Introduction

The Development Framework is a framework for standardizing and simplifying processes of building applications by automating mechanisms for data and process modeling, data storage, front-end development and analysis orchestration.

Overview

The framework consists of several services, tools, and libraries to be used in the development of applications.

Services

• Data modeling storage service (DMSS) is a service used for storing, querying, validating, and exporting blueprints and entities.
• Data modeling job API is a service for scheduling and running jobs defined as entities in DMSS.

Tools

• Data modeling CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) that can be used to
  • Import and export blueprints and entities to the data modeling storage service
  • Validate entities
  • Delete blueprint and entites
  • Create application contexts
• Create data modeling app is used to create new data modelling apps from a template

Packages

• Data modeling core packages contains published libraries like the core frontend package and UI plugins.

Learn core concepts

First of all you should understand the concept of blueprints and entitites. Thats how we define models and create data objects.

Read about recipes which is used to extend the application and configure storage of data.

To understand where data is stored, have a look at data sources.

Read about how to extend the application using plugins.
