AppMaster.io No-code Platform Updates | January 2022

The power of the platform is growing every month. We didn't waste time and added new functionality to AppMaster.io and improved its performance. Check out the major highlights of January.

Improved file managing

We made significant updates in file managing on the platform. Now users can access the files' models and properties and make and expand file models. To simplify the work, we added new blocks in Business Processes related to file operations:

  • Search file;
  • Delete file;
  • Get file;
  • Get file metadata;
  • Get image thumbnail;
  • Make CSV file;
  • Make XLSX file.

New response and request content types

Endpoints now have a separate 'Files' section with all endpoints needed to manage your applications' files. Users are allowed to change file paths and manage middleware.

  • Request content type added: Multipart form data and XML;
  • Response content type added: XML, Render file, and Download file.

New deploy options with Docker

We added a centralized repository to store applications packed in docker images. Now you can deploy your applications to any server with docker via a single command - docker pull from our repository. Subscription with access to binary files required for this option to work.

Updated Business Processes organization

We updated the list view of business processes and added folders for more convenient navigation.

FAQ

What changed in file management?

AppMaster added more ways to work with application files, including file models, properties, and Business Process blocks for searching, deleting, retrieving, and checking file metadata.

Can I create CSV or XLSX files in AppMaster?

You can create CSV and XLSX files through Business Processes. This helps when your app needs to generate exports such as reports or lists.

Which file actions can Business Processes handle?

The new file blocks let you search for a file, get it, delete it, read its metadata, and create an image thumbnail. You can use them in visual business logic.

Where can I manage file-related endpoints?

Endpoints now include a separate Files section. It groups the endpoints your application uses to manage files in one place.

Which request content types are available now?

AppMaster now accepts Multipart form data and XML for requests. Multipart form data is useful when a request includes uploaded files.

What new response types can endpoints return?

Endpoints can now return XML, render a file, or trigger a file download. Choose the response type that matches how your app delivers its data or files.

Can I change file paths and middleware?

You can change file paths and manage middleware for file endpoints. That gives you more control over how your application handles file requests.

How does Docker deployment work?

AppMaster added a central repository for applications packaged as Docker images. You can pull an application image from that repository and deploy it to a Docker server with one command.

Do I need a subscription for Docker deployment?

You need a subscription that includes access to binary files. With that access, you can use the Docker image deployment option.

How do folders improve Business Process organization?

The Business Processes list now supports folders. Create folders to group related processes and find them faster as your application grows.
