The new JavaScript client APIs on AppWorks client can be used for developing custom pages/navigation as needed. Previously, any custom logic written outside and embedded in the AppWorks client (as XForm or HTML page in a Webcontent panel) did not have a tight integration which requires a hard refresh of client to see the updates.

Now with the new APIs, custom pages can communicate with AppWorks client to read/update an entity instance details and also allows you to perform navigation and actions from outside the AppWorks client.

These client API provides easy access to Entity data available in AppWorks client and navigation across multiple items/layouts through API's

  • Navigation across different layouts
  • Read data or relation of an Entity instance
  • Update the data of an Entity instance
  • Save the data of an Entity instance
  • Perform Action on an Entity instance
