DecSoft Support - New App Builder 2023.39

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

2023.39 (07/31/2023)

* Mark the app.setVar() method as deprecated, that is, remove it from the Editor Quick Code List and the documentation, in favor of the new app.setReactiveVar() method. The app.setVar() continue to be available to use, but, it's recommended to move on to the new referred method to set app global reactive variables.

* Add the new app.setReactiveVar() method, which is the indicated to set app global reactive variables. This method replace the app.setVar() method, which continue to be available for compatibility purposes. Advanced users can also directly use the "app.store" property to set app global reactive variables like: app.store.MyVar = MyValue. Please take a look at the product help in order to understand the difference between app global reactive and app global non reactive variables.

* Add the new app.getReactiveVar() method, which can be used to retrieve the value of previously established app global reactive variables. Advanced users can perfectly use the app.store property to retrieve these variables like: app.store.MyVar, however, note that this method offer the ability to establish a default value to be returned if the variable did not exists. Please take a look at the product help in order to understand the difference between app global reactive and app global non reactive variables.

* Add the new method app.unsetReactiveVar(), which can be used to delete an existing app global reactive variable, so we can save precious resources for the app. Please take a look at the product help in order to understand the difference between app global reactive and app global non reactive variables.

* Add the new method app.setNonReactiveVar(), which is the indicated to set app global non reactive variables. We may need a global variable for the app, but, not required to be shown in the app interface, so we can use this method to create this kind of global variables, instead of reactive global variables, which consume a bit more resources. Advanced users can also directly use the "window.store" property to set app global non reactive variables like: window.store.MyVar = MyValue. Please take a look at the product help in order to understand the difference between app global reactive and app global non reactive variables.

* Add the new app.getNonReactiveVar() method, which can be used to retrieve the value of previously established app global non reactive variables. Advanced users can perfectly use the window.store property to retrieve these variables like: window.store.MyVar, however, note that this method offer the ability to establish a default value to be returned if the variable did not exists. Please take a look at the product help in order to understand the difference between app global reactive and app global non reactive variables.

* Add the new method app.unsetNonReactiveVar(), which can be used to delete an existing app global non reactive variable, so we can save precious resources for the app. Please take a look at the product help in order to understand the difference between app global reactive and app global non reactive variables.

* Add the previous referred new methods into the editor Quick Code List, and, update the product help in order to incorporate these new methods and some usage samples. Modify various existing samples apps in order to use the new methods instead the app.setVar() one or create by ourself a window.store variable, which is not created by the app to be available for us to store the app global non reactive variables.
