NodeJS is one of the hottest programming technologies. It allows creating fully functional web apps in a few lines of code. What is more, apps on NodeJS platform can be made completely in JavaScript. Using the same language on client and server side gives us real bonuses.
Let’s see how the client-side code based on Webix UI can be connected to a database with the help of NodeJS.
Good news! The installation of Webix is becoming easier. From today the library can be installed with the help of NuGet or Bower dependency management tools.
NuGet is a package manager for the Microsoft development platform. You can install Webix by executing the following command line:
If you are a user of Microsoft Visual Studio, you should run the next command from Package Manager Console:
JavaScript UI library Webix allows redefining the appearance of many elements through templating. For example, in tree view we can define the look of item through the following template:
Here you can see the two main components of webix templates: common helpers and property placeholders. Common helpers are predefined pieces of logic which renders some common elements (tree icon in the above case). Property placeholders are markers that will be replaced with data from related data object.
By using html tags in the template we can change the look of component in many ways.
Today we are thrilled to announce a new version of Webix.
Webix 1.6 runs properly on Windows 8 touch devices and supports drag-and-drop operations on all kinds of touch devices. Version 1.6 also brings several UI improvements and enhancements in server-side integration.
After improving the work of the library on iOS and Android mobile devices we’ve passed on to enhancement of Webix support for Windows 8 touch devices.
Now you can develop web apps that support Windows 8 touch devices and show high performance.
Modern project managers need a fast and easy-to-use tool that will allow them to manage projects: add new tasks, set time limits for them, create different relationships between the set tasks and etc.
