Apicloud's first full-featured integrated development tool released to showcase the cloud concept

recently, Apicloud launched the first full-featured integrated development tool in the cloud-apicloud Studio 2. To gain a deeper understanding of the features and benefits of this development tool,Apicloud CTO Shanda has answered several core questions.

First, Apicloudstudio 2 What kind of development tool is it?

we are Apicloud Studio 2 refines three keywords, "Atom", "cloud-in-one", and "full-featured integration".

First, Apicloud Studio 2 is a development tool based on the Atom core. As we all know,Atom is a mainstream, open-source front-end coding tool that is also very popular on Github. Apicloud Studio 2 is built on Atom 's powerful ecosystem and retains its plug-in and theme extensions intact, guaranteeing the flexibility of the tool to meet the needs of more developer personalization. Developers can install any of their favorite Atom themes or plugins in Studio 2.

Second, Apicloud Studio 2 further illustrates thedevelopment concept of Apicloud "cloud One". How to more gracefully integrate with Apicloud's existing cloud services to effectively improve developer productivity is the focus of the research and development of this tool to consider and optimize. We strive to sharpen the connection between the cloud business and the underlying coding capabilities, realizing the connectivity of the Studio 2 and Apicloud Cloud in a nearly non-sense way . Previously created cloud features such as applications, Application management, cloud compilation, module management, application configuration, and so on, are now available directly in development tools. Developers will no longer have to visit the Apicloud website when developing apps using tools .

again, compared to the many development tools of the past, Apicloud Studio 2 is a truly full-featured integrated development tool. Apicloud adhere to the multi-development tools support strategy, since the launch of Sublime Text,webstorm,Eclipse,Atom and other development tool plugins, as well as standalone CLI tools, and all open source. the Studio 2 is the Apicloud Cloud and the end of all development-related features integrated in a tool, in addition to debugging also added some useful features, such as device breakpoint debugging, based on chromium Real-time previews, and more.

second, with the previous numerous Apicloud compared to the development tools, Apicloud Studio 2 what are the aspects of the upgrade?

the core role of a development tool is to facilitate the coding and debugging of developers, so the function of the upgrade is mainly reflected in these two aspects. Apicloud is committed to simplifying mobile application development, an efficient, convenient and powerful development tool that will help achieve this goal.

Efficient coding, development speed

• Apicloud Studio 2 has a large collection of AUI front-end frame templates, such as lists, navigation, detail pages, timelines, and other common features. Developers can choose to use and generate their own applications when creating

• The tool also embeds a AUI a large number of components, developers in the coding process, can right-click at any time to insert a component, no need to encode

• This time, the Code hints feature in the development tool is upgraded to not only prompt the keyword about the code, but also show the code-related document or interface. Make code information more comprehensive and smarter

• The quick-build component embedded in the Emmet code in Studio 2, which generates code using the syntax of the faux CSS selector, greatly improves the efficiency of writing HTML/CSS

• Self-developed local code time machine function, support manual backup and synchronization with the cloud, automatically back up local uncommitted code

• Support GIT-SVN 's code management;

to take into account the stability and convenience of code management services, Using GIT-SVN technology in Studio 2 , developers are free to use git clients to manage code on a git or SVN server

Easy commissioning, real-time preview

• support for compiling custom Loader

• upgrade WiFi true sync feature for more automation

• support ios/android remote device breakpoint debugging, without VPN or Fanqiang, can quickly draw the current variable value when encoding, and can find the error point accurately

• Support the preview of the device page effect;

Studio 2 uses the chromium-based Devtool tool to not only Preview page effects in studio, but also dynamically modify styles, break points and more as you would in Google Chrome

• Support for Cloud compilation and local compilation

Cloud services, one-click Integration

• Module Management: Support for direct check or removal Apicloud Development Module

• Application management: Support to set app permissions, certificates, versions, modify icon start page and other information

Iii. Research and development Apicloudstudio 2 what is the original intention and meaning?

Apicloud These years of development can be summarized as five key words, representing five different stages and goals of development.

Cross-end – the core advantage of the product is "a set of code to simultaneously develop IOS and Android two apps", and ensure the functionality, performance, and experience of the app.

Multiplexing--modules Store, the standardized platform function extension mechanism, provides a large number of standard packaged, functionally independent modules and services.

Simple-multi-development tools support strategy, provide all the mainstream development tools plug-ins and open source, developers can use any of their favorite development tools to develop Apicloud applications.

Fusion- Superwebview accelerates the convergence of Web and Native, using Apicloud products and services in native applications .

implementation-- Apicloud Custom platform launches, enabling teams and businesses with no technical capabilities to realize the dream of developing mobile applications

Apicloud Studio 2 is an "implementation" of the product, we want to achieve the concept of the cloud as a whole, to enable developers to develop the APP is simple enough, including for coding debugging tools are also more convenient.

with Atom as a front-end coding tool becomes more and more mainstream, a lot of Apicloud developers hope that the official can launch Atom- related apicloud plug-ins, for developers to use Atom Development tools to develop Apicloud applications. Starting last month,Apicloud assembled a team of engineers who developed different tools to launch Atom plugins with different functions, including WiFi real - computer synchronization, application management, Code hints and so on, and Open source on Github. We then decided to combine the cloud services in the Apicloud and eventually developed a fully functional integrated development tool in the cloud.

Apicloudstudio 2 not only for the development of developer users, but also for our corporate customers. In the process of serving enterprise customers, they found that they generally have their own management norms, they need a unified, official release of integrated development tools, now apicloud Studio 2 can meet the needs of enterprise customers.
