UI Builder

Build your app's frontend with the drag-and-drop, visual, codeless UI Builder. Design mobile and web apps that seamlessly connect with your Backendless backend for fast and easy real-time app development.
Introducing Backendless UI Builder
Get introduced to UI Builder: build your app frontend with a visual, codeless, drag-and-drop app builder that integrates seamlessly with your Backendless backend.
How To Add, Copy, And Delete Pages
Pages are the fundamental element of UI Builder. Learn to create, rename, delete, and clone pages, how to create page templates, and how to designate your "Main" page.
How To Add, Copy, and Delete Components
Learn about components in UI Builder. Add, move, delete, and replicate components, navigate to a component's parent, and understand the concept of "directionality" in Blocks.
Using The Component Tree In UI Builder
The Component Tree is a visual representation of the hierarchy of all components on a page. Use the Tree to navigate among components and locate components on the page.
About Component IDs In Backendless UI Builder
A component ID is used to identify a component in the UI hierarchy. Additionally, the ID is used to reference the component in the codeless logic.
Managing UI Layouts - Part 1 - Building Blocks
The "building blocks" of the layout management system. Use these elements and configuration properties to create virtually any app layout for web or mobile interface.
Managing UI Layouts - Part 2 - Rendering Effects
Learn how to apply layout management properties to achieve various rendering effects. Includes the Container and Block components and FlexBot layout properties.
About The Auto-Generated 404 Page In UI Builder
The 404 page is automatically created for you and can be edited just like any other page. The 404 page will be shown when a user navigates to a non-existing resource.
Previewing And Publishing Your Codeless UI App
One-click preview is available for mobile and desktop browsers. When you publish, UI Builder packages and compresses the app and deploys it to file storage.
Introduction To Codeless Logic In UI Builder
Use an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for expressing the logic executed in your app, such as retrieving data from the database, controlling the state of the UI components, etc.
About Data Binding In UI Builder
With data binding, you can control components' visibility, clickability, internal or visible state, render complex views, gather and submit form data, and much more.
Types Of Logic - Events And Handlers
Events execute in response to user action or interaction with a component. Handlers are executed when the UI re-renders in response to data model changes.
How To Exchange Data Between Pages
When you build apps without coding, a mechanism must be in place which lets you share data between the pages. This mechanism in UI Builder is called "App Data".
The Container Component In UI Builder
The Container component can be used to create grid-like layouts. It can have a fixed number of rows or with "Dynamic List Behavior", it can render content dynamically.
The Row Component In UI Builder
The Row component is the foundation of the Container component. See a demo of creating an image gallery using the Dynamic List Behavior of the Row component.
Two Directional Data Binding In UI Builder
Review the process of using two data binding approaches in the same Container component by creating an Image Gallery app with two separate data bindings on rows.
The Panel Component In UI Builder
Review the Panel component, its structure, and the differences between it and the Container/Row/Cell structure. See visual and behavioral properties in action.
