Richly Formatted Client Side Data Displays & Reports in Alpha Anywhere

Richard Rabins
 

Because of the power of of Client-side templating now available in Alpha Anywhere, we have created this tutorial to help you unlock the potential in your mobile and web apps.


 

Client-side templating allows you to generate HTML for display by merging a data object into a template. The client-side template library in Alpha Anywhere is extremely powerful and can be compared with similar functionality in 3rd party templating libraries, such as Mustache.js and Handlebars.js.

In this video we show how a complex template can be designed to display data (a list of Orders with OrderItems for each order) in a richly formatted display.

The video shows how the templating system can compute values, including summary values.

Using the Alpha TransForm no-code product, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Alpha TransForm's built-in programming language.
