Rapid Application Development Life Cycle

The diagram below illustrates the RAD life cycle. When requirements or the data structure change, the process can be repeated as a new iteration.

Preparation

The App Builder is a powerful data-driven development tool designed to streamline application creation. Whether you're leveraging existing data sources or starting fresh, proper data modeling is key to success.

⚡ 1. Existing Data Sources

Many users already have data stored in:

• Their WordPress database
• Remote databases

🚀 The App Builder seamlessly integrates with these sources to accelerate development.

🛠️ 2. Starting from Scratch

If you’re building from the ground up:

• Define a data model that aligns with your app’s requirements.
• Ensure structural stability before coding to avoid costly rework later.

💡 Invest time in data modeling upfront — it saves ⌛ time and 💰 money down the road!

Development

Once your data model is stable and your app requirements are clear, you’re ready to begin building. The starting point is the App Wizard, which guides you through the initial setup.

🧙 App Wizard

The App Wizard lets you choose the app type and configure basic details such as language and authorization settings. Most of these can be modified later in the App Manager.

📌 As soon as the app is created, it’s ready to use with default settings, which you can customize using the builders.

❤️ App Builder

The App Builder is the heart of the Rapid Application Development (RAD) process. It’s where you manage, run, and build your app interactively.

• Manage (App) opens the App Manager, where you can update settings configured during app creation.
• Run & Build launches the app and allows you to develop it interactively.

📌 Each app type provides specific builders, accessible via the builder icon in the toolbar.

Available App Builders

📋 Table Builder
📝 Form Builder
🌎 Map Builder
📊 Chart Builder

📌 Each builder has its own configuration options. Most changes take effect immediately, though some may require restarting the app.

⚙️ App Manager

Use the App Manager to configure root-level settings such as language and authorization. These options are not available within individual builders.

Deployment

Apps can run both on the back-end and front-end:

✅ To run on the back-end, enable access in the App Manager.
✅ To run on the front-end, copy the shortcode from the App Manager and paste it into a page or post.
📌 App-level authorization applies to both environments, ensuring secure access for authorized users only.

Iterations

Requirements can evolve. When they do, your data model might need updates.

🔁 To update your data model:

• Open the Data Source section in the App Manager.
• Refresh the table or view structure.
• Review and update any builders that depend on the modified structure.

📌 This ensures your app stays in sync with your evolving data.
