Some CRUD form generator

[fabiograz]

HI,
I find REI3 a very interesting project, very flexible open-source low-code platform. I think to accelerate application production some sort of CRUD base forms generator (list, record edit) is useful to create a first step of application prototype. After, developer may create any more sophisticated form from that.

What do you think?

Warm regards,
Fabio.

Hello Fabio,

I am not 100% certain what you have in mind. I think you might mean things like auto-generating forms by using all available attributes as inputs from one relation for example. Although in this case, it might take more time removing inputs that I do not want and re-arranging the auto-generated layout than to just add what I need.

Could you give some specific examples of what you have in mind?

Warm regards,

Gabriel

Hi,
years ago I used a 4gl platform to develop business applications (ERP systems). In this platform, starting from a table, I can generate forms to list the records of the table or modify the single record by selecting the table and the related fields to include. This is useful when I have many tables and many fields on them. In any case, this forms can be useful if I need a basic forms, especially when I want to create an application prototype and I don't want to waste time developing a more sophisticated forms at this stage. I can later rearrange any forms if needed.

Best regards,
Fabio

Hello Fabio,

Even though I never needed a function like this for my apps, it makes sense for quickly throwing together prototypes.

I´ve added this idea to our feature wishlist for the next releases. Thank you for your suggestion.

Warm regards,

Gabriel
