This video shows how to use the SQL and Script components to build a Login service. The SQL component runs a custom SQL query to check if a user exists in a database. The Script component adds custom logic to check what the SQL component returned and defines the response (user found or user not found).

Validating an email entered on a form is one of the most fundamental requirements in any mobile app. In this blog post, we are going to show you how to validate an email input field using a regular expression. This blog post is a follow-up to How to Add JavaScript Form Validation to a Mobile App post.
Validating an email input field using a regular expression is very simple. Here is the code to perform email validation.
// Read a value from the email input component.
// Apperyio() is a quick wrapper for a jQuery select
// emailInput is the name of the UI component
// It's possible to use jQuery directly as well
var emailInput = Apperyio("emailInput").val();
// Regular expression to validate email input value
var re = /^(([^()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
var test = re.test(emailInput);
// condition check part
if(test) {
alert ("Everything is good.");
}
else {
alert("Invalid email entered. Please try again.");
}
You can quickly add this code to any app inside a JavaScript file and reuse. Looking for more examples and how-tos? Check out YouTube channel for large number of short videos.
reCAPTCHA is a nice service that usually added to a registration form and helps prevent bots from registering automatically. The service usually displays a small and easy challenge to a human but which would be difficult for a bot to answer. In this blog post we are going to show you how to add reCAPTCHA to an Ionic app.
Let’s start.
Ionic Blank template.vcRecaptcha.js, and unzip the file.Create New > JavaScript, name it vcRecaptcha, check Upload from file and select the angular-recaptcha.js file from your drive. For type, select Angular module and click Create JavaScript.Screen1 and add an HTML component to the page.Properties panel, click Edit and add the following code:
<div vc-recaptcha key="'XXXXXXXX'" on-success="onSuccess()"></div>
where 'XXXXXXXXX' is the key generated on https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin (your key must be inside the double quotes).
Scope view and add a new function, name it onSuccess, and add the following code to the editor:
Apperyio.navigateTo("Success");
onSuccess() is the scope function that executes when the correct Captcha is entered (here, another page will open).
Success. Add a Text component to the page and paste Welcome! for its Text property.Project > Routing, click Manage dependencies for Screen1, and check reCaptcha.That’s it. You are ready to test your app with the reCAPTCHA.

Hi there – this is John, Appery.io CEO.
There has been a fair amount of discussion on the recent change in pricing for the Appery.io platform. I do want to assure you all that we are reading, listening, and we do understand the concern. We are grandfathering existing customers to their plans, but even without that, the change would actually affect a very small number of our customers as our platform is very efficient in the use of API calls, etc..
These changes should only impact a few of our customers that have the higher levels of consumption and need high levels of support and SLAs. For those customers you can contact us and we can work with you on an appropriate business model.
For the vast majority of customers, the only effect is that you will end each month having consumed 50% or 75% of the allowance versus an extremely small percentage.
By doing this, we are moving our high consumption customers to appropriate plans so that performance and quality of service is maintained for all. Please post any comments or questions and I will be happy to answer them.
This short video shows how to import backend services APIs into your app. Appery.io services consist of a cloud database, Server Code for custom app logic, and API Express for enterprise integration and service orchestration.

Update August 25: Please see a message on pricing from our CEO.
On August 30th, 2016 we will be revamping the online pricing for the Appery.io platform. Although pricing will be generally higher reflecting the significant enhancements we’ve introduced, we will grandfather in existing paid subscriptions.
If you are considering subscribing or upgrading your plan, you may want to do so before August 30th to be grandfathered in at today’s prices. Your price will be locked unless you make changes later. This is a great time to lock in the annual plan (or monthly) which has a big discount included. Please see the note about grandfathered plans at the end of this post.
To simplify the pricing there are now three plans: Pro, Team, and Enterprise.
The Pro plan is good for individual developers or small teams. The plan comes with 1 developer seat, and you can add 2 more developer seats to join your team.
The Team plan is for larger mobile development teams coming with 6 developer seats.
The Enterprise plan is for small, medium and large enterprises. The Enterprise plan may have any number of developer seats, apps, or API calls. It has private cloud or on-premise installation option, SLAs, and premium support.
We have also simplified and consolidated the platform API calls. There is now a single count for all platform API calls which includes: Database, Server Code, Push Notifications and API Express.
New pricing:
| Pro | Team | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|
About grandfathering current subscriptions (Basic, Standard, Pro, and Premium): Current paid subscriptions will continue with existing prices until a change is made to the subscription. Any change in the subscription will require the customer to change to one of the existing/current plans at the time of the change. For example, adding or subtracting developer seats, upgrading or downgrading a subscription, or letting a subscription expire without payment will require the selection of one of the new plans, at the new pricing. If you subscription expires or cancels due to no payment, you will need to select from one of the existing/current plans as well.
Appery.io App Builder – Ionic app.
One of the biggest pet peeves developers have is when they lose configurations, settings or default views they set in their development tools and need to reconfigure everything again. We are happy to share with you that we solved one of these pet peeves. When working in Appery.io App Builder, the platform now remembers the size and state (open/close) of the following panels:
This means if you resized the Properties panel or the Events panel and come back to this app, the App Builder will remember the settings you set for these panels. If you opened four tabs to edit pages and come back to edit this app in two days, we will remember what pages you have opened and will also remember which sub-tab you had opened (Design/Scope/Binding for AngularJS and Design/Data for jQuery Mobile).
A quick note on where this information is saved. The settings are stored in browser’s local storage. This means if you open the app in another browser/computer, your previously saved settings on another browser/computer will not be applied.
We think this is a great improvement and greatly improves the developer experience. Try it today and let us know what you think.
