Application Design
With a predominantly GUI interface,
WaveMaker now is ready to create a
Web-based application. A pivotal benefit
for the small-business user, this interface
relies on simple drag and drop for many
operations. Automatic processes assist
with form creation, data placement
and manipulation. Plus, error correction
is quite simple and capitalizes on the
familiar Edit and Undo routine whenever
you change your mind!
First, click on Canvas and Palette
as shown in Figure 8. The link to the
“linuxjournal” database previously cre-
ated now is available in WaveMaker’s
tree view. Now, let’s create a simple
entry and update application—in one
step. With the mouse, drag the
database onto the blank area of the
working screen. WaveMaker automagi-
cally populates the working area of
the Canvas with the sample data from
“linuxjournal”. It’s remarkable to watch
WaveMaker create editable (bold) fields
for the data on the bottom of the Canvas.
