Unlock Advanced Datetime Validation for Your Mobile Apps

Building a powerful mobile app often involves handling user-entered data, and dates are a common, yet tricky, element. Ensuring users pick the right dates – whether it’s an end date after a start date, or confirming a user is over 18 – is crucial for a great user experience. If you’ve ever wondered how to implement Datetime validation customization effortlessly in a no-code environment, you’re in the right place.

This post highlights a fantastic new video tutorial that shows you exactly how to take control of the dating component in your mobile applications.

Easy Validation in a No-Code World

Appery.io is a leading platform that lets you build stunning mobile apps without writing a single line of code. It offers powerful, built-in components like the Datetime picker. While this component is excellent out of the box, our video tutorial dives deep into how you can customize its validation rules to fit any complex requirement.

You’ll see how to easily:

• Set up basic validation to ensure a date is selected.

• Create advanced logic to check if a user meets an age requirement (like being 18+).

• Validate two dates against each other, ensuring the second date is always greater than the first.

• Fine-tune the trigger for validation to make sure everything updates instantly when a user changes a date.

The video also touches on the powerful Moment.js library, which is pre-integrated into Appery.io, simplifying all date calculations.

Plus, you’ll get a look at the alternative, sleek DatePicker Plugin available for a better-looking UI across all platforms.

Want to integrate Claude AI into your app? You don’t need to be a coding expert. With Appery.io, you can connect Claude AI’s Cloud API to your web or mobile app in just a few steps. This guide will show you how.

Also, if you are into video instructions, you can check our new YouTube tutorial for how to use our new Claude plugin:

Step 1: Create a New App

Start by making a new project in Appery.io. Choose the blank template to get a fresh start. Once created, test it. Right now, it only has one empty screen, but we’ll improve that soon.

Step 2: Add the Claude AI Plugin

To connect with Claude AI, add the Claude plugin to your app. This plugin lets you send text and image-based requests to Claude AI, allowing it to generate smart responses.

The app now has the Claude screen:

Step 3: Add a Button to Access Claude AI

Next, let’s open Screen1 and add a Button component to it. Set it up so that pressing the button will take users to the Claude screen.

Now, save the app and click to test it. Click the button, enter a prompt, and see what happens. You’ll get an API key warning, but don’t worry—we’ll fix it next.

Step 4: Enter Your API Key

To use Claude AI, you need to obtain an API key from them. Go to the Model and Storage > Storage section in Appery.io, paste your key, and save the app.

Test again. This time, Claude AI should respond correctly!

Step 5: Test Image Processing

Want Claude AI to analyze images? Click the TAKE PHOTO button. If you have more than one camera, select one. Then, ask Claude AI: What’s in the photo? It should process the image and give a response.

Step 6: How the App Works

Let’s break it down. In Appery.io, you can:

• ✅ Store API details in the storage section.

• ✅ Use the Claude AI screen to interact with the API.

• ✅ Invoke the Take Photo function to access the camera.

• ✅ Run the app as a mobile or web version and take photos accordingly.

When you hit the CLAUDE button, the claude request function sends the prompt and image to Claude AI for processing.

Step 7: Claude AI’s API Request Code

The request code is in the Functions section of Appery.io. Here, the app checks if an API key is present, builds a request body, and sends it to the API. 

That’s it! Your app is now integrated with Claude AI.

Final Thoughts

As you can see, integrating Claude AI with Appery.io is quick and easy. No advanced coding is needed! Follow these steps, and you’ll have AI-powered features in your app in no time.
