Reactive Web in OutSystems allows the creation of client-side web applications with rich interfaces and interactive user experiences. Not only following the most recent standards and best practices but allowing you to accelerate the development process using low-code to create cross-device applications. In other words, you can create an application that can be executed in any device, thus delivering fast value to end-users.
With OutSystems Reactive Web, you don’t have to worry about how to adapt your code to each one of the end devices because the platform will do that for you. Just worry about designing your code, publish it on the Service Studio, and let OutSystems Platform compile it, generating a Single Page Application (SPA) built on top of ReactJS.
Once the code is completed and compiled, the generated application will be based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, using ReactJS, thus running on any browser on various devices, like computers, tablets, or smartphones. The process of constructing your screens in a single page application (SPA) executes the Javascript, responsible for generating all the HTML elements and running the client-side logic, while asynchronously fetching the data. So now, there is no reason for your end-users to keep waiting for the response from the server, with your complex queries, to start interacting with the screens.
The first step that you need to do is install or upgrade your Service Studio to the last version (11.0 or above), then you can start to explore this new paradigm of OutSystems programming.
There is a lot of information on this topic however, this is a new and recent world in OutSystems, so in case you want to start exploring consistent documentation and learn more about Reactive, I recommend you check ITUp’s training programs for OutSystems Reactive Web Apps.
Good luck and be Reactive! And remember, the future is always one step closer.
Have you heard about the OutSystems Developer Cloud and want to know more about what's new and what the big benefits are? Then this article is for you!
When including forms in applications, developers often wonder if they need to re-validate data on the server side after having checked it on the client. Why go to the trouble of checking the data twice?
When developing an OutSystems reactive web app, you would expect to display data quickly, but it doesn't always happen. Do you know why? We'll explore the reasons and how to tackle them.
