Overview of this book

Organizations are moving their applications, data, and processes to the cloud to reduce application costs, effort, and maintenance. However, adopting new technology poses challenges for developers, solutions architects, and designers due to a lack of knowledge and appropriate practical training resources. This book helps you get to grips with Oracle Visual Builder (VB) and enables you to quickly develop web and mobile applications and deploy them to production without hassle. This book will provide you with a solid understanding of VB so that you can adopt it at a faster pace and start building applications right away. After working with real-time examples to learn about VB, you'll discover how to design, develop, and deploy web and mobile applications quickly. You'll cover all the VB components in-depth, including web and mobile application development, business objects, and service connections. In order to use all these components, you'll also explore best practices, security, and recommendations, which are well explained within the chapters. Finally, this book will help you gain the knowledge you need to enhance the performance of an application before deploying it to production. By the end of this book, you will be able to work independently and deploy your VB applications efficiently and with confidence.

Working with List View

List View is an out-of-the-box component that allows you to display items as a list or grid. This is a collection component like a table that is used to bind the array data provider to populate a collection of data.

In this section, we'll execute a use case where the data will be fetched from one of the external REST APIs and show the data in the List View component.

In order to execute this use case, a Service Connection is created using the REST endpoint (https://reqres.in/api/users/).

Important Note:

Refer to the Creating a Service Connection from an endpoint section in Chapter 5, Creating and Managing Service Connections, to know how to create Service Connections.

The following are the steps to use the List View component and populate it with external REST API data:

  1. Create a new page with the main-list page ID under the chapter8 web application.
  2. Drag and drop the List View component on the page. Move to the Quick Start tab...
