Hello, everyone! In our new video, we’re exploring a fantastic feature of Appery.io called “Text In Editor”, which can significantly enhance your mobile app development. This tool allows you to modify and fine-tune your app’s user interface (UI) directly within the editor, making the development process more efficient.

Quick Guide to Using Text In Editor

Suppose you’re working on an app that needs to display an array of objects. Here’s how you can set this up efficiently:

1. Go to the DESIGN tab: Drag the List component onto your workspace. If there’s an extra item, delete it by clicking the red cross.

2. Configure Properties: Select the first list item and add the `*ngFor` directive with `let item of items` in the PROPERTIES panel for dynamic display.

3. Manage Item Labels: Use the ‘Item Label Text’ property to link names or other necessary data dynamically from your array.

Addressing Common UI Challenges

During your preview, you might encounter issues like unappealing editor frames or disrupted layouts due to long expressions. However, with the “Text In Editor” feature, you can:

– Enter simpler text, such as “Yes” or “No,” to help visualize how content will appear, enhancing the mobile frame’s neatness.

– Use placeholder text in the “Text In Editor” for labels to distinguish between different data types (e.g., person names vs. product names).

These adjustments allow for a smoother design process and reduce the need for constant back-and-forth testing.
