Stay tuned for more insights on leveraging Appery as a low-code editor in our upcoming video!

We have an exciting news for you today! In our last video (you can find more details in this post), we showed you how to integrate an app with ChatGPT-4o using our platform as a no-code editor. Now, we’ll take it a step further. In out new video tutorial, we are demonstrating a similar integration, but this time using a low-code approach.

This means that only a minimum amount of code will be needed to implement the ChatGPT functionality for more complex integrations. Intrigued? Let’s dive in!

For your convenience, we are also providing the step-by-step instructions below.

Getting Started: Create a New App

First, let’s go to the Appery.io platform and traditionally create a new app.

You’ll need to add the necessary OpenAI Key that you can get from the OpenAI portal. Navigate to the Settings service and enter this key.

Just like before, any application will automatically get access to the OpenAI object once the OpenAI API key is specified. You can find more details in our documentation if you need further guidance.

Setting Up the User Interface

Before we start creating our UI, we need to decide how the code will access the input and display the output. We can use either local or global variables. For this demo, let’s use global variables.

So, open Screen1 in your new app, drag the following UI components onto the page and define them as follows:

– Textarea (this is where you’ll enter questions):

• Label = Question
• [(ngModel)] = $v.question (Global variables are accessed with the $v variable) 

– Button: (this will trigger the function named process() to handle the questions):

• Text = Process
• (click) = process()

– Text: (this will display the responses from ChatGPT):

• Text = {{obj}}
•  Text in Editor = Food1 (to make page appear appealing in the editor without breaking the app’s UI)
• *ngFor = let obj of $v.arr

We configured our no-code app to receive output as an array, not a string. For this low-code app, we’ll do the same. Let’s assume that ChatGPT will return an array of entities which we will iterate over and display.

Setting Up the Process Function

It’s time to configure the process function:

1. Open CODE > Functions, enter process for the function name and make sure it’s set as an async method.

2. Define the process method with the following code:

this.$v.arr = await this.$a.openai.aioRequest(this.$v.question, {format: ["food1", "food2", "..."]})

In this code, we’ll use the OpenAI object to send requests and receive an array of strings as responses. The first parameter is our question, represented by $v.question.

We also need the response to be an array of strings, so we’ll define the format for the second parameter in our code.

To enhance user experience, add a loading indicator before sending the request and remove it once the response is received.

await this.$a.showLoading()

await this.$a.dismissLoading()

All Set! Testing the App

Your app is ready for testing! Enter a query, press the button, and see the output from ChatGPT-4o:

Hello everyone!

Have you ever wished mobile app development could be more straightforward? Appery.io, a powerful low-code app-building platform, can make your dreams come true—especially when you integrate it with ChatGPT. Combining Appery.io and ChatGPT accelerates the development process and simplifies adding complex business logic to your applications.

Why Use Appery.io with ChatGPT?

Appery.io‘s intuitive builder lets you quickly create your app’s user interface (UI). And with simple tools, you can seamlessly integrate ChatGPT, an advanced AI from OpenAI. By using ChatGPT, you can add sophisticated features to your app without diving deep into complex coding.

A Simple Integration Guide

Here’s a simplified walkthrough of how you can get started:

1. Create a New App

First, open Appery.io and create a new app. In a blank Ionic app, click CREATE NEW > Page to generate a page with a predefined GPT-4o screen layout based on GPT-4o technology.

2. Obtain an API Key

For this integration, you’ll need an API key from the OpenAI portal. Just click the provided link, generate your API key, and copy it.

3. Insert Your API Key

Go to Project > Model and Storage > Storage tab, and paste your copied API key. This step is essential for enabling the AI technology.

4. Build Your UI

Next, open Screen1 and create a simple UI to test your app’s business logic:

– Textarea component: For entering questions, define the [(ngModel)] value as “question”.

– Button component: Add a button for processing requests and name it “process”. Define its (click) method as process().

– Text component: This will display the response from ChatGPT. Define its Text value as {{result}}.

5. Add Business Logic

Navigate to the CODE tab and add two variables: `question` and `result`. Also, define the “process” function as an asynchronous method.

this.result = await this.$v.openai.aioRequest(this.question);

When you included the screen layout earlier, the OpenaiModule (check TypeScript > Module) was automatically added. This module has the `openai.aioRequest` method, which you’ll use in your “process” function.

6. Test Your App

Save your app and start testing! Ask a question and see how ChatGPT responds.

7. Enhance Business Logic to Get Response in the Form of an Array 

Let’s say you want a response in the form of an array.

To get different output format response, for example, an array, you’ll need to modify your function with defining the format parameter.

this.result = await this.$v.openai.aioRequest(this.question, {

    format: {

            arr: [“”, “”, “”]

        }

    });

Also, adjust your UI accordingly by adding an *ngFor attribute with the value set to let obj of result?.arr to the Text component and replacing its {{result}} with {{obj}}.

When testing, enter a request like, “Provide a list of ten healthy foods” and click the button to process it. ChatGPT will return the requested list formatted correctly. And just like that, with minimal coding, you’ve added valuable business logic to your simple app!

That’s all for now. To discover how Appery.io and ChatGPT can streamline mobile app development by integrating AI-powered business logic explore our YouTube video guide:

Remember to stay tuned – in our next videos, we’ll demonstrate how to add image processing functionality.

Have you ever wondered how to make you Ionic app access the list of contacts of your device?

Cordova Plugins:

Under the Project > App settings > Cordova plugins tab, you’ll see that the app uses the Cordova Contacts plugin, which has been automatically imported. This plugin helps fetch the contacts.

Ionic Contacts Wrapper

We utilize the Ionic Contacts wrapper for better integration. You can check its detailed documentation page if you wish to dive deeper into this.

Setting Up Variables

Open the Contacts page’s CODE tab to see the variables that were added automatically:

– `contacts`: Returns the contact list.

– `keyword`: Enables filtering.

– `SAMPLE_AVATAR`: Displays a sample picture. You can upload your custom one by using the Media Manager, if needed.

– `SAMPLE_CONTACTS`: Provides a sample list for testing in the browser.

Displaying Contacts List in the App

Now, let’s scroll to the Functions section to see how the contacts list is added in our code.

If the app runs in a browser, it uses the sample contacts from the variable above. But if the app is run on a real device, it accesses the actual contacts list via the predefined `contacts` variable.

Creating a User-Friendly UI

Here’s how to make the contacts list visually appealing and easy to navigate:

List Component:

Uses ListItem with the *ngFor attribute to iterate through the contact list and display each contact’s information.

Filtering Contacts:

The *ngModel keyword in the Search component allows users to filter contacts by name.

Using Selections:

The app lets users select contacts easily. Selected contacts have the selected property set to true.

Conclusion

And that’s how to get access to the list of contacts in an Ionic app! This straightforward guide aimed to simplify the technical aspects and provide a clear path for even beginners. Now you can easily fetch and display contacts in your Ionic apps.
