Lowcoder v2.4.6

After a fruitful summer full of hard work, we are pleased to present v2.4.6 of Lowcoder. Alongside many bug fixes and improvements, we have introduced a long list of fantastic new features!

New Features

New & Updated Translations

  • Language Updates: Existing languages are updated based on English as the master file - by Deepl APIs help.
  • New Languages Added: We now support Chinese, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Russian. More languages will follow. The new Languages Italian, Spanish and Russian are fully auto-generated. It would be amazing if you can help us to correct the flaws, so the translation will increase it it's quality! Soon we will prepare a small App, that can help to achieve this for you.

Table Enhancements

  • Summary Rows in Tables: You can now add up to three empty rows that are unconnected to the data source and fill them with summary calculations or status/progress displays (e.g., "SUM", "TAX", "TOTAL"). Data calculations can be performed for each column based on the bound table data object or other queries. (#1114)
  • Improved Table Editing Experience: Editing data in tables is now more efficient. Users can activate edit mode with a single click or double-click (configurable by the App Creator) and navigate through cells using the tab key, which auto-activates edit mode. (#1114)
  • New Record Edit Rows: App Creators can activate a new row type displayed at the end of the table to enable users to enter new records. The data is accessible as table.toInsertRows and can be bound to a different Data Query (e.g., INSERT). (#1114)

Timezone Support for Date and Time Components

  • Timezone Selection: The App Editor can set a default timezone for Date, Date-Range, Time, and Time-Range components or allow users to select the corresponding timezone. The time.timeZone provides a JSON object with information about the user-selected timezone, and time.formattedValue includes the timezone name accordingly. (#1144, #1151, #1162)

Calendar Updates with Tab-Modal

  • Enhanced Event Data Entry: Provides more fine-grained control for event data entry in the calendar.
  • Improved Visuals for Past Events: Colors are now also applied to past events with a slight grey layer, making it visually clear that these events are in the past.

Kanban Component (Experimental)

  • New Kanban Component: Introduced an experimental Kanban component, demonstrating the ability to place Lowcoder components inside the Kanban card display, opening up endless possibilities for its use.

Supabase SDK Integration

  • Native Supabase SDK Support: App Creators can now fully use the Supabase Client SDK in their apps.

Scrollbar Control

  • Enhanced Scrollbar Options: Added better scrollbar control (dynamic or static switch) to show/hide vertical and horizontal scrollbars independently for many components like Table and Container. (#1080)

Customizable HTTP Headers for OpenAPI Data Queries

  • HTTP Header Customization: Added the ability to customize HTTP headers for OpenAPI-based Data Queries.

User Logout Function

  • Programmatic User Logout: Added a user logout function (utils.logoutUser()), allowing App Creators to help the currentUser log out via a JavaScript Query.

Modal Component Enhancement

  • 'Open' Event for Modals: Added an 'open' event to the Modal component, so App Creators can now use event handlers when the Modal is opened by a user. (#1139)

FirebirdSQL Data Source

  • New Data Source Support: Added support for FirebirdSQL as a data source. (#1136, #1140)

Private NPM Registry Support

  • Private Component Repositories: Changed the Remote Components Repository mechanism to support private hosted repositories. App Creators and companies can now operate and use a private NPM repository for their individual component plugins, which also aids in component plugin development. (#1061)

Concurrent App Editing Display

  • Optimistic Locking Strategy: Introduced a display to notify when another user is editing the app. If User A is editing an app and User B opens the same app, User B will receive a notice that User A is editing. After 3 minutes of inactivity from User A, the lock will be removed, and User B can proceed to edit the app. (#1113, #1163)

Improvements

App Rendering Optimization

  • Minimized Re-rendering: Invested time to optimize and speed up app rendering, enhancing the overall experience for App Users. (#1147, #1159)

Unified Waiting Indicators

  • Controllable Loading Indicators: Unified various waiting indicator types to now only show skeletons for all components. This helps to calm the visual impression of app loading states. Added the possibility to generally activate or deactivate the loading display for "App Loading" and "Data Query Loading" via Themes. (#1146)

Improved SMTP Server Support

  • Fixed SMTP Server Issues: Resolved issues with the SMTP server to send password reset emails. (#1171)

Page Title Customization

  • App Title in HTML Title Tag: Enabled the App Title (from App Metadata Settings) to be displayed in the HTML title tag, so it shows as the page title in browser tabs. (#1158, #1161)

Extension/Module Search

  • Module Search Enhancement: Fixed the issue where users could not search in the Extensions/Module section for their modules by name. (#1154)

Reduced Branding in Password Reset Emails

  • Neutral Email Templates: Reduced branding in the email template for password reset. Now it is fully neutral.

