Upcoming Updates: Drag n Drop ExpansionPanels (Accordions)

Mashiane · May 5, 2020

Version 3.83 out with the new updates.

The BVMDesigner has now been separated from the Demo app. It's own folder is 3. Designer on the repo.

Enjoy!

thanx for the updates... as we noticed that pages when displayed take sometime to load, therefore splash screen addition will be highly useful... tia

Upcoming Updates: Drag n Drop a Page (Create different pages for your website / webapp)

This demo shows how one can drag and drop a page to the stage. This is useful if your app will have 1 or more pages and each page can be created separately. You can add multiple pages for your site / webapp in this fashion and update their configuration and then add components etc etc that you need. Here we use a fake drawer and fade navbar to show how the drawer items and navbar items will be drawn for the page links depending on what you specify on the settings.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

BANanoVuetifyCore Library

The BANanoVuetifyCore library is the core BANanoVuetify library without any of the other functionalities but pure stuff. ONLY Vuetify classes are part of the library and nothing else. This means no additional extensions have been added on this version but just pure vuetify related stuff. The library name that will appear on your B4J libraries listing is BANanoVuetifyCore (4+)

This is on the 0. Core folder in this repo. There is source code for the library and a demo project that does not have anything outside of Vuetify.

Check it out here.

What does this mean?

The core does not have the following built in like the previous library. These will come as additional classes that you can add separately.

Charts do not exist ie. eCharts and ChartKick
Quill editor is not included
Prism is not included
InfoBox is not included
Faker is not included (own developed class)
CircleCounter is not included
ArcCounter is not included
OXML i.e. excel reporting is not included.
Designer is not included.

The main version however currently contains these extensions.

Currently the core is using built in resources. We will explore CDN links later on.

Enjoy.

PS: The BVMDesigner can also be run online from here.

Upcoming Changes: Setting Project Properties in a drawer (placed on the right side)

This enables one to specify the project name, database name, database types to use in the project.
Currently the Designer supports BANanoSQL only.

One clicks on a button in the navbar to activate the drawer and when cancel is closed the drawer is closed.

Upcoming Updates: We have updated the Demo project "modFiles" to demonstrate the invisible File Selector for reading Text Files

Reading Text Files

The contents of the file for this example as displayed in console log.

We create a button and add it to a container.
When clicked, we show the file selector
On file change in the selector, we read the file contents with a promise.
When the file contents are got, we display in console log. Off course, you can do whatever you need with text file contents

B4X:

Sub Code
    vm = pgIndex.vm
    'create a container to hold all contents
    Dim cont As VMContainer = vm.CreateContainer(name, Me)
    'hide this container
    cont.Hide
    '
    Dim btnTextFile As VMButton = vm.CreateButton("btnTextFile", Me).SetLabel("Read Text File Without Upload")
    cont.AddControlS(btnTextFile.Button, btnTextFile.ToString, 1, 1, 6, 6, 6, 6)
   
    'add container to page
    vm.AddContainer(cont)
    ' add an invisible file selector
    vm.AddFileSelect(Me, "fucomponent")
   
End Sub


Sub btnTextFile_click(e As BANanoEvent)
    vm.ShowFileSelect("fucomponent")
End Sub

Sub fucomponent_change(e As BANanoEvent)
    Dim fileList As List = vm.GetFileListFromTarget(e)
    If fileList.size = 0 Then Return
    'only process 1 file
    Dim fr As String = fileList.get(0)
    '
    Dim Result As Map
    Dim promise As BANanoPromise = vm.readAsText(fr)
    promise.Then(Result)
        'get the json content
        Dim txt As String = Result.get("result")
        Log(txt)
        '
    promise.Else(Result)
        Dim compError As String = Result.get("result")
        Log(compError)
    promise.End
   
    'nully file component so we can select same file
    vm.NullifyFileSelect("fucomponent")
End Sub

Upcoming Updates: Reading Excel files and processing the output

This is featured in the "modFiles" examples to import Excel worksheet.

This returns a JSON list that you can process anyway you want. This reads the first worksheet in the workbook.

1. Add a button to select the file

B4X:

Dim btnExcelFile As VMButton = vm.CreateButton("btnExcelFile", Me).SetLabel("Read Excel File Without Upload")
    cont.AddControlS(btnExcelFile.Button, btnExcelFile.ToString, 2, 1, 12, 12, 12, 12)

2. Add a file select

B4X:

vm.AddFileSelect(Me, "xlscomponent")

3. Add the click event for the file selector

B4X:

Sub btnExcelFile_click(e As BANanoEvent)
    vm.ShowFileSelect("xlscomponent")
End Sub

4. Trap the file change event and read the contents of the excel file.

B4X:

Sub xlscomponent_change(e As BANanoEvent)
    Dim fileList As List = vm.GetFileListFromTarget(e)
    If fileList.size = 0 Then Return
    'only process 1 file
    Dim fr As String = fileList.get(0)
    '
    Dim Result As Map
    Dim promise As BANanoPromise = vm.readAsBinaryString(fr)
    promise.Then(Result)
        'get the json content
        Dim data As String = Result.get("result")
        '
        Dim be As BANanoExcel
        be.initialize
        Dim records As List = be.ReadFile(data)
        Log(records)
        dtExcel.SetDataSource(records)
        '
    promise.Else(Result)
        Dim compError As String = Result.get("result")
        Log(compError)
    promise.End
    
    'nully file component so we can select same file
    vm.NullifyFileSelect("xlscomponent")
End Sub

In our case we load the contents of the excel sheet to the data-table, use dtExcel.SetDataSource(?) The data table column names are CaseSenSitive now!!

