Using CloudyRec Code Generator

The greatest CloudyRec feature among other backend service provider is the Code Generator where it can generate the native modal source code with the specified schema in the previous "Getting Started" section.

Sandbox Environment


When you’ve satisfied the attributes and resources for the applications, you can start loading into the sandbox to make the apps ready for testing.  Go to the Define tab of the dashboard and click the “Load to sandbox” button located at the right side of the application name as shown in the figure below.

Note : In CloudyRec, there are two types of development modes available called Sandbox and Production. Sandbox is for testing the applications while developing and it’s totally free and developer doesn’t needs to pay a penny while using Sandbox.  I would recommend to put into production mode once you’ve published the apps as the data from the Sandbox will be flushed in timely manners and it’s not safe to put the data into sandbox once your apps goes live to public.

Production Mode

Production mode offers  developers  the following great features.
  •     Versioning where developer can create versions of the apps and it’s backward compatibility.
  •    Faster API calls and fully scalable.
  •   Analytics so you can track how many hits does you apps get.
  •   OAuth authentication to prevent unauthorised access to your app etc..
If your app is in the sandbox mode, you can generate the source code (Modal code) for your apps to integrate in the project. 

Go to Generate tab and generate the source code for your development environment. In this example, I will generate the source code for WP7 but you’re not limited only to WP7 and you can generate source code for 7 different platforms which can easily make your apps as a cross-platform compatible mode.

Once you’ve clicked the generate button, you needs to wait for a while to complete the code generation queue and after a while refresh the page to see the button for downloading of the actual code.

After you’ve downloaded and extracted the generated source code, it's recommended you to change the main folder of the source code to “CloudyRec” as shown in the figure below.

The app is now ready to integrate in the Windows 8 Metro apps project. Let’s begin writing the todo-list cross-platform cloud based application by clicking here.

Note : You're allowed to generate the source code for as much platforms as you can and make your apps cross-platform while accessing to the same datasource from different mobile platforms.