Option to Show/Hide Save/Cancel Buttons in Table Toolbar

  • Toolbar Customization: Added an option to show or hide save/cancel buttons in the table toolbar. Exposed functions within the table to cancel changes. (#1129)

Dynamic/Conditional Styles

Stability Update

We are thankful not only for your patience with us but also for your help in reporting issues, such as bugs and wishful features.
In this small update we worked further on the fixing and stabilization of v2.4. and rounded up the OAuth Token Matching.
Now you can indeed match directly email -> email from the token.

When a new account Signs in with your Generic OAuth Provider, then Lowcoder will try to find the email when pointed as matching configuration and not simply "false". We will look in eMails of the eMail Auth Provider - but also in eMails of existing different OAuth providers for an account (imagine you use Linkedin and want to match with an eMail of a user which used Facebook before)

Also, we turned the default value of "prevent overriding Styles" on App Level to "true", so at first try and opening of existing apps with a new theme - the app will stay pretty much without influence. Only if you then place new components, they will behave after the new Theme.

Lowcoder 2.4.1 - Rock

After weeks of sweat, we are proud to announce the release of Lowcoder 2.4.1! This version is a stability-focused update aimed at enhancing your overall experience. We've addressed a number of bugs and introduced new features that ensure a smoother and more efficient workflow. Here’s what’s new and improved:

New Features and Enhancements

  • GUI Mode SQL Query Fix: Enhanced the SQL query execution in GUI mode, ensuring accurate and efficient data retrieval.

  • Proxy Server for REST & GraphQL Queries: Implemented a proxy server to streamline and secure REST and GraphQL queries.

  • Component Styling Additions:

    • Outer Shadow

    • Inner Shadow (Input Fields)

    • Animation (!!!)

    • Label Border

    • Outer Border

    • Rotation (!!!)

  • Timeout for Refresh-Token Endpoint: We Added a timeout feature for the refresh-token endpoint to enhance security and performance. Some of the 3th party Auth Services may miss Endpoints, so we have now a timeout in place to ensure no freezing state.

  • Redirect Back to App for Auth Flows: We improved the OAuth flow to redirect users back to the app seamlessly after authentication. This was very important! If now a user tries to open an App, but misses Authentication, he / she get's redirected to the Org-Auth Login - and after successful auth - back to the app.

  • Copy-able State Information Per Component: Users can now easily copy the state information of each component for better debugging and analysis. In the left menu bar of the Editor, there is a list (tree) of components for the current app. Before 2.4.1 information about the data state were displayed - but practically not to copy and to use. This we changed now and gave it a very nice roundup.

Documentation

  • We merged now the documentation from Gitbooks with the Repository. This gives a better experience for everyone, who start to read in Github first.

  • Also, we updated the Contribution and Developer Readme's, so your first steps in extending and coding in Lowcoder are at all possible and a better experience.

Bug Fixes

  • OAuth Setup Fixed: We addressed and resolved issues with the generic OAuth setup to ensure a smoother authentication process.

  • User Introspection Optional: We made user introspection optional, providing greater flexibility in user management.

  • Password Reset Flow Bugfix: We corrected bugs within the password reset flow to ensure a more reliable and user-friendly experience.

  • Table Current Row Values: We fixed the issue where current row values were not correctly passed to module inputs nested in the expanded view.

  • OAuth Display (Icon) Fixed: We resolved display issues with OAuth icons for a more visually consistent experience.

  • Profile Image Display Fixed: We ensured that profile images display correctly without requiring additional API calls to external sources. As an legacy there was a API call to a service, which returns the Initial Letters, when there is no profile image set. We removed this, cause every external API call is always unnecessary and a security risk.

