Today we will show you how to copy pages into Appery.io projects. This very simple process is described in our documentation, but we are going to show you how to build apps faster by copying and re-using pages.
First create a new app and add some components to the page which you would like to clone.
Page we want to clone
“Going mobile” is more than just having a website—it means a whole load of things. It’s about reaching and engaging with your members in a new way, and offering your members a different way to receive information; making information accessible at any time and in any place.
While a website may provide information for your members, you also want to have a way to get your members talking to each other and joining in events and activities. We are in a society where we are constantly looking for up-to-date information, mobile apps provide us with this and our phones are within reach at all times. There are numerous angles your non-profit can take when it comes to creating a mobile app, some opt for informational such as The Red Cross, which provides weather alerts to help citizens better prepare for potential natural disasters. But, for your non-profit organisation, being mobile can mean any of the following things:
Popular Bootstrap Grid is available in Appery.io’s Bootstrap project as an UI component that can be dragged and dropped to the page. The following steps show how to change grid cell sizes for different screen resolutions:
Grid component to the page.GridRow through the breadcrumbs:
Columns properties in the PROPERTIES to the right of the screen. Type a number from 1 to 12 to define how it will look on the screen:
Don’t forget that you can emulate page size directly inside the editor, and when testing the app in browser by clicking XS, SM, MD and LG buttons.

It doesn’t seem that long ago when the first 4G smartphone hit the market, yet the wireless industry is already preparing for 5G. As each of the four worldwide mobile phone carriers are getting ready to bring us 5G, smart phone chipmakers, and major network equipment companies are joining the race to provide their customers with the “ultra-fast” 5G network.
However there are numerous hurdles which the industry will have to jump over before we will be seeing the 5G symbol on our smartphones any time soon. The reasoning for this? It has yet to be decided what 5G even means, let alone what it will look like when it finally arrives. What we do know is that 5G will soon become a necessity.
Validating inputs in mobile is very popular. Thanks to AngularJS, it can be quickly completed in one simple and convenient form. In the following example, you will learn how to create a required Input via ng-required directive, and how to resolve this issue in case the Input is not filled (show a message and disable the button):
Object)
String)user variable type of user (based on model described in step 1)init function of the scope has a single line of code:
$scope.user.name = 'Joe';
HTML component with a Container property = form (there is no such option in a dropdown so simply type it).name property and set its value to myForm.HTML component, there are Input and Text components.Input components to the following properties:
ng-model = user.namename = userNameng-required = trueColor = assertivetext = Required (or any text you want)ng-show = myForm.userName.$error.requiredHTML, and add a ng-disabled property with myForm.userName.$error.required value.If you try to remove text from the input you will see that button becomes disabled, and a Required message will appear. This way you can produce more complex validations according to your needs. You can see how the example above is built by creating an app from this backup.

This blog post shows how to add a custom logic to a REST API invocation for jQuery Mobile apps.
You may often need to modify data for a services request or a services response. You may want to launch a dedicated JavaScript function to do this. This is useful when you need to rewrite the response data with filtered/edited values, instead of doing this each time for each mapping. For example, your service response has an unneeded first value that you want to remove from the response:
Run JavaScript action for Success event of your datasource.Mapping action will be right to the Run JavaScript. This way, it’s guaranteed that the JavaScript code will be executed before the mapping.Run JavaScript action and write your code. You have a data parameter in this JavaScript function – that is your response value.data.splice(0, 1);

The following relates to the projects, which have already been imported as AngularJS Push Plug-in: by improving the AngularJS Push Plug-in, its PushRegisterDeviceImpl JavaScript file was modified. In order to update this file you need to replace its content with the updated one here. Alternatively you can simply re-import the plug-in itself, making sure that you have removed all of the related assets before doing so. This depends upon the Ionic and Bootstrap projects.
If you experience any problems with new implementation do not hesitate to ask our support team to help you.
It’s fair to say that we are about to experience a significant app explosion in the enterprise, and most organizations won’t be ready for it. According to Gartner the average enterprise will develop 1400 mobile apps by 2024! Since most of these apps will be custom, the total number of apps will be in the millions, dwarfing the explosion we’ve experienced in consumer apps over the last few years. Most IT leaders are already feeling pressured from the businesses and if you haven’t yet, you’re about to….
In this podcast and post, I explain the reasons for this explosion and what enterprises should do to be ready. Review Appery.io’s infographic or download Apperian’s Enterprise Mobile App Trends Report to learn more.
