📰What's New?

New features, latest developments & Updates!

🌐 Build Data Table on Data Stored in Session

What's this Feature All About?

At times, while building a web app, you connect to an external REST API and if that API returns the data in the form of a list or an array, then you can display that data in the data table without storing it anywhere.

This feature is really helpful for displaying data in tabular format by reading it directly from the browser session.

Use Cases:

• Display API response data to End users without storing it anywhere

• Filtered data for your team members as per their roles/permissions

📝 Displaying Data Directly from REST API to Pages & Snippets

What's this Feature All About?

As you know, you can use DrapCode as a Front-end builder to build web apps on the top of an existing data source.

Now you can also display data that is stored on any external location, directly on your web app's details pages or in modal pop ups.

Use Cases:

• Create details pages such as profile pages, product details pages, etc. using data coming via external APIs.
• Set up blogging sites and display blog content coming via an external API.

📁 Search & Download Data in CSV via External API without Storing it

What's this Feature All About?

Many organisations have an external data source on top of which they want to build their app. And DrapCode allows that by providing them a front-end builder.

With this feature, you will now be able to implement search on any data coming from external data sources such as, Supabase, Firebase, Airtable, Google Sheet etc, so that you can see and filter the results on the real time.

End users can also download that search results as a CSV file.

Use Cases:

• Easily find specific data by searching the keyword.
• Filter data on the basis of categories, name, number, etc.
• Search how many products are shipped to a pin-code.
• Download the searched data in CSV & share it via email or save it as a file.

🏗️ Dropdown values from Current LoggedIn User data

This upcoming feature will provide you the option to show the drop-down field values from current logged in user fields or any fields of the reference field of current user. For example, you can create a sub set or a personalised list from drop-down list options and restrict options to display in the drop-down list to cater specific department or a group of people or an individual.
