QODLY STUDIO FOR 4D: WHAT’S NEW IN 4D 20 R6
With each release, Qodly Studio for 4D becomes a more powerful platform, a robust and user-friendly solution for building business web applications with minimal coding effort.
Integrated within 4D, Qodly Studio for 4D allows you to leverage existing business logic developed for desktop applications.
Qodly Studio for 4D 20 R6 introduces a host of intuitive features, making it easier than ever to bring your vision to life.
Let’s dive into the details!
REST and Qodly Support of Singletons
With 4D 20 R5, we released singletons. And with 4D 20 R6, we now allow you to directly call the exposed functions of your shared singletons through REST calls. Similarly, you can use the exposed functions of your shared singletons in events when designing your Qodly Pages. Let me delve deeper into these new capabilities.
Custom Components: Grid Layout
In our previous posts, we explored the power of custom components in Qodly Studio for 4D projects and demonstrated how to enhance your app with a PDF viewer.
Now, let’s dive into another interesting component: the Grid Layout.
Custom Components: PDF Viewer
In a previous blog post, we showed you how to add custom components to your Qodly Studio for 4D projects.
Now, let’s put that knowledge to work by integrating a PDF viewer into your application.
How to Add Custom Components to your App
Qodly Studio for 4D is a powerful tool for creating full-featured, complex business applications. While its pre-built components are versatile, custom solutions are sometimes essential.
Custom components allow you to build a custom solution for your own project – and to benefit from many components built by 4D or the community to enrich your user interface.
This blog post, complemented by a video tutorial, will walk you through the process of integrating custom components into your Qodly Studio for the 4D project.
QODLY STUDIO FOR 4D: WHAT’S NEW IN 4D 20 R5
In our previous posts, we introduced you to Qodly Studio for 4D and hope you have begun exploring its features. With each release, Qodly Studio for 4D becomes an increasingly robust and user-friendly solution for building business web applications with minimal coding effort.
Integrated deeply with 4D, Qodly Studio for 4D allows you to leverage existing business logic developed for desktop applications.
Let’s dive into the exciting new features of Qodly Studio for 4D 20 R5 and how you can integrate them into your applications.
Easy Reference Comparison of Objects & Collections
Objects have become an essential part of the 4D language and of Qodly.
But when you declare a variable of this type, you define a reference. So, how do you know if two objects are, in fact, just one and share the same reference?
Starting with 4D 20 R6, comparing object references is simple: enter the = and # operators!
This blog post explores these operators and how they help determine if objects share the same reference. Let’s find out more!
Force Login Becomes Default for all REST Auth
We recently provided a new way of controlling access to the REST API via the privileges and the ds.authentify function: Force Login. This feature offers much more than previously available authentication mechanisms and was clearly explained in this blog post.
With 4D 20 R6, Force Login has become the default mode for REST authentications. Curious about the reasons behind this change and how to manage the transition? Keep reading to find out more.
Enhanced Session Storage Access
You can store information in the storage of various session types, such as Client/Server, Web, or Mobile, allowing for easy reuse across different processes.
Now, in 4D 20 R6, you can access the storage of a specific session. This enhancement enables users to easily maintain the continuity and consistency of information across multiple sessions of the same user. Imagine being able to pull up the same customer record across different applications such as Client/Server or Web.
