Open Lines Friday | The Low-Code Campfire #260

In this episode of Low-Code Campfire, hosted by Dale Warner, the conversation kicks off with a detailed exploration into mobile app development using Plant an App, highlighting the use of APIs, workflows, and the debate between developing a web versus a native mobile app, alongside licensing nuances. As the discussion pivots, participants inquire about user guide examples embedded within the Plant an App ecosystem, with attention to setup, triggering mechanisms, and maintenance of these guides. The episode further delves into technical insights with a demonstration on the manipulation of form elements using JavaScript, addressing challenges and proposing workarounds. Another segment introduces the 'Clean Web Config Comments' workflow, designed to streamline web config files safely. To round out, the session examines JavaScript execution timing issues during form load, exploring solutions such as hidden buttons to enhance process reliability. 2:19 - Developing a Mobile App with Plant an App 3:37 /// Discussion on Using APIs and Workflows 8:59 /// Consideration of Developing a Web App 13:38 /// Discussion on Using a Child Portal 15:56 /// Licensing Considerations and Alternatives to Child Portal 18:30 - Looking for User Guide Examples 20:10 /// Triggering User Guides 23:17 /// Potential Issues with User Guides 27:16 - Manipulating Form Elements with JavaScript 31:58 /// Demonstration of Setting Radio Box Value 33:10 /// Limitations of Setting Checkbox with JavaScript 34:39 /// Workarounds for Checkbox Limitations 36:07 - Clean Web Config Comments Workflow 37:28 /// Functionality of the Workflow 38:40 /// Assurance of Workflow Safety 39:36 - Form Load Timing Issue 40:39 /// Solution to the Issue 40:39 - Discussion on Timing and JavaScript Execution in Plant an App 41:17 /// Discussion on the use of a hidden button for JavaScript execution 44:25 /// Exploration of different sections for placing the JavaScript 53:07 /// Discussion on the future of initialization scripts in forms 2.0 --- Join the low-code community in our weekly gathering.
