Multivalue Enhancements

I get a lot of survey's everyday. I have received several from Rocket Software on what I would like to see as Enhancements to UniVerse in particular, but multivalue in general. I thought I would toss this our for discussion with the forum members. Any thoughts?

Hi,

There is a Demo Site presenting Universe as the Backend Utilizing Unibasic, UniObjects & MVIS hosted on AWS as per Rockets v12 Universe Supporting Angular SPA as the Front-End. 

https://rocket-demo-68270.web.app/login

Contact me to turn on the Universe AWS server when you want to access the Demo

Hi Darren, 

    I think we are talking about different things. As you say well, MVIS allows you to feed or support MV data to an Angular, React, or any other JS framework. But then you have to program in Angular or React the rendering of the MV data, in which case you have to learn Typescript or Javascript. The main benefit of the framework I am finishing is that you don't have to write a single line of Javascript, Typescript, Java or any other language that MV Basic. You create forms using a web interface, and then program one MV Basic handler for each form. In the MV Basic handler you call MV Basic functions provided by the framework to build the JSON response to send to the browser through MVIS, and the Javascript side of the framework renders the JSON into the SPA. When the user submits a form in the browser, functions of the framework process the JSON returned by the browser, and gives your MV Basic handler an Id and an dynamic array with the contents of the submitted data, including associated MVs and ICONVed data. This feature is what makes your web programming much faster, since you don't need two separate developement teams, you do it all from the MV side!

  ¡Saludos!

Hi Enrique,

Perfect. It would be great to read a white paper on this architecture. Our Architecture was designed to remove the Full-Stack Developer & leverage the Back-End & Front-End Development Team. Looking to spread our dependencies & take advantage of PrimeNG collection of rich UI components for Angular

On your point 4 about web integration. I always thought that an API was the way to go instead of redoing what AccuTerm or wIntegrate does with loading your BASIC code with more subroutines. If you can pass JSON to and from UniBasic in Universe/Unidata, that solves most of the issues because the web does not understand the dot's in our dictionaries. Using the web instead of one-for-one on database licenses since most of the users are not active is definitely the way to go. Also, having real HTML/JavaScript/CSS on your website allows you to do a majority of the validation on the client instead of the database. Instead of trying to find programmers that understand Universe/Unidata you can get Code School programmers that understand HTML/JavaScript/CSS and use them to customize the code as needed without having to change UniBasic code. 

That is my take.

Hi Darren,

  In short I'll be posting more info, and see if I can make some video, and have a test user on some test site to play with.
