Forum | Appery.io

Hey guys,

I dont know how you feel about it, but when i started with appery i was like WUHUUU thats so cool. Still now i really love the ui builder, integrating services and so on. The only thing missing for me is the javascript part. i dont really have big knowledge in this area and i dont get how you really can debug this stuff with chrome developer tools (debugging js not like c# or java - i dont really get why, but thats how it is it seems?)

so for me personally, i would really love to see the appery objects documented:
properties, methods, examples of how to use it a bit more then now in the docs. this way we could ease your life in support as i see a lot of questions about basic javascript. appery hides coding in such a good manner, that people almost dont see how you could interact with the objects. so maybe to make this worth a section in your docs would be nice i think.

what are you thinking about it?

cheers, yves

Hi -

What's really nice is that there are no special Appery.io objects or APIs you need to know. We got a small JavaScript library: http://docs.appery.io/javascript-api/ -- it mostly to make it easier to find elements in the DOM. You can also as easily use jQuery API to find elements in the DOM (there are examples). It's the same thing.

As for JavaScript - I recommend to find a good tutorial on the Internet. Appery.io does require at least basic knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I recommend this site: http://www.codecademy.com

It's also a good idea to understand how jQuery/jQuery Mobile works and its API.

Everything in Appery.io is based on standard and open technologies out there: HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery -- http://docs.appery.io/getting-started. The platform makes it very fast and easy to build apps using these technologies.

Hope this helps and makes sense...

Hey Max,

Yeah that makes sense of course. What i really miss is the objects properties and how to interact with them. So probably i will look around in jquery lib a bit.

Thanks and cheers,

Yves

Yes, check jQuery/jQuery Mobile docs. That's where everything is defined/explained.
