We're happy to announce that a new demo application is available. It's more or less a delivery service.
The demo application is not a real delivery service application! It demonstrates how to create and integrate a custom UI based on our reactUI. It's a demo application for software developers.
The full source code and documentation is available here.
custom UI (delivery service)
Simply install the application via VisionX' Marketplace and open the "next generation" live preview.
The application already contains the custom UI.
VisionX is the only tool which offers such flexible customization of applications with state-of-the-art technology. Same customization is available for native mobile (flutter) apps.
The multi-factor-authentication support in JVx is not a brand-new feature but it was undocumented. If you're interested in MFA, simply read the documentation.
If you're also interested in custom REST services, read following article.
The JVx documentation doesn't explain every single feature of JVx, but it's better than you think!
We're happy to announce VisionX 5.8. It's a big update with bombastic features.
The exact version number is 5.8.180.
The version comes with the latest release build of our brand new react user interface and a brand new (native) mobile application. Our react UI is an additional UI and can be used as modern alternative to our good old vaadin UI, which is still part of VisionX. We'll continue our vaadin UI and keep it as long as possible, but cool features will be available for react UI. Our react UI looks modern and is easy to style with CSS. In VisionX, the live preview contains a new design mode. The design mode makes it possible to style the application live in the browser. It's an awesome feature, simply try it out!
The design mode is an experimental feature of VisionX 5.8.
We also build our react UI daily, automatically as pre-releases. This makes it easy for you, to update react UI in your VisionX or to build your custom react UI. As long as react UI is compatible with your VisionX version, you get the latest features without new VisionX release.
But not only the react UI is brand new, also our (native) mobile client is brand new. It's still based on flutter but got a complete redesign. The new app is super fast, and supports all layout features of VisionX. To be honest, it's awesome. And we have the same update strategy for the mobile app. As long as it is compatible with your VisionX installation, it can be updated independent of VisionX. VisionX 5.8 also contains a live preview for the mobile app, directly in your web browser. You won't need a real device for the preview, but it looks like the app on your mobile device! This is so cool.
What's new?
The version got some updates for the screen designer and we improved user experience. It also contains a lot of bug fixes. The main focus was on new react UI and new mobile application.
Some visual changes
Hidden menu group
Simply move a work-screen to the hidden group and it will be invisible. There are also two new move buttons in the menu management. It's now possible to move a screen directly into another group.
Hidden group
Anchor positions
It's now possible to show the exact position of an element. It's also possible to change the position manually.

New elements
As usual, VisionX 5.8.180 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!
We fixed a smaller bug. If you have a button beside an editor and move the editor, the layout was not as expected.
We also updated the new reactUI to the latest version.
The clear search button is now able to automatic search after clear, if enabled.
We're so happy to announce VisionX 5.7.11. We worked hard to finish everything in-time and we did it!
It's a big update with many new features and a first face-lift. A detailed blog post will follow in the next days.
Here are some highlights:
Filter master/detail with detail fields
It's now possible to search in a detail table and show all master records which contain found records.
EDB support
If you want to use specific EDB features and not only standard PostgreSql DB, it's now possible.
Function/Procedure support for PostreSql DB
Simply call a db function or procedure directly.
Hide screens
The menu configuration now shows a special group for hidden screens. Simply move a screen to this group to hide a screen.
Next generation UI
The next generation web UI is ready to use.
Additional doc and video buttons
The window title got two new buttons...
Themes for standard web UI
It's now possible to use different styles for the standard web UI, in the configuration screen.
Solution Store is now our Marketplace
Updated AddOns: Cloud, Profiles, Workflow, REST
... many bugs fixed
Because of important updates of Cloud AddOn, old VisionX installations with old Cloud AddOn won't work without update to VisionX 5.7.11 and new Cloud AddOn. So, if you use Cloud AddOn, update to VisionX 5.7.11.
As usual, VisionX 5.7.11 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!
With our latest VisionX EA versions, we changed the style a little bit. It's still the good old VisionX, but with a modern touch.
Some impressions

Hide screens
What else is new?
Our latest EA version now supports commercial EDB JDBC driver. It's not bundled with VisionX, because of driver license, but if you are EDB customer, it's as simple as copy/paste, to use EDB JDBC driver. Sure, this is a developer feature.
Our brand new react UI is also available via npm. The example application already describes how to use reactUI as dependency.
The react UI is not a replacement of our current vaadin UI, it's a modern UI based on react. Using react is sometimes easier in case of customization or if you plan to integrate an application into existing portals. We have still many vaadin UI applications and users, so no worries. We'll keep it as long as possible.
What's next?
We plan to release our flutter app in Q3. It's a complete rewrite of the current app. It's super fast compared to the first version, has full layout support and is still open source.
The current EA version of VisionX 5.6.4652 contains some bugfixes and improvements.
We polished the look and feel a little bit. Our new EA version comes with support for hidden screens. It's possible to define which screens are visible and which are hidden. The new EA version also contains latest reactUI which will be our next generation web application layer.
And as usual - bugfixes.
As usual - available in the download area for our customers
Have fun!
