page Builder, is the focal point for building Lianja Apps for Desktop, Web and Mobile devices. |
| Reports | The Reports workspace is where you create reports in the Report Builder. From v5.0. |
| Library | The Library workspace is where you create and/or edit scripts that can be shared across multiple Apps. |
| Versions | The Versions workspace keeps track of all of your modifications to your Apps and scripts and can be used to restore previous versions. |
| Users | The Users workspace is where you control access to your Apps and their visual elements (Pages, Sections, Fields). |
| Build | The Build workspace is where you can edit the custom manifest file for Progressive Web Apps, configure and build Electron App executables and build React Native Apps in the cloud (coming soon). |
| Deploy | The Deploy workspace is where you deploy your App and optionally its database to a runtime directory on your LAN or into the cloud to a remote server. |
| Cloud | Coming Soon. |
| Forums | The Forums workspace contains an embedded browser with the Lianja Developer Community forums. From v5.0. |
| Doc | The Doc workspace contains an embedded browser with the Lianja online documentation. From v5.0. |
| Console | The Console workspace is used by advanced users to perform database administration tasks. |
Selectors
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ProCode / NoCode Mode | Switch mode between Procode and NoCode. See below for further details. |
| Local / ... deployment target | Switch deployment target. The selector list includes Local and any deployment configurations from the Deploy workspace. See also Cross Platform App Deployment. |
| Debug / Release Mode | Switch build mode between Debug and Release. The type of build for Web/Mobile Apps. Use Debug when testing and Release when deploying. This is a quick toggle for the Build mode App Setting. |
ProCode / NoCode
When NoCode mode is selected, certain tools and workspaces are hidden to provide a streamlined, simpler interface for building NoCode Apps:
Hidden elements include:
- The App Builder MenuBar
- The Projects and Build workspaces
- The Troubleshooter
- The Visual UI Component Manager
- The MetaType Editor, UI States Editor, Help Editor and Save in the Page Library Headerbar toolbuttons
Tools, Settings and Shortcuts
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Debug | The Debugger Tab contains the Lianja/VFP Debugger. |
| Components | Opens the Visual UI Component Manager. |
