Use class in embedded web area with $4d
With 4D 20 R9, 4D introduces new commands that allow developers to define an object context for $4d, ensuring only specific functions are exposed. Previously, using $4d meant exposing 4D methods to the web area, but now, you can define and use class functions instead. This improvement allows for better organization, encapsulation, and security when integrating 4D functionalities into web areas.
4D View Pro: Import callback ensures custom functions are fully resolved
Importing documents is a common task when working with 4D View Pro. However, when these documents contain custom functions, it can be challenging to determine when all calculations are completed before performing actions like printing or saving. To solve this, 4D 20 R9 makes sure that the callback formula of import commands is done only after all custom functions have been fully dealt with. This improvement gives more control and reliability when working with imported 4D View Pro documents.
Warnings on Deprecated Language Elements
With the release of 4D 20 R9, deprecated language elements now generate warnings, helping you keep your code as modern and efficient as possible. Let’s dive into the details.
4D NetKit: Use your web server host ports to retrieve your OAuth 2.0 authentication response
When using OAuth 2.0 authentication with 4D NetKit, you must define a redirect URI to indicate where the OAuth 2.0 server should return the authentication result. With 4D 20 R9, you can now use your host web server’s address and ports to retrieve your authentication responses. This enhancement streamlines the authentication process, prevents port conflicts, and improves security.
Edit and Debug Component Methods and Classes in 4D from the host project
When working with your own component, switching between the host and component environments just to debug or enhance your component code can be inconvenient. With 4D 20 R9, you can now edit and debug component shared methods and classes directly within the host project, as long as the components are included with their source code.
Follow 4D version : A Smarter Way to Manage your Dependencies
Great news! When adding a dependency from GitHub, you now have access to a brand-new rule: Follow 4D version. This powerful addition ensures your dependencies stay in sync with your 4D environment effortlessly, reducing compatibility issues and making your workflow smoother than ever.