B4X:

'add a table to the page use the same columns in the excel file
    dtExcel = vm.CreateDataTable("dtExcel", "OrderDate", Me)
    dtExcel.SetTitle("Orders")
    dtExcel.AddSearch
    dtExcel.AddColumn("OrderDate", "Order Date")
    dtExcel.AddColumn("Region", "Region")
    dtExcel.AddColumn("Rep", "Rep")
    dtExcel.AddColumn("Item", "Item")
    dtExcel.AddColumn("Units", "Units")
    dtExcel.AddColumn("Unit Cost", "Unit Cost")
    dtExcel.AddColumn("Total", "Total")
    cont.AddControlS(dtExcel.DataTable, dtExcel.ToString, 3, 1, 12, 12, 12, 12)

that's really great job. somebody said that, its not possible.

now only 2 final wishes are left
1.PDF Designer for designing reports
2.inline edit......(for sales voucher)

Upcoming Updates: BANanoPDFMake inclusion

The PDFMake library will be part of the upcoming version. Anyone who wishes to use that will have to thoroughly familiarise themselves with how PDFMake works.

I wrote tutorials for this and the implementation here will not be any different:

Designer
Library

We will however include the designer in as part of the BVMDesigner to generate the needed source code like before.

Upcoming Updates: Full Control of the toolbar.

Previously, the toolbar comes prebuilt with a hamburger, a logo, a title and a spacer.

At times one wants to have full control on what should appear on the toolbar, thus, the toolbar code for this is no longer hard coded. You need to create your toolbar yourself the way you want.

For example, this toolbar above has been created with this code.

B4X:

'initialize the application
    vm.Initialize(Me, Main.appname)
    'add a hamburger
    vm.NavBar.AddHamburger
    vm.NavBar.Hamburger.SetVisible(True)
    'add a logo
    vm.NavBar.Logo.SetBorderRadius("50%")
    vm.NavBar.Logo.SetBorderWidth("1px")
    vm.NavBar.Logo.SetBorderColor("black")
    vm.NavBar.Logo.SetBorderStyle("solid")
    vm.NavBar.Logo.SetSize("46px","46px")
    vm.NavBar.AddLogo("./assets/sponge.png")
    vm.NavBar.Logo.Show
    vm.NavBar.AddTitle(Main.AppTitle,"")
    vm.NavBar.AddSubHeading1(Main.Version)
    vm.NavBar.AddSpacer
    vm.NavBar.SetVisible(True)
    vm.NavBar.SetModeFixed(True)

With this we are ensuring full control of your design to yourself. Off course the designer will help you with creating your toolbars.

Ta!

Upcoming Updates: BVM Designer Projects.

Download

BVM Projects allows one to create projects in the designer. With version 3.85, one is required to create components within a project. Components on the stage can then be saved on this project. One can work on multiple projects and then extract their components to the stage to "consolidate". To view just components of that project one needs to clear the components by Components-Clear

NB: It is important to use the BANanoVuetifyCore library for projects as it does not have additional extensions but just the pure VueJS + Vuetify frameworks.

Ta!

Mashiane · May 12, 2020

IMPORTANT UPDATE: BVM 4.00 about the Core, Designer and Extensions

Download

The BVMDesigner is now using the BANanoVuetifyCore Library and Extensions. The compiled versions of these extensions are in the 1. External Libraries folder, and the source code for them are available in the 0. Core Folder.

NB: Use the core library for your projects as it does not have the extensions. These will all be available as separate libraries soon.

B..Connect - Database Connectivity (BANanoSQL, SQLite, MySQL and MSSQL). PHP specific classes
B..Device - device component for designer
B..Prism - code view for designer.

BANanoVuetify Core 4.03 Update:

Download

BANanoVuetifyConnection - this now includes all backend database helpers. Due to the designer currently supporting BANanoSQL, we are coding it to support SQLite, MySQL, MSSQL code structures. This should be done sometime next week and has received priority.

The Designer has been updated to support Core 4.03. This helps in facilitating ease of building apps that have relationships between tables. The last and final part of Mock.Compile.Publish - Expense Tracker - Part 5 will show how to achive this with ease. This is coming soon.

Ta!

NB: 1. Added .AutoFocus(True) this applies to date / time picker, selects and text fields. This ensures that the focus is on the input control you want.