Focus on Stability and Performance

The past few weeks have been dedicated to fixing bugs and increasing the overall stability of Lowcoder. Our primary focus has been on improving the Generic OAuth setup to provide a more secure and reliable authentication process.

We hope these updates will enhance your experience and provide you with a more robust and efficient toolset. Thank you for your continued support and feedback.

Enjoy the new and improved Lowcoder 2.4.1!

Lowcoder v2.4 - a Major Update!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Lowcoder v2.4, an important update that brings a new era of elegance, professionalism, and power for our platform. With v2.4, Lowcoder has transformed into a serious competitor in the landscape of Lowcode Application Development Platforms, setting a new standard in functionality and design. This release establishes Lowcoder as the premier choice for building external applications, customer-facing apps, and complete websites, next to all kind of internal Apps for Companies and Enterprises.

Our unique feature set now positions us as the go-to platform in many sectors, offering capabilities unmatched by others. We see the increasing enthusiasm and confidence from the market, as we welcome a lot of global enterprises to our community too.

Enhanced Components

Calendar: Introducing Premium Views which provide richer and more interactive visual representations of schedules and events. These enhanced views offer more intuitive navigation and greater customization options to meet diverse user needs.

List & Grid Component: Now supports horizontal layouts, giving users more flexibility in how data is displayed. This is ideal for creating more visually engaging interfaces and can be particularly useful in dashboards and media-rich applications.

Tabbed Container: Expanded to support four directions—up, down, left, and right. This versatility allows for a more dynamic UI layout, accommodating more complex application designs and improving spatial utilization.

Sliders and Range Sliders: Added vertical layout support, enabling more spatially efficient UI designs, especially useful in scenarios where screen real estate is limited, such as mobile devices or embedded applications.

Style Enhancements: We've expanded style support across numerous components, allowing for greater customization and consistency with branding requirements. This includes new styling options for backgrounds, fonts, and color schemes to make your applications look more polished and professional.

Style “Reset”: We invested time to bring the styles back to the standards. At v2.3.1 we introduced many new style capabilities, but did not found time to keep everything backwards compatible. Now we did this and things should look good “again”.

Input Enhancements

Prefix Text for Number Inputs: Users can now add a prefix to number inputs (e.g., currency symbols, units) to provide clearer context to the data being entered, enhancing usability and accuracy.

Icon Additions for Number and Text in Table Columns: Introduce icons in table columns to help users quickly identify column types or to highlight specific data fields, improving visual scanning and data interpretation.

Enhanced Fixed Number Precision in Table Columns: This improvement allows for more accurate data representation and calculations, crucial for financial and scientific applications.

Boolean Icons in Table Columns: Replace plain text or checkboxes with intuitive icons for Boolean values, making tables easier to read and interact with.

New Switch Input for Table Column Modifications: This update introduces a toggle switch input for quick Boolean value adjustments directly within table columns, streamlining data entry and modifications.

New Components in Lowcoder 2.4

Layout and Design Components

Page Layout Component: We are proud to introduce the new Page Layout Component in Lowcoder v2.4. This powerful component allows for the free design of page layouts, including the ability to nest layouts and incorporate dynamic elements such as menus and footers positioned as siders (left, inline, or right).

Within the body of the layout, you can embed full Lowcoder applications—even those hosted remotely—or utilize a grid system to place any component exactly where you need it. This flexibility, combined with responsive layout capabilities and screen size information, opens up a whole new world of possibilities for crafting tailored, efficient, and visually appealing digital environments. Whether you're building complex applications or simple, elegant interfaces, our new Page Layout Component provides the ultimate toolset for creativity and precision in your app development.

Card Design Component: A flexible container for varied content types, perfect for creating responsive layouts with grid, overview sections, or feature cards. (thank you @mousheng!)

Shapes Component (Preview): Offers over 100 geometric shapes for adding creative visual elements to projects, similar to capabilities in PowerPoint. As we need to work on the ability to have own gradients, colors and borders for the shapes, we see it as preview. (thank you @freddysundowner!)

