Hello to all,

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


2020.58 (01/21/2020)

* Now, when the internal debugger browser window is resized, what happen is that the app panel changes his dimensions, and not the developer console panel. This described behaviour is what we can expected, and not the contrary.

* Avoid the usage of the cache in the internal debugger browser. The cache can cause unexpected results, since if we change certain used image, we want to show it, and not a possible previous one cached by the browser.

Hello to all,

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


2020.57 (01/20/2020)

* Fix a bug related with the app functions cache which can cause some unexpected results: you can experience one of them when modify an app function but can't see that latest changes working when run the app. This release fix this cache related bug.

* If we don't place any code in the app VueJS Error or the app JavaScript error events, DecSoft App Builder places an "alert" which show the possible errors. Now that "alert" has been replaced with a "window.console.error", useful but not annoying.

Hello to all,

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


2020.55 (01/18/2020)

* Avoid to open the internal debugger browser window if we launch the app from one of the external browsers toolbar icons. Before the previous release the internal debugger browser was placed docked or inside the IDE, but now the internal debugger browser window is an external program (for very good reasons) and we can and even must avoid to open it if what we wanted is to launch the app in an external browser.

Hello to all,

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


2020.54 (01/17/2020)

* The internal debugger browser has been enhanced and it's now based in Chromium (derived from Google Chrome) instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer 11. This allows to use ECMAScript 6 and even ECMAScript 7 JavaScript code in our apps without "syntax errors". Additionally, the internal debugger browser shows now a developer console, similar than in Google Chrome and others browsers. Enjoy it!

** Note that the support for ECMAScript 7 is very limited today (Only Google Chrome and Opera browsers) and that ECMAScript 6 is not supported by Internet Explorer 11. Our recomendation is to use ECMAScript 6 if needed, because is supported in all modern browsers, except Microsoft Internet Explorer 11. If you need to support IE11, your code must remain to be ECMAScript 5, which is supported by all modern browsers too.

DecSoft (In thread: Compiling Windows EXE)

Hello to all,

Certainly the Cordova Electron platform offer a lot of possibilities... take a look at how to open a file dialog to allow the user to select a file and then read that file and show the contents in an alert message:

// Apps compiled with Cordova Electron has the "nodeRequire" symbol available

if (typeof nodeRequire !== 'undefined') {

  const fs = nodeRequire('fs');

  const { dialog } = nodeRequire('electron').remote;

  dialog.showOpenDialog({

    properties: ['openFile']

  }, function (files) {

    if (!files) {
      return;
    }

    fs.readFile(files[0], function (error, data) {
      if (error) {
        alert(error);
        return;
      }
      alert(data);
    });
  });

};

See the above working like a charm in a Windows executable is very exciting, in my opinion. :-)

Hello to all,

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


2020.53 (01/13/2020)

* The "nodeIntegration" option for the Cordova Electron platform is now set to "true" by default. This means we can use Node JS modules in our Cordova Electron build apps. Note, however, that the "require" JavaScript symbol is not available: instead you must use "nodeRequire" symbol. This is the way in which we can integrate the Node JS modules, since the "require" symbol can be established by other libraries like jQuery.

DecSoft (In thread: Compiling Windows EXE)

Hello to all,

Well. I am wrong all this time! Finally I know what happen with the above referred errors when build our apps using the Cordova Electron platform. Finally I can get some help and understand what is happen: there must be a "package.json" file available to be used, and, DecSoft App Builder never creates that file, because it's no needed for other platforms than Cordova Electron.

This new release of DecSoft App Builder prepares the right "package.json" file, and, also perform some enhancements over the created Batch and Shell files for Cordova Electron: basically we can use now the "run" batch file, for example, and get a preview of our app, before build it like we can do using the "debug" or the "release" batch files.

I hope this information can be of your interest!

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.52)

Hello to all,

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


2020.52 (01/12/2020)

* Creates a "package.json" file for Apache Cordova. This file is never required before for platforms like Android nor iOS, however, it's required by the Cordova Electron platform, and, since the file is missing, we get problems when build our apps using the Cordova Electron platform. This release fixed that problem by creating a "package.json" file ready to be used.

* Add the "--nobuild" flag in the "run" Batch and Shell files for the Cordova Electron platform. Electron has the ability to preview the app without build it first, and, so, the referred flag is the best to be used in the "run" Batch and Shell files. Remove also the usage of the Android Debugger Bridge in the Cordova Electron Batch files: have no sense there.

Hello to all,

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


2020.51 (01/11/2020)

* Add the window.setTimeout(), window.setInterval() and window.clearInterval() methods into the Quick Code list as well in the help documentation. This methods are useful to prepare some code to be executed after certain amount of time, or in certain interval of time. We add also into the documentation the reference for the window.alert(), window.console.info(), window.console.debug() and window.console.error() methods.

* Add the new ImageFit property to the Video Player control. This property act exactly in the same way than the ImageFit of the Image control, for example, and, allow to control the video apparence, no matter the level of app scale.

DecSoft (In thread: AppBuilder cordovarduino plugin)

Hello Matteo,

I did not have experience, but, some Apache Cordova plugin like this one, may can help. Take a look if possible: finally we are talking about JavaScript, that is, we must use the Cordova plugin provided JavaScript API, so, even if we have no experience, we can try and go ahead, using the right JavaScript code.

Hello to all,

* Add the new AppQuery sample app (number 59), which show how to use the recently added "app.query" property, in order to pass variables to the app views.

* Add the new "app.query" property, which stores the possible URL arguments passed to the app views or just a "false" value if no URL has been passed.

* Enhance the Table sample app with a designer comment wich describes a bit for what the Table control is intended to use, and what to look in the Table sample app.

DecSoft (In thread: Report control in the new AB)

Hello Danny,

Glad to know that you got it! :-)

DecSoft (In thread: Report control in the new AB)

Hello Danny,

Yes; certainly there is not an exactly replacement, but, the most similar control to the Report is the Table control: works very similar to the Report control in the "old" AB, except that the JSON which feed his "data" property is not taken from any URL, but, it's the duty of the user to provide it.

Please, Danny, take a look at the Table sample app. Then, look also at the HTML sample app. And finally look also to the JSONSource sample app. This last one uses an HTTP Client control in order to load some JSON from a file: well, that's exactly what you can do with the Table control: use an HTTP Client control to load the proper Array of objects.

Please, look at the referred samples, and, don't hesitate to post here any further question.
