  3. HOWTO Build standalone executables in Lianja on Windows

    Lianja provides the ability to build standalone executables on Windows.

    This has been a popular request, so we have added in this functionality.

    These executables can only be built for Apps that have been hand coded in LianjaScript, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript or Babel using the Lianja UI Framework.

    This functionality is primarily for building small GUI Apps not for business Apps running under the Lianja App Center under the control of Permissions and Roles.

  4. HOWTO Subclass attributes and delegates in one or more Apps using MetaTypes

    MetaTypes provide a powerful means of defining custom types and then subclassing them in Pages, Sections and FormItems.

    Each MetaType that you define in the MetaType Editor can contain attribute/value pairs as well as delegates and their procedure or function names.


    A MetaType is essentially a 'class' which can be inherited simply by specifying its name in the 'Meta Types' attribute for user interface elements. (Pages, Sections and FormItems).

  6. HOWTO integrate Lianja and VFP with concurrent data access

    Many developers have requested the ability to be able to build modern Web Apps in Lianja while running legacy VFP applications side by side accessing the same data.

    Although this is possible using Lianja virtual tables with the VFP ODBC driver, OLEDB provides better performance and flexibility.

    In Lianja 6.3 we have provided the ability to use OLEDB providers as an alternative means of transparent data access.

    Let’s look at how we can integrate Lianja and ...

  7. HOWTO use loadable modules in LianjaScript

    LianjaScript Modules are similar to libraries in that they can be dynamically loaded and contain procedures that may be used in your Apps.

    Modules however encapsulate all procedures, functions and public variables and make these only visible from an object. This prevents name clashes and is a simple way to wrap code libraries into objects without any special coding syntax.

    Modules provide simple (Object-Oriented Programming ) OOP concepts:

    • Objects
    • Abstraction
    • Encapsulation
    • Inheritance
    • Polymorphism

  9. Lianja Key/Value Store (KVS)

    Lianja 6.3 introduced a new Key/Value Store (KVS) to support data streaming and IoT applications.

    A key-value database is a type of nonrelational database that uses a simple key-value method to store data. A key-value database stores data as a collection of key-value pairs in which a key serves as a unique identifier. Both keys and values can be anything, ranging from simple objects to complex compound objects.

    KVS is implemented as a collection of functions built into ...
