Mar 31, 2022
We have got some more new features!!! To give even better user experience of building web apps, our team is constantly upgrading the DrapCode builder with new features & functionalities. So, here's the curated list of all the builder updates and some educational content.
Let's dive straight into it:
What's New?
New features, latest developments & Updates!
Now Display External Content Using iFrames!
iFrame is a very cool feature. It allows you to insert content from any website using its URL. We have added this feature as a drag-and-drop component which makes using it very easy. You just have to go to the components panel and drag-and-drop the iframe component in the canvas. Then, insert the URL, and viola! all content on that web page will start showing on your web app page. Cool isn't it? 
Add Dependent Drop-downs!
Now you create dependent drop-downs like Excel in your web app. A dependent drop-down is a kind of a list whose value is dependent on another value. You can add multiple dependents and therefore, your dependent drop-down can be as long as you want. All you have to do is to create collections and the dependent drop-down event. 😀😀
Multi Tenant SaaS Plugin Has Arrived!
Yes, you read it right! Now you can build a multi-tenant SaaS web app on DrapCode. To make things easy-peasy, we have added a multi-tenant SaaS plugin. So, all you have to do is to install the plugin and incorporate the readymade multi-tenant architecture in your web app. It will help you build a web app that can serve multiple customers and organisations with a single software infrastructure. Don't worry each tenant's data will be isolated, thus, it'll remain invisible to other tenants. 😀😀
Now You can Run Custom Calculations!
We have upgraded the derived fields feature and now you can easily run complex logic and calculations on your web app. All you have to do is to choose the option of "Custom Calculations" while creating a derived field and add your formula or logic with the fields whose data you want to calculate. This feature will help you run complex computations on your data. 😀😀
