How can you develop apps fast with Kuika?

The UI Design view mode allows you to create the user interface of the application you are developing. UI Design view mode has more than 80 drag-and-drop, reusable elements that you can use during the app development process. Each element comes with properties and styles according to its structure. You can organize element properties and styles according to your needs. You can review our related content to examine the elements and properties of the elements in Kuika.

You can add new screen templates to the application with the Screens panel. You can start with a blank screen or you can create CRUD type screens in seconds from the data table or Excel document you have prepared.

When you create a new app, it comes with default out-of-the-box screens that can potentially be used in the app. These default screens are;

• ‍Home Page (Dashboard),
• ‍Forgot Password ,
• ‍Reset Password ,
• ‍Sign in ,
• ‍Sign up ,
• ‍Verification Code ,
• ‍Left Menu.

Each screen in Kuika has Properties and Styles settings just like elements. You can determine the roles of the screens in the application (for example, start page) and/or perform authorizations on a screen-by-screen basis.

You can add system actions and Custom actions to the elements and screens in the workspace. System actions are actions offered by Kuika to speed up the application development process. You can access detailed information about system actions and their functions from our related content.

In addition to system actions, you can create custom actions in the application you develop. You can create custom actions through the SQL editor in Datasources. You can also use the Custom Actions panel on the left side of the UI Design view to create custom actions. You can also access the Actions list in the Properties panel under the CUSTOM heading and add them to the elements. You can find detailed information about creating custom actions in UI Design view mode in our related content.

Kuika attaches importance to user experience and provides convenience to the user in the application development process. One of these conveniences is the Item Tree panel in UI Design view mode. The Item Tree panel lists the open screen and the elements on it in a tree structure (parent/child). Through this structure, you can easily control the components on the screens.

Another convenience Kuika provides in the application development process is the multi-language structure. You can add language options to the application you develop with Kuika. Every application created in Kuika is in EN (USA) by default. In addition, there are interfaces where you can add and translate languages in Turkish, English, English (UK), French, German, Italian, Danish and Czech. You can find detailed information about UI Design view mode in our related content.

Every new application you create comes with ManagedDB hosted on Kuika local servers. Apart from this ready-made data source, you can add MSSQL and/or APIs and extend the application functions with C#.

From the left menu in the Datasources view, you can view and edit the data sources, custom actions and data tables in the application you are developing. You can also add a new data source, custom action and data table. You can access detailed information about Datasources view mode from our related content.

You can use one of the dozens of templates in Email Builder Template to send e-mail notifications to your users of the application you have developed, or you can create a new template yourself. You can access detailed information about Email Builder view mode from our related content.

You can quickly publish and preview an application you have developed in Kuika. In order to publish and preview the application you have developed, you need to make the necessary settings through Kuika Configuration Manager.

With the definitions that come by default, you can get a preview at any time from the moment you first create the application.

You can perform Web, iOS, Android and API Configuration settings through the Configuration Manager view mode. In web applications, you can prepare configurations for web only, and in mobile compatible applications, you can prepare configurations for both web and Android and iOS. You can access detailed information about Configuration Manager view mode from our related content.

With Kuika, you can quickly test the application you have developed on the Web with Run settings or publish it with the configuration you have created. You can test with Run settings created by Kuika or with your own configuration settings.

You can use the Run button on the top right corner of the Platform to perform the test with Run. To test and/or publish your application with the configuration settings you have prepared, you can use the Rocket icon on the Platform.

In line with all this information, we have prepared a flow that you can use to answer the question of how do I develop an application through Kuika. You can manage the process by using this flow during the application development process.

To summarize a process briefly;

1. First, create the interface design of the app in UI Design view mode.
2. Then create your data sources via Datasource view mode and connect the data sources to the interfaces you created in UI view mode.
3. Design the notifications you want to include in your app with Email Builder view mode.
4. Finally, through the Configuration Manager view mode, you can preview and publish your application by configuring the configuration settings for your application for web and/or mobile (iOS/Android). During the publishing process, it will make the process easier for you to check the requirements of the Android and iOS markets you want to publish for mobile applications.