Float Text Layout: Allows text to wrap seamlessly around any object, improving content integration and layout aesthetics.
Functional Components

Openlayers GeoMap: The Openlayers GeoMap leverages the power of the OpenLayers project to enhance your applications with sophisticated geographic data capabilities. Whether you need to display locations, track movements, or manipulate geographic data layers, the Geo Component makes it straightforward and efficient. (thank you @sjhoeksma!)

GeoMap Charts Overlay: This component allows you to use GoogleMaps, bot on top of it eCharts as overlay, greographically placed! Now you can show for example KPIs by Locations or movements of Items / Things on the map.

Steps Component: Visualizes user progress through a sequence of tasks or navigation stages, ideal for multi-step forms and process flows.

Tutorial in Apps: Provides interactive onboarding or feature introductions, enhancing user engagement.

Avatar & Avatar Group Components: Displays user profiles with support for images, icons, or text, suitable for social networking scenarios or team displays. (thank you @mousheng!)

Float Button: A floating overlay button for quick actions and navigation, enhancing user interaction without disrupting the visual flow of the application. (thank you @mousheng!)

Transfer Component: Facilitates efficient two-sided data management, ideal for roles, permissions, or grouped data settings. (thank you @mousheng!)

BPMN Component: Models business processes in a standardized format, supporting complex workflow visualizations. (thank you @sjhoeksma!)

Pivot Table (Preview): Enables dynamic data analysis and interactive reporting, crucial for data exploration and business intelligence. (thank you @mat02)

Turnstile Captcha: Enhances security with a user-friendly validation method, minimizing spam and automated submissions. (thank you @sudoischenny)

Hillchart: Provides a novel visual method to track project progress, distinguishing between exploratory and completion phases in project management.

Major Feature Additions

Generic OAuth Provider Support

With Lowcoder v2.4 we introduce Generic OAuth Provider Support. This powerful new feature empowers administrators to integrate a wide array of login sources into their applications, greatly expanding authentication options. Whether it's popular social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn or robust corporate identity management systems such as Azure AD, KeyCloak, and Okta, Lowcoder now should seamlessly supports them.

Minimal Branding in Lowcoder v2.4

In our commitment to providing a seamless integration experience, Lowcoder v2.4 reduces our platform branding, allowing you to use our tools in your projects with minimal visual intrusion. The only remaining element of Lowcoder branding is a discreet "Powered by Lowcoder" label on the login screen, which is mandatory but designed to be unobtrusive.

This change is part of our ongoing effort to ensure that Lowcoder can serve as a behind-the-scenes engine that powers your applications, without drawing attention away from your own branding and design aesthetics. By keeping our presence minimal, we empower you to showcase your brand more prominently, enhancing the look and feel of your projects while maintaining a professional appearance. Whether you're building applications for external customers or internal stakeholders.

Agora Meeting

Smaller Bundle Size for Agora Meetings: We moved the Agora Package to Lowcoder-Comps (remote comps) and upgraded to production state: Agora Meeting has now been fully integrated as a component within Lowcoder, making it easier than ever to embed real-time video and audio communication features into your applications. We moved it to reduce the bundle size for standard Lowcoder applicatios (they may not even use Agora Meeting Components), as the Agora SDK comes with around 500kb only.

User and Organization Enhancements

New User Profile Page: The redesigned User Profile Page now includes a Language Switch, empowering users to select their preferred language, enhancing accessibility and user experience. Additionally, users can manage their API keys directly from their profile, ensuring secure and convenient access to integrations and services.

New Organization Welcome Page: This feature provides a customizable welcome page for new users, making their first interaction with your organization engaging. Admins can select an application within the workspace to be displayed as the Welcome Page, personalizing the onboarding experience.

Password Reset Flow: We've developed finally the password reset process to allow users to independently reset their passwords, supported by SMTP server integration. T...

💥 Kaboom!

💥 Kaboom!

Today is a massive day for Lowcoder as we introduce version 2.3.1, which we've excitingly named "Kaboom". Even though the version number only slightly changes from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1, the update brings major improvements. It marks a big change in how we create and develop applications, showcasing our bold goal to combine an App Builder, Web-builder, Slides & Presentation Builder, and a Collaboration & Online Meeting Tool all into one unique platform. Lowcoder stands alone in this effort, as the only platform where you can build all these tools together, including embedding your own apps into online meetings. There's nothing else like it out there.

