DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.27)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.27 (10/23/2022)

* Make various changes, fixes and enhancements in the app JavaScript template. We are now creating an instance of the app instead of directly working with the app root component. This allows us to recuperate the missing "OnAppRenderError" event handler (loses when we recently introduce Vue 3.x), as well to get the ability to configure the app instance, and, maybe in the future allow the user to configure it also or adding some filters for the HTML templates. Why not allow the user to add filters right now? Well! In fact we can already use any of the existing app methods as filters and the app user functions (which you can define) can also be used as filters in the HTML templates: in fact this is the way that Vue recommends to introduce filters in the HTML templates. But anyway having an app instance ready to use allows us to maybe introduce some good things in the future.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.26)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.26 (10/22/2022)

* Update VueJS to the latest version (3.2.41). Use a more convenient releases of the latest versions of the VueJS router and the Pinia libraries. Update the Luxon library to the latest version (3.0.4). Update the Font Awesome library to the latest version (6.2.0).

* Since we surrounding now our apps views templates between the ` quotes, if we want to use this quotes inside an HTML control, for example, then the right HTML entity (`) must be used instead. This release of AB replace the referred quotes by the right HTML entities automatically, so we can use the quotes "as is" inside HTML controls, for example.

* Fix a bug in the Frame control events handlers: the app frames do not have events itself, however, when we use a Frame control to insert an app frame inside an app view or app dialog, we can handle common events (Click, DblClick, etc.). Before this release we can't do it due to a bad definition of the place in which the Frame control is placed.

* Peform some minor changes, fixes and enhancements in the app JavaScript template and the app HTML template, moving certain elements into the build.js file and reviewing mainly the JavaScript template from the scratch and make some code refactoring.

DecSoft (In thread: Resize & order tables)

Hello John,

You're welcome! In fact, who deserves the thanks is the author of the referred articles, which do a very good work.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.25)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.25 (10/21/2022)

* This is a very special release of DecSoft App Builder and we are really proud to present it to you. What's new? Well. Starting from this release your app will use the latest release of the VueJS framework version 3.x, in addition to the latest release of the Pinia library (which replaces the venerable VuEx), in fact, what the hell? We are already using the latest versions of the Bootstrap CSS framework, the jQuery library, the Hammer library, the Luxon library, the base64 library and the FontAwesome library! All  the best for you! (this is a new entry in the blog of DecSoft).

* In the previous release of DecSoft App Builder we are already using the latest version of VueJS 2.x branch, but in this release we move on and start to use the branch 3 of VueJS. This implied a better apps performance, a better supported framework (even when the branch 2.x of VueJS is still well supported), and, we are really happy with this release, because, after a hard work, we made it completely compatible with your current apps (see below the little breaking changes), that is, you can continue using DecSoft App Builder to compile your apps and now your apps become powered by VueJS 3.x.

* Breaking changes: There are only a few breaking changes. First of all, for this release we recommend to uninstall your previous version of DecSoft App Builder (not update it), and remove the files that you can find in your User Documents folder, at least the "Template" and the "Plugins" folders which you will find inside your User Documents / DecSoft / AppBuilder. In addition to this, the only breaking changes has been the renaming of the AudioPlayer and VideoPlayer controls's properties: "duration", "pause" and "error", which are now "videoDuration", "isPaused" and "lastError". In the case of the AudioPlayer control the new "duration" is "audioDuration". In addition to this, also the methods "pause" and "play" of these controls are now "pauseAudio", "playAudio", "pauseVide" and "playVideo".

* There are no more changes! That is... internally... well... a lot of changes have been made, and, you will notice that your apps now run faster (yes even faster than before), but also internally better structured. We change everything in the app template and the app plugins (which are included out of the box), for example, we start to use more appropriately Ecmascript 6 Javascript code, but, again, except what has been referred above, you will no notice anything, you apps will continue compiling without any change! Of course, if you experience any problem, don't hesitate to contact us or post in our DecSoft support forum: we are happy to help you.

* Another advantage by these latest changes in DecSoft App Builder is that your apps can work now without require an HTTP server, that is, you can simply open the app's index.html file directly in a modern browser and will works as expected. This is because the app views and app dialogs HTML markup are stored now in the same app JavaScript core file, instead of in separated HTML files: this not only make the app faster (since no need to load external HTML files) but also allows you to run the app without the need of an HTTP server.

DecSoft (In thread: Resize & order tables)

Hello John,

Nothing is impossible, however, almost everything requires some work. What you wanted probably can be achieved by using some possible third party JavaScript library, and, of course can be made in the same way than that JavaScript library does, I mean, finally we are talking about what HTML and JavaScript allows us to do. Thanks to DecSoft App Builder we can use all the power of HTML and JavaScript in our apps.

I found a couple of amazing articles: this one for resizing table columns and this one for reorder table columns, so I adapted it to get the Table sample app enhanced with these features. The main code is which is placed in the app view Show event, and, there is also some CSS code placed in the app Style option.

You can download the modified Table sample app from here. Maybe this modified sample have some caveats: finally I only dedicate around an hour and a half in order to adapt the referred article: the main work is taken from the articles, and, maybe can be enhanced, modified, etc. As I told you, HTML and JavaScript offers to us the way to get it working, probably using various approaches, so, maybe you want to modify the sample, looking for some possible samples or third party libraries, etc.

