Overview of this book

Low-code is a visual approach to application development. It enables developers of varying experience levels to create web and mobile apps using drag-and-drop components and model-driven logic through a graphic user interface. Mendix is among the fastest-growing platforms that enable low-code enthusiasts to put their software ideas into practice without having to write much code, and Building Low-Code Applications with Mendix will help you get up and running with the process using examples and practice projects. The book starts with an introduction to Mendix, along with the reasons for using this platform and its tools for creating your first app. As you progress, you’ll explore Mendix Studio Pro, the visual environment that will help you learn Mendix app creation. Once you have your working app ready, you’ll understand how to enhance it with custom business logic and rules. Next, you’ll find out how to defend your app against bad data, troubleshoot and debug it, and finally, connect it with real-world business platforms. You’ll build practical skills as the book is filled with examples, real-world scenarios, and explanations of the tools needed to help you build low-code apps successfully. By the end of this book, you’ll have understood the concept of low-code development, learned how to use Mendix effectively, and developed a working app.

Publishing REST

In the previous section, we discussed the concept of consuming a REST API and some of the artifacts that are native to Mendix to help accomplish that. In this section, we will look at the other side of that, that is, publishing a REST API for others to consume.

Eventually, you will wish to make some of your data available to other applications or services. One way to accomplish this is to publish a REST API, which other applications or services can consume. Thankfully, Mendix makes it really easy to accomplish this in a few simple steps. In this section, we will discuss export mapping and the published REST service as two key components of building your published API.

Export mapping

Similar to import mapping, export mapping defines the schema of the data. But instead of it being the data you are anticipating on receiving, it is the data you will be sending to other applications that request it. Export mapping is composed of the same key elements as import mapping...