Finally, Layers...

Overlapping Components in Layers: Inspired by the versatility of Photoshop, we've introduced the capability for components to overlap within layers. This groundbreaking feature is a giant leap towards realizing our vision of a unified platform. It empowers businesses and application creators to slash application development costs by up to 90% across various domains, paving the way for the creation of native websites with Lowcoder.

We introduce Layers in a way that it is a non-breaking change ... IF you not use that switch. That means: Lowcoder Editor and Lowcoder Apps will behave as always till you switch on the Layer Feature. Currently, it is App-Wide as a setting activated. So, you can use the feature for each app individually. And as soon as activated, apps behave differently! In a way, it "IS" breaking change, as Layouting is different - since currently, Auto-Height of Components is active - but does not "push" other components down (as we have layers now). You need to take your first steps and get a new habit out of these circumstances. It depends on the type of App you want to build if Layers make sense or not.

Lowcoder Marketplace

The launch of the Lowcoder Marketplace marks a pivotal moment in fostering community collaboration. This feature simplifies the sharing and utilization of applications within the community, offering a global marketplace accessible at app.lowcoder.cloud and on self-hosted installations. Each self-hosted installation also benefits from a "local Marketplace," which can be either publicly accessible or private, for exclusive use by logged-in users.

Introduction

We are thrilled to announce a monumental update to Lowcoder, marking a significant leap in our journey. This release isn't just an upgrade; it's a transformation, expanding Lowcoder's capabilities far beyond its original scope. It is also an invitation! We invested a lot of time in the renewed Component Plugin Mechanism, making it a "piece of cake" to develop Components for Lowcoder. Give it a try. You can start from here: https://github.com/lowcoder-org/lowcoder-create-component-plugin

What's New?

Enhanced Styling Capabilities

Enhancements for your App Design: Break the boundaries of styling limitations. With this release, create not just functional but aesthetically stunning applications, suitable for both internal- and customer-facing apps.

Enhanced Table Control & Events

We've extensively upgraded the core table component, the centerpiece of many applications, enhancing not only its styling options but also expanding its functional capabilities, with even more exciting updates on the horizon.

Performance and Security Update

Speed and Safety Upgraded: Experience a noticeable enhancement in application performance.
This fundamental upgrade not only makes Lowcoder faster but also elevates its security standards.

Component Plugin Mechanism Overhaul

Simplified Component Development: Dive into component creation without the hassle of navigating the extensive Lowcoder codebase. Develop components locally using individual repositories and share your creativity through the NPM registry.

Expanded OAuth Support

Seamless Authentication: With the addition of GitHub, Google, KeyCloak, and ORY, our OAuth capabilities are now production-ready. Enhanced user management with automatic merging of users with identical email addresses across multiple logins.

Improved OAuth API Integration

Streamlined API Interactions: Leverage the re-use of Auth Tokens (JWT) for Rest-API, GraphQL, and OpenAPI. This feature allows impersonated users to make authenticated API calls, enhancing backend integration.

Administrative Updates

ENV Variables Cleanup: We've streamlined environment variables for clearer administrative settings, particularly for self-hosted installations.

Important Notice: Breaking Changes

Test Before Transition: Due to the extensive nature of updates, existing setups may encounter breaking changes. We strongly recommend setting up a parallel testing environment before fully transitioning to this version.
Styling Adjustments Needed: The introduction of default styling values may disrupt existing app designs. However, these changes open doors to more dynamic styling options and are easy to adapt to.

The Bigger Picture

Unifying Diverse Tools: This release propels Lowcoder towards our ambitious goal of merging three core functionalities - rapid app development, website building, and presentation tools. Moreover, we're enriching this ecosystem with video call capabilities and collaborative features. And our journey doesn't stop here. We are committed to expanding our authentication providers, enhancing role and claim management in JWT, and introducing more user-centric features in upcoming releases.

Conclusion

This release is a giant stride forward in our mission to redefine application development and collaboration. We eagerly await your feedback and can't wait to see the remarkable applications you'll create with these new capabilities.

We wish you a perfect Start into 2024 and happy App Developing!
