  • Tutorial: a basic course that introduces the main features of the Livebase platform through modeling, generation, use, and evolutionary maintenance of a simple example application. This guide is designed to give you a small appreciation of the power and speed of low-code model-driven development.

  • Modeling: a constantly updated reference guide that describes all the functions of the Designer, grouped by Schema.

  • Plugin development: a guide designed for developers that shows how to declare Handler in the classes of a Livebase model, and how to invoke some external application logic at specific events involving that class (e.g., creation or modification of an object).

  • API GraphQL: comprehensive reference to GraphQL services available for generated applications; illustrates differences with REST APIs and shows how to perform queries and mutations on Livebase’s GraphQL Schema.

  • Cloudlet management: contains guidance on how to set up the Cloudlet localization, a list of its properties and a section dedicated to REST services.

  • Database management: describes all aspects related to evolutionary maintenance of data through the Cloudlet; within this section you can also find a guide to learning how to import data from legacy management systems onto application databases generated with Livebase.
