Working with App
This section focuses on managing and customizing individual apps within Nexverse. From
configuring layouts to adding interactivity, you’ll find all the tools needed to tailor your app for
specific requirements.
Key Components of an App

  1. App Pages Each app in Nexverse is structured with multiple pages, which can include: ● Home Page: The landing page users see when they access your app. ● Functional Pages: Pages with specific purposes like login, dashboards, or product listings. ● Custom Pages: Fully customizable pages for unique requirements. Manage these pages via the Page Manager, where you can: ● Add new pages. ● Reorder page hierarchy. ● Duplicate or delete pages.
  2. Layouts Layouts define the overall structure of your app, including headers, footers, and sidebars. ● Predefined Layouts: Choose from prebuilt layouts to save time. ● Custom Layouts: Use the visual editor to design layouts that align with your brand.
  3. Widgets Widgets are reusable components that bring functionality to your app, such as: ● Forms: For data collection (e.g., user registrations, feedback). ● Charts: To display analytics data dynamically. ● Tables: For structured data visualization. ● Interactive Elements: Buttons, sliders, dropdowns, and more. Drag and drop widgets from the Widget Library into your app pages.
  4. Styling Options
    Customize the appearance of your app with built-in styling tools:
    ● Themes: Select a pre-designed theme or create your own.
    ● CSS Editor: For advanced users who want to apply custom styles.
    ● Font and Color Settings: Adjust typography and color schemes directly in the
    Editor.

  5. Data Integration
    Bind app components to dynamic data sources:
    ● Link forms and tables to your database or API endpoints.
    ● Use real-time binding for live data updates.
    Interactivity Features

  6. User Flows
    Create smooth user flows by setting navigation rules between app pages. For example:
    ● Redirect users to a thank-you page after form submission.
    ● Guide users through multi-step processes.

  7. Event Management
    Define event triggers and actions for interactive components:
    ● Example: Configure a button to send a user’s input data to an API and show a
    success message.
    Testing Your App
    Before publishing, thoroughly test your app:

  8. Use the Live Preview to check functionality.

  9. Validate navigation between pages and user interactions.

  10. Test on multiple devices for compatibility.
    Next Steps
    Now that your app is fully configured and interactive, proceed to Working with Code for
    advanced customizations and integrations using code.

Working with Code
For developers looking to extend the functionality of their apps beyond the visual editor,
Nexverse offers robust coding capabilities. This section will guide you on how to use the
built-in code editor and integrate custom scripts.
Code Editor Overview
The integrated Code Editor allows direct access to your app’s underlying code. It supports
multiple languages and frameworks, making it flexible for various development needs.
Key Features:

● Syntax Highlighting: For HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and supported backend
languages.
● Code Snippets: Predefined templates to speed up development.
● Version Control: Undo changes or revert to previous versions of your code.
● Real-Time Preview: View changes instantly as you code.
Customizing App Behavior

  1. JavaScript for Interactivity
    Enhance user interactions using JavaScript:
    ● Add custom event listeners to widgets (e.g., buttons, forms).
    ● Implement conditional logic for advanced user flows.
    Example:
    document.getElementById('submitBtn').addEventListener('click', ()
    => {
    alert('Form submitted successfully!');
    });

  2. CSS for Styling
    Override default styles or add custom animations using CSS:
    ● Define global styles in the global.css file.
    ● Use page-specific styles for targeted customizations.
    Example:
    .button-primary {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 5px;
    }

  3. Backend Integrations
    ● Use Node.js or Python for backend logic.
    ● Integrate APIs for data retrieval, authentication, or external services.
    Example (API Integration):
    fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => console.log(data));

Using APIs
Nexverse simplifies API integration through the API Manager, but you can also write
custom code for specific requirements:
● Fetch data and populate components dynamically.
● Handle POST requests to send data back to the server.
Debugging and Optimization
● Error Logs: Access detailed logs to identify and fix issues.
● Performance Insights: Optimize your code for faster load times.
● Testing: Use built-in testing tools or external frameworks for end-to-end testing.
Best Practices

  1. Keep your code modular for better maintainability.
  2. Test frequently to ensure compatibility across devices and browsers.
  3. Document custom functions and scripts for team collaboration. Next Steps With a solid understanding of working with code, you’re now ready to explore Hosting your app on the Nexverse platform.
