Create a standalone application with the Build4D component
A new build4D component has been available on GitHub for a few months. It empowers you to effortlessly create a compiled project or a component. Things are getting even better; this new component version will enable you to generate a single-user application, expanding the possibilities for your development workflow.
So with tool4D available since v20, integrating the application generation process into your CI (Continuous Integration) tools has become remarkably convenient.
Let’s delve into the details!
Build your Compiled Structure or Component with Build4D
With the introduction of the project mode, it’s pretty easy to manipulate the components of your projects.
In the last few feature releases, we have added several functionalities that allow you to create your own build chain adapted to your team, your working methods, and your needs.
For example:
- Launch a compilation by programming,
- Zip/unzip files and folders with these commands,
- Easily Manage your Application’s Information,
- Headless 4D applications to integrate it into a build tool.
To help you create your own build chain or integrate 4D into a continuous integration tool, we have developed a component named Build4D, available on GitHub with the sources.
For this first step, Build4D allows you to create a compiled structure and a component. We will continue to enrich it to enable you to manage a single-user application, client application, or server application.
