Overview of this book

Developers of all levels can now easily develop custom, responsive, and rich web application clients with secure, scalable servers utilizing relational databases and RESTful services using WaveMaker Studio. Whether you need a departmental business application or a form application for your weekend club, this book will show you how to design, develop, and deploy professional grade web applications with WaveMaker. Easy Web Development with WaveMaker will help you use WaveMaker to design, develop, and deploy rich, responsive web applications, even if you are not a programmer. If you need to build a data-driven web application, but you only know ‘enough to be dangerous,' you need this book. This book examines every angle of using WaveMaker to build applications, from dissecting examples to customizing, deploying, and debugging your own applications. This book enables the non-professional programmer to become comfortable not only with using WaveMaker Studio itself, but also with the artefacts produced by the studio as well as the runtime and services provided by the WaveMaker framework. You will learn everything, from how customize the user experience with JavaScript and CSS to integrating with custom Java services and the Spring Framework server-side. Easy Web Development with WaveMaker 6.5 is packed with examples, code samples, screenshots, and links to equip you to be successful with WaveMaker Studio.

Adding services


There is no single order in which you must build your project. However, as we learned in the previous chapter, types play an important role in projects, and project types come from the server. This means there is significant benefit to importing project services early in the creation of the application, as it enables us to use those service types to create type-specific forms and variables right away.

Tip

Try to minimize type iterations. While Studio will update existing typed components when you regenerate services with updated types, this is best avoided if possible. Studio is better at creating components of a type than updating component types. In the case of databases, this means finalizing your database schema as much as possible before importing it in order to avoid re-imports due to schema evolution. If you must make type updates, you might need to clear your browser cache or reload the project to get type updates to show.
