Some of our other articles have covered what Backendless Geoservice is, how to populate a Backendless backend with sample data and how to run partial match geo searches. In this post, we will review the API for searching for geopoints in a circular shaped area or radius.
Data objects stored in Backendless Database may have related objects through one-to-one or one-to-many collections. When objects are retrieved on the client-side, these relations are materialized as collections of data in the object’s fields or properties.
A user on StackOverflow asked how to load only the data that belongs to the currently logged-in user. This is indeed an interesting and very common use-case. Backendless handles it beautifully and this feature certainly deserves a place among our Recipes.
There are plenty of use cases when mBaaS-powered applications must use a centralized mechanism for incrementing or decrementing a value. There are several approaches for maintaining a counter – some apps use a database, others keep it in the server-side business logic (Cloud Code).
In other posts, we have described how to set up a sample Geolocation data set and how to retrieve geopoints using the API. The geopoints in your application would not be the ones from the sample data set, we used it only to make it easier to get started with Backendless Geolocation. Adding geopoints to…
The Logout API is a logical counterpart for the User Login API, described in an article here. The full documentation for the Backendless REST logout API can be found here. The logout step is not required for most apps given that the user session will expire automatically. However, some apps choose to provide the functionality, especially…
In this post, we will show how to save an object with relations in Backendless Database. We are using the “code first” approach, which means we will not be creating data tables in the backend. Instead, the code will dictate to the backend what the data schema should look like.
Once an object is stored in the Backendless data storage, any of its properties (except for the system ones) can be updated using the data update API. The API works the same way as the initial call for saving the object. To update a property value, simply modify it in the instance representing the saved…
We’re continuing our Backendless Recipe series. In this post, we will review the user registration API (see the API documentation for Android, iOS, JavaScript, REST). The User Registration API is likely one of the first APIs you work with when you start with Backendless. The API handles the process of registering a user with an application so…
