Connect

Connect to your ReST API.

Your Application Programming Interface (API) will probably be engineered using the Representational State Transfer (ReST) protocols. This allows data to be Created, Read, Updated and Deleted (CRUD).

You connect each ReST API as a Flexiva data source using your security credentials, and test these to ensure that this works as expected in Flexiva.

Note that your ReST API is never accessed directly by the client-side application. It is only used via our Web API proxy to ensure that all your data traffic remains secure by being hidden from prying eyes.

This is done my opening the App Studio and using the Data Sources configurator. Each of your ReST API CRUD endpoints should be used to create and test data source request so that data can be created, read, updated and deleted.

Once you have created data source requests for all necessary CRUD operations, you can now design your forms to start presenting this information for manipulation by your end-users.