DecSoft (In thread: React and App Builder)

Hello John,

The short answer is no, John. Consider that React is not a "normal" third party Javascript library, but, an entire Javascript framework in which we can base our "single page" HTML apps. Well, DecSoft App Builder uses another framework, and, the entire product (the IDE, the native controls, our apps template, etc.) are based in this other framework and therefore cannot be replaced by React "as easy" as we can use any other kind of third party Javascript libraries, which you know it's perfectly possible.

P.S. Of course, we can use an IFrame control in our apps in order to run a React app or any other kind of HTML app. And may we can communicate from one app to another using the "iframe" HTML messages (take a look at the "IFrame2" sample app), but, this is not a "yes" answer for your question, John, I just comment this because if we need something like that, it's possible to do it, but, the answer for your question is in the first paragraph of this post.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.24)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.24 (10/14/2022)

These themes matches now the version of Bootstrap CSS that we are already using in the app default theme and other stuff like the welcome, about, product help and plugins help pages.

* Add thew darkly, flatly, journal, materia, morph, pulse, quartz and simplex themes from the Bootwatch (bootswatch.com) package. Modify the Themes sample app in order to incorporate these new themes and add also some other controls to the sample app view.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.23)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.23 (10/08/2022)

* The app.showDialog() method has been enhanced to (optional) receive two more arguments for a couple of callback functions to be executed when the dialog is shown and hidden, respectively. This callback functions are optional and completely independent from the Show and Hide events of the app dialog. For more information you can take a look at the product help, in particular to the app.showDialog() help reference.

* Internally use the {once: true} argument for the event listener who we use when an app alert (shown by the app.showAlert() method) event "hidePrevented" has been fired. This prevent that internally the referred event will be executed more times that what is expected: apparently this is not a big problem, but, with the {once: true} argument can be perfectly avoided and that is what we do for this release of the product.

DecSoft (In thread: New HTML Compiler 2022.19)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft HTML Compiler with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.19 (09/18/2022)

* Add the WinSize sample app, which show us how to use the recently added dhc.window.getSize() and dhc.window.setSize(), in order to save the position and size of the app window when it's closed, and, set the saved position and size when the app is started again, in this case saving the information in a JSON file.

* Add the new dhc.window.setSize() Javascript external function. With this function we can establish the position (top and left) and the size (width and height) of our app window in runtime. We can configure the app position and size at designtime already, and, with this function, we can set it now also at runtime.

* Add the new dhc.window.getSize() Javascript external function. We can use this function to retrieve the current app window position (top and left) and size (width and height) at runtime. We can use this information, for example, to use it when the app is closed, and, therefore, load it when the app is started.

DecSoft (In thread: Security policy meta tag in AB1)

Hello Amin,

Thanks a lot. Fixed the issue. Fantastic help and support as always.

Always thank you for your trust, sir!

DecSoft (In thread: Security policy meta tag in AB1)

Hello Amin,

If you remember, the app Start event of AB1 was added in the past for some capability that you wanted: change the "window.App.Config.DefaultView" variable, or may other "config" variables. Certainly, in this event we can't use any AB1 actions, only Javascript, and, cannot get access to the app variables.

If you do not want to use the "DeviceReady" event, instead of the Start event, maybe you can consider to use the view Show event. You can take the view Show event as a kind of Start event, since it's fired even before the DeviceReady is fired, and in the view Show event you can use AB1 actions, variables, etc.

On the other hand, if you can use "window" variables, then you can certainly use the app Start event, for example, the below code defines a "window" variable in the app Start event:


window.MyVariable = 'My variable value';

That kind of variables are possible to be set in the app Start event, and, certainly they are available in other app places, for example, the below code can be in the view Show event:


StartJS
  // Show "My variable value"
  alert(window.myVariable);
EndJS

Talking about the other issue, that is, adding the "capacitor" value into the "imgSrcSanitizationWhitelist", I update AB1 right now in order to add the "capacitor" value into "imgSrcSanitizationWhitelist", so you can upgrade your AB1 copy in order to get it working "as is". I hope this information can help you in some manner, Amin, just post here if you have any further questions.

DecSoft (In thread: Security policy meta tag in AB1)

Hello Amin,

Maybe you can get more information about the issue. My point is that I am not sure if the content policy (which apply to the app which run inside the IFrame, and not apply in the "parent") has something to say here, just because what I say: the content policy is for the app itself, not for the "parent".

On the other hand, if I search by "unsafe posfix" I can't get relevant results: maybe I am not searching well, but, it's rare to see no results when we search for an error: commonly we get relevant information which can be used to discover a possible solution for the error in question.

So here are some questions... is the AB1 app loading in the IFrame? If yes, then... I do not understand the problem... since probably this is what we wanted... if not... then we must get some kind of error... probably related with the server which serve the AB1 app and not the app itself.

Are you tried to run the AB1 app inside an IFrame to see what happen? Doing this we can see if the problem is in the server of the app: some servers can refuse to load the content inside an IFrame, even when I am not sure if this is the case, we can look into this to see if that is the problem or not.

Maybe the "unsafe posfix" error is related in some manner with Capacitor and my leak of knowledge about Capacitor don't allow me to say something useful: maybe this can be a clue, I mean, maybe we must search about that error talking specifically about Capacitor, to see if it's a Capacitor problem / error.

So try it with all of these, Amin, and, try to get some more information, or to reproduce the problem, in order to see what can be the possible solution. But again... I am not sure about the security policy, which in principle affect to the app itself, not to the "parent" app...

I hope you can finally solve the issue! And please, don't hesitate to post here any further questions!
