Step-by-Step-Guide
Data
Data is central to your app’s functionality. It’s organized into two parts: Data Model and Database.
Data Model
Think of the data model as the blueprint for your website’s structure. It defines your tables, fields, and how they relate to each other. Before setting up your data model, it's helpful to plan out the types of pages, content, and features you want your website to have.
For example, in this project, we have 10 different tables, each storing specific information for different parts of the site:
Account: Stores user information if you’re building a login feature.
Landing Page: Stores the content on the home page.
FAQs: Stores frequently asked questions.
Pricing Feature, Plan Details Comparison, Memberships: These tables handle all pricing and membership information, with a 1:N relationship (a single price tier can have multiple features).
Feature index, Feature Detail: Stores the content for feature index page, they are in 1:N relationship.
*1:N: This means that one item in Table A (e.g., membership) can have multiple associated items in Table B (e.g., different features).
Database
Once the data model is built, you can populate the data in your database. Database is where you manage the data for each table.
Design
UI Building
You can break each page into three main parts: Navigation, Main Content, and Footer. Group components in different parts into View for easy management. Here's how it works:
Navigation: The navigation bar is created using text and button components. You can add hover effects and configure them to navigate to different pages when clicked.
For login button, head to settings and choose the login method. Then go back to the navigation bar and configure the login action.
Main Content: Add text, image and list components to display the content, adjust the layout on the right. For static content (like titles and descriptions), just type it directly into the sidebar. For dynamic content (like a list of items), bind the content to your database so it updates automatically.
Footer: Similar to the navigation bar, the footer is built using text and button components, and you can easily configure links or actions.
Pro Tip: For sections like the navigation or footer, you can save them as reusable components. This makes it faster and easier to maintain consistency across your pages.
Data Binding
Connect your frontend with your backend to display the content via data binding.
Bind a list to the table. For example, we bind the horizontal list on the main page with the landing page table. So that the list automatically updates when you add or modify data.
Select individual components (e.g., titles, images) and bind them to the corresponding fields in your table.
Preview and publish
Once you’ve designed your site, it’s important to test everything before publishing.
Real-time Preview
By clicking the "mirror" in the right corner of the editor, you can preview your app in real time. This function is useful when you make a change in the UI or check if you bind data successfully.
Preview
Generate the latest version before publishing to check functionality. You can preview how your app runs in a real web environment via the link.
Publish
Once everything is done, hit publish to deploy your app. Your website is now live and accessible on the internet. You can also configure a custom domain in the settings to brand your site.
