I. Introduction
I have talked to you before that low-code programming, driven by the crazy growth of Internet business at this stage, has been given a new mission and obligation, that is, to help developers quickly build an application at a lower cost in the early stage. Market-ready applications.
So, are there any relatively mature low-code tools that have full source code support, are easy to use, and are friendly to Chinese users?
The answer is of course yes.
Recently, I stumbled across a great low-code development platform on GitHub Trending: JNPF, which can be used to quickly build internal tools.
In the process of enterprise development, there will be a large number of customized development problems that cannot be solved by purchasing standardized SAAS. In order to solve such problems, many repetitive and workload-heavy backend systems are often required. For teams or companies with insufficient front-end manpower, this is Problems like this are particularly painful.
Through JNPF, enterprises can solve various page development needs with very few engineer manpower.
The characteristic of JNPF lies in its powerful "front-end construction + JS driver + database connection + extremely fast deployment". Developers can directly use JS to drive business logic, use drag and drop in the canvas to complete page design, and finally perform one-click deployment through JNPF.
Many users will find that some of their own needs can be quickly solved through JNPF. Even sometimes development tasks that require about a week's worth of work can be efficiently solved in up to half a day.
Below I will share some of JNPF's core products and their basic functions. If you can flexibly use JNPF's products, it is not a problem to quickly develop some private work. Not only is the quality of the project guaranteed, but it can also be visually unified. Beautiful.
2. Build a system based on functions
1. Drag-and-drop construction of front-end components
JNPF provides more than fifty high-frequency prefabricated components, including tables, charts, lists, containers, forms, etc., supports the input and display of a variety of data, and can be used in various scenarios such as customer management and data dashboards.
For many engineers, the flexible use of high-quality prefabricated components can greatly save time, allowing more energy to be spent on more creative and constructive code.
2. Rich functions to meet common scenarios
It has built-in common usage scenarios and basic needs of the backend management system. It is equipped with visual function engines such as process engine, form engine, report engine, chart engine, interface engine, portal engine, and organizational user engine. It has more than hundreds of functional controls and a large number of practical templates. , so that development can be completed with a simple drag-and-drop operation.
3. Mainstream databases and operating systems
It has a high degree of domestic adaptability and supports connecting to multiple data sources. The application can quickly complete data integration with third-party systems. Currently supported databases are: SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. It is also compatible with domestic databases Dameng and Renmin University of Finance and Economics. wait.
At the same time, in the face of changing demand in many aspects of applications, JNPF provides a rich API interface to quickly connect with commonly used third-party software such as DingTalk and Enterprise WeChat.
3. Core capabilities of low-code tools
(1) Full stack visual programming
Visualization contains two meanings:
- One is the click, drag and configuration operations supported during editing
- The other is the WYSIWYG preview effect after editing is completed.
Traditional code IDEs also support some visualization capabilities (such as Visual Studio's MFC/WPF in the early years), but low-code emphasizes full-stack, end-to-end visual programming, covering all technical aspects involved in a complete application development (interface/data /logic).
(2) Full life cycle management
That is, starting from the design stage (some platforms also support more advanced project and demand management), through development, construction, testing and deployment, until various operations and maintenance (eg monitoring alarms, application online and offline) and operations (eg monitoring and alarming, application online and offline) after going online. eg data reports, user feedback).
(3) Low code expansion capability
When using low-code development, code is still indispensable in most cases, so the platform must be able to support flexible expansion of all levels of the application with a small amount of code when necessary, such as adding custom components, modifying theme CSS styles, and customizing logic flows. Zuo et al. Some possible demand scenarios include: UI style customization, legacy code reuse, dedicated encryption algorithms, and non-standard system integration.

4. Finally
JNPF's product releases have still maintained the iteration speed of one new version every two months. Although there are still many competitors in the low-code track, JNPF's products have still received unanimous praise in use. I believe that as JNPF's functions are gradually improved, It can create more convenience and value for developers.
