Solution
Overview
The Servoy solution represents a project that encapsulates both user interface and business logic. It supports modular design by allowing integration with other solutions defined as modules, improving organizational flexibility. Key properties include comment for programmer notes, firstForm to define the initial form upon deployment, and modulesNames listing the modules added to the solution. Authentication requirements are managed with mustAuthenticate, while solutionType specifies the type of solution, such as "Normal", "Module", "NG Client", or "Service". Other attributes like styleSheet, titleText, and version provide customization options and semantic versioning support.
Notable events include onOpen, triggered when the solution starts, and onClose, which allows conditional termination. The onAutoSaveFailed event captures validation or save failures during automatic saving. Additional functionality is available through events like onDataBroadcast for handling data updates and onError to manage runtime exceptions.
The solution provides flexible integration with login forms, internationalization, and custom styling, offering extensive configurability for various application requirements.
Properties Summarized
These are the event types of the solution that can be added/fired/removed from eventsManager object.
The i18n database server connection and database table that stores the i18n keys for a solution.
The type of a solution; can be "Normal" (non-module), "Module", "Web client only (deprecated)", "Smart client only (deprecated)", "Login", "Authenticator", "Pre-import hook module", "Post-import hook module", "Mobile", "Mobile shared module", "NG Client", "NG Module", "Service".
Events Summarized
void
The method that is executed when autosave results in validation or save failures.
void
The method that is to onOpen just that it executes before the login on solutions with a login form (not login soliution).
void
Method that is executed when data broadcast occurs.
Properties Detailed
comment
Additional information, such as programmer notes about this model object's purpose.
Type String
eventTypes
These are the event types of the solution that can be added/fired/removed from eventsManager object. These event types are added on top of default form events. They can be access through EventType.name property when used to fire or listen to.
Type Object
firstForm
The first form that loads when a solution is deployed.
NOTE: If the Login form is specified, then the firstForm is the first form that will load next after the loginForm.
Type Number
i18nDataSource
The i18n database server connection and database table that stores the i18n keys for a solution.
Type String
loginForm
The name of the login form that loads when a solution is deployed.
Type Number
loginSolutionName
Get the first module that is also a login solution.
Type String
modulesNames
The list of modules that have been added to a solution.
Type String
mustAuthenticate
Flag that tells if authentication is needed in order to access the solution. If unchecked, the Smart Client will always require authentication, regardless of this setting. If checked, authentication is required, and either a provided loginSolution or otherwise the default Servoy login mechanism will be used. If default Servoy login mechanism is used, the "servoy.webclient.basic.authentication" setting on the Admin Page can be used to enable the use of the standard browser basic authentication.
Type Boolean
solutionType
The type of a solution; can be "Normal" (non-module), "Module", "Web client only (deprecated)", "Smart client only (deprecated)", "Login", "Authenticator", "Pre-import hook module", "Post-import hook module", "Mobile", "Mobile shared module", "NG Client", "NG Module", "Service".
Type Number
styleSheet
The custom CSS used by the solution (a MEDIA lib entry). It can reference other media resources (even additional .css through relative '@import' statements). For NGClient - this CSS will be available directly in the browser.
Type Number
textOrientation
The direction that text is displayed.
Options include: DEFAULT left to right right to left locale specific
Type Number
titleText
The menu bar title of a solution.
Type String
version
This is the version of the solution, this can be any kind of string but try to follow "Semantic Versioning". This version is important when you are making modules that are distributed by the Servoy Package Manager. Then this version is used to know what the developer has installed. This version should be in sync then with the webpackage.json file.
Type String
Events Detailed
onAutoSaveFailed(recordMarkers)
The method that is executed when autosave results in validation or save failures. This is not called for save or validate calls that are triggered from javascript itself (databaseManager.saveData()), only when Servoy tries an auto save because of some event like user clicking on the form itself or foundset selection change.
Parameters
JSRecordMarkers[] recordMarkers an array of all the record markers that failed to validate or save.
Returns: void
onBeforeLogin(queryParams)
The method that is to onOpen just that it executes before the login on solutions with a login form (not login soliution). The default is -none-.
Parameters
Object<Array<String>|String> queryParams all query parameters of the deeplink url with which the Client was started, key>string if there was one value else key>Array<String>
Returns: void
onClose(force)
The method that is executed when a solution closes. The default is -none-.
Parameters
Boolean force if false then solution close can be stopped by returning false
Returns: Boolean
onDataBroadcast(dataSource, action, pks, cached)
Method that is executed when data broadcast occurs. The default is -none-.
Parameters
String dataSource table data source
Number action see SQL_ACTION_TYPES constants
JSDataSet pks affected primary keys
Boolean cached data was cached
Returns: void
onError(ex)
The method that is executed when a solution opens and an error occurs. The default is -none.
Parameters
Object ex exception to handle
Returns: Boolean
onOpen(arg, queryParams)
The method that is executed when a solution opens. The default is -none-.
Parameters
String arg startup argument part of the deeplink url with which the Client was started
Object<Array<String>|String> queryParams all query parameters of the deeplink url with which the Client was started, key>string if there was one value else key>Array<String>
Returns: void
