使用 RESTful API 将实时数据引入 JavaScript 网格

1月 9, 2024
将您的网格连接到 RESTful API 以检索数据，使您的应用程序性能更好，可扩展性、可维护性和用户友好性更佳。

A RESTful API is a standardized interface that facilitates interaction between your application and remote data sources. Built on the principles of Representational State Transfer (REST), it leverages familiar HTTP verbs like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) on resources. This elegant and widely adopted approach ensures predictable communication, simplifies data access and manipulation, and empowers your applications to be dynamic, scalable, and efficient. In essence, RESTful APIs act as secure intermediaries, orchestrating a seamless flow of information between your application and the data it needs.

Several JavaScript grid controls support RESTful as a data source, such as:

  • Syncfusion Grid control for JavaScript (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) is a feature-rich datagrid that supports seamless RESTful data binding.
  • Ignite UI Angular Grid (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) is an Angular-native grid, that can deal with unlimited rows and columns of data, with support for REST API data sources.
  • Sencha Ext JS Grid (part of Sencha Ext JS) is a customizable grid capable of processing large data sets, with support for local or remote data sources through RESTful methods.
  • SmartClient Grid (part of SmartClient by Isomorphic Software) is an enterprise-grade grid featuring robust REST integration, supporting custom filtering logic and real-time updates.
  • ZingGrid is a JavaScript library for building customizable data tables, which also offers REST data binding capabilities, for smooth scrolling and fast rendering with massive datasets.

选择支持 Git 的 IDE，让您无需离开您的编码环境即可提交、推送和拉取更改。

Git is a ubiquitous distributed VCS that empowers software developers with transparency and collaboration. Its efficient local snapshotting and flexible branching models offer developers freedom to experiment and iterate, while its robust conflict resolution and distributed nature facilitate seamless merging and asynchronous teamwork. From solo projects to large-scale enterprise deployments, Git ensures code integrity, tracks history with meticulous detail, and provides a safety net for exploration, making it a professional standard for version control. Git integration in IDEs brings version control tools into the development environment itself. It allows developers to easily track changes, revert to previous states, and collaborate with others, without needing a separate application or process.

Several IDEs offer Git version control support including:

  • IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains includes seamless Git integration, featuring visual diff/merge, intuitive commit workflows, and built-in branch management.
  • Delphi Architect by Embarcadero provides native Git support with visual history browsers, effortless commit/push/pull actions, and conflict resolution aids.
  • PrimalScript by SAPIEN Technologies offers intuitive Git integration with visual commit history, built-in message templates and a unified interface for frictionless version control.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise contains visual branch management, conflict resolution assistants and integrated commit/push/pull functionality.

DevExpress ASP.NET Core 23.2 添加一个受 Microsoft Fluent 启发的 Web 新主题，其包括两种配色方案。

DevExpress ASP.NET Core is a powerful suite of UI components and reporting tools designed to enhance the development of modern, data-driven web applications built with ASP.NET Core. It leverages the flexibility of client-side JavaScript libraries like DevExtreme with the ease of server-side ASP.NET Core Razor syntax and Web APIs. This hybrid approach allows developers to build rich, responsive UIs with features like data grids, editors, schedulers, and charts, while maintaining the productivity and control of server-side development.

Version 23.2 introduces a new theme inspired by Microsoft's Fluent design system. This theme prioritizes accessibility, offering components with robust contrast color support. Users can choose between two distinct color schemes, Classic and Saas, and two size modes, Standard and Compact, to tailor the UI experience to their preferences. Enhancements extend beyond visuals, with the introduction of a dedicated DxFluent icon package that seamlessly integrates with the overall aesthetic. Developers can leverage the power of the ThemeBuilder tool to effortlessly customize and personalize the Fluent theme to match their specific brand identity and application demands.

用 DITA 创建和管理技术文档

1月 9, 2024
使用支持 DITA 的 XML 工具创建一次内容，并将其发布为多种格式，包括打印、Web、PDF 和移动应用。

DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is a powerful XML-based standard for authoring, managing, and delivering technical information. It breaks content into reusable "topics" (think paragraphs, images, or code snippets). These building blocks are then assembled into larger structures like manuals or user guides using "maps". DITA topics can be easily reused across multiple documents, reducing redundancy and saving time. Update the relevant topic once, and it ripples across every document that uses it. Benefit from multi-format publishing to generate stunning PDFs, web-friendly HTML, and even print-ready layouts, all from a single DITA source. DITA can be customized to accommodate different industry standards and content types and is ideal for software documentation, user manuals, API references, online help and training materials.

A number of structured document tools offer DITA support including:

  • Oxygen XML Editor Professional by Syncro Soft offers advanced DITA editing support, covering DITA 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 standards, and allows users with limited knowledge of XML to edit DITA documents in a visual interface (similar to a WYSIWYG word processor).
  • Altova Authentic includes a graphical interface with a wide variety of features that make editing XML data easy for non-technical users, while maintaining the power and flexibility of structured content authoring. It seamlessly supports industry standard XML templates such as DITA and DocBook.
