Updating implementation

[Irwan Setiawan]

Hello 👋

I've just discovered Loopple and it looks like I can build a great dashboard with great UI.

Let me understand how it works: I build the UI with Loopple drag and drop, I download the project code (contains HTML, CSS and JS), then I need our developer to integrate our data into the Loople dashboard code.

What happens when we need to update a few parts of the page? I update the Loople project, download the new project code, but I can't replace the old project code with the new one because it already has integration code in it.

How do you solve this problem? What's the best practice here?

Thanks

Hi @irwansetiawan,

Thank you for your interest in working with Loopple.

Currently, Loopple works as you described in the first part: you build the Dashboard using drag and drop, download the code source, and then integrate it with your data.

When you have to make updates, that's right, you have to replace the code with the new one or add just the new sections that we need.

Also, our long term is to add data integration so people will build their dashboard completely in Loopple, without having to make the integration external by a developer.

Can you please tell me what integration would you need for your project, so I can add it in the requirments for the nexts steps?

Thank you,
Rares

Thanks Rares,

Updating and replacing code with a new one will be tricky, because there will be some data-related codes embedded into the template. Adding data integration into Loopple would be ideal, we are using PostgreSQL as our main database.

Alternatively, you could also implement a connector between HTML and javascript, then provide a Javascript interface for custom data integration. This way, Loopple would be very flexible and not limited by just some data integration options.

Thanks
